Leadership & Team Building Days
At Little Peace Farm, nestled in the picture-perfect village of Tissington in the stunning Derbyshire Dales, we believe that real leadership and team development starts with the right space — one that invites people to slow down, breathe, and connect with themselves and each other in meaningful ways.
We offer a unique opportunity for leaders and teams to step away from the pressures of everyday work and immerse themselves in nature, mindfulness, and practical coaching. Our Leadership Coaching and Team Development Days are designed to give organisations a nurturing yet challenging environment where true growth can happen.
Our vision is simple yet powerful: at Little Peace Farm, we give leaders and teams dedicated space for themselves — space to nurture creativity, inclusivity, and a clear shared vision for the future. By developing a coaching culture within your organisation, you’ll build the confidence to problem-solve and deliver lasting change in the public, private, and voluntary sectors.
These days are carefully crafted to combine moments of calm and reflection with challenge, exploration, and deep development work. It’s more than just a team away day — it’s an immersive experience that empowers you to step into your authentic leadership, tackle tough conversations with sensitivity and empathy, and leave with practical solutions to the real issues you face.
Led by Jo Smith — an experienced leadership coach with a proven track record spanning over 20 years of driving innovation and culture change across local authorities, charities, and community organisations nationwide — our team development retreats are rooted in expertise and compassion. Jo knows how to hold a space where difficult conversations can happen safely, where ideas flourish, and where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Your day will be based in our beautifully converted barn — a warm, inviting space that can be used for creative workshops, coaching sessions, and shared meals. You will be able to spend time outdoors connecting with the farm’s animals and the peaceful Derbyshire countryside — moments that often spark inspiration, courage, and new perspectives.
Whether you’re an executive team wanting to develop authentic leadership, a department exploring new ways to problem-solve, or a small charity looking to strengthen team trust, you’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose. Leaders will feel more able to make brave decisions with empathy and confidence. Teams will better understand each other, value each person’s strengths, and feel united by a clear vision and way forward.
Little Peace Farm’s coaching and team building experiences help you grow a coaching culture that lives beyond a single day. You’ll return to your organisation with practical strategies to nurture creativity, tackle challenges collaboratively, and support continuous improvement and inclusion.
We’re proud to offer a truly unique venue for leadership retreats and team building in Derbyshire — a place where space, nature, and experienced coaching come together to transform the way you work.
