Episode 116 The Art of Retreats with Fabrice Desmarescaux | The Tim Castle Show
This is very special episode, one that everyone MUST listen to deeply - it could change your life!
Business leaders need to find inner peace if they are to create an inspiring and sustainable future.
Fabrice Desmarescaux former partner at McKinsey & Company, Fabrice has practiced meditation, taught yoga, and led spiritual retreats for two decades. Fabrice looks after leadership development at McKinsey & Company.
The first half of his life is a very classic business background, engineering, then to business school, to partner.
Externally Fabrice had all the markers of success, the position, the responsibility, a few thousand under his care, but he realized he was not really fulfilled - he was not enjoying himself. This triggered a point of reflection and a complete career change at 42.
He went from being a senior banker, to starting completely afresh as global executive search and then coaching. He understood what the drivers of great careers are. What separates people who make it to the top. What makes people feel fulfilled and what makes people run on empty. He had finally found something that made him feel very fulfilled.
His practice transformed to coaching. Now he works with executive leaders to develop the next generation of leaders.
His groundbreaking book The Art of Retreats: A leaders journey to clarity, balance and purpose, provides simple, practical advice for creating effective solo retreats, from the occasional hour carved into the day to profoundly insightful weekends and more. Drawing on a unique combination of business experience, science, philosophy, and ancient wisdom, it offers deep reflections, practices, and contemplations that will help leaders find peace, resolve, and wisdom in an otherwise hectic life.
In this episode we talk about:
- How do we enable organizations to flourish?
- The of damage of business
- What are the patterns for people who are driven, smart, conscientiousness and hungry who push and cut themselves no slack?
- How do you balance promotions and money with fulfillment?
I felt like I was guided into his work and Fabrice can help a lot of listeners manage this situation.
