In person support for people thinking beyond the noise.

Individuals & Leaders

Living and leading well starts with who you are becoming.

Time on the land, in high trust company, for high responsibility people who want to live and lead from depth, not just momentum.

Perhaps you’ve sold your business? Been promoted? Taken public office? Inherited wealth? Retired from elite sports or service? Or wondering “now what”?

A life of high influence, responsibility, or leadership at scale, asks a lot of a person. It is far harder to hide who you are and you must operate in a life awash with character traps. There is help galore to help you climb the ladder, but little for the personal formation required when you get there.

I can help. For decades I have supported people like you from across the spectrum: boards, family offices, entrepreneurs, executives, diplomats, politicians etc.

At Our Cornish Farm we marry my experience to our setting to offer unique experiences that will help you navigate your position. Simply and without pretence.

Our location also enables us to offer solutions ranging from the calm and reflective to the demanding and robust. All within one of England’s most atmospheric spaces.

Teams

Great teams are formed, not managed.

Time on the land for teams wanting to achieve something significant together.

Most teams spend their days reacting: meetings, deadlines, and the pressure of the next quarter. There’s rarely room to ask the deeper questions. What are we really here for? What kind of culture are we building without noticing? How do we put ourselves at the vanguard of something new?

Over 20 years of consulting to executive teams and boards, I have seen time and again what happens when a team is given time in a beautiful place. People find a deeper sense of framing and a different gear for the future.

Welcome to the unique and rewarding off-site option provided by John’s consulting businesses: Shoremount.

Call or email John to discuss your need.

Why gather at Our Cornish Farm?

Gathering in a boardroom or a conference suite keeps people in their roles. Being on a farm like ours, wedged between the moor and the sea, looses people up. Shared meals, walks through the orchards and a rhythm of a place that has hosted farming, feasts and festivals for over for a thousand years changes how people talk to each other and the ideas that come to my mind.

Who is it ideal for?

Leadership teams, boards, senior staff and organisations that carry real influence and want to lead from shared purpose, not just shared targets. It suits teams in a moment of transition, growth, strain or reflection, and those simply wanting to invest in each other.
