The vibe:

The Glow Up Framework:

Rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and strategy - you’ll learn how to map your year based on how you actually work best. No copy-paste “morning routine” BS.

1:1 Coaching With Elisabeth:

Each attendee gets dedicated time with Elisabeth to untangle what you really want, why you want it, and what’s been blocking you. You’ll leave with micro-goals that feel achievable and exciting.

Your 12-Month Visibility & Confidence Plan:

Create a personalised roadmap for 2025 that blends mindset, confidence, marketing, content, systems and sales. This is the plan you’ll actually stick to - because it’s built around you, not against you.

All the comfort, none of the conference energy:

Think candlelit evenings, deep chats, walking distance to the historic town of Witney, and intentional space to reflect, reset and plan powerfully.

The space...

The Strategic Glow Up Retreat will be an intimate affair of maximum 8 guests at the beautiful Church Green property in the heart of Witney, located right on Church Green and within walking distance to all the magic the Cotswolds has to offer.

All of the king beds can be configured into twin beds should you choose a shared occupancy room.

Why This & Why Now?

You know how to set goals.
You’ve done the vision boards.

Bought the planners.

Written down your 10k months.

But year after year, December rolls around and you wonder…
“Why am I still stuck in the same place?”

😬 The overwhelm creeps in.

😤 The momentum dies by March.

😔 The self-doubt gets louder than the strategy.

And suddenly, another year has passed - and your goals are still goals.

They're not your reality.

You don't have receipts.

And there are n0 results.

This isn’t just another planning retreat where you'll feel motivated for a few days and then go back to your busy life and not action anything.

This is where we stop the cycle for good.

At The Strategic Glow Up Retreat, we go beyond goal setting - and give you the mindset, structure, and support system to actually follow through.

Because setting goals isn’t the problem.

Trying to stick to them with zero emotional buy-in, no nervous system safety, and an unrealistic ‘should-based’ strategy is.

This is for the business owner who is DONE hiding.

Whether you’re ghosting your socials, overthinking every caption, or just sick of trying to “do it right”…

Over 4 transformative days, you’ll experience:

About your host:

Elisabeth Carley-Leonard is a visibility and content strategist, keynote speaker, and the founder of V&V - known for helping purpose-led women show up online with clarity, confidence, and their full personality intact.

But she didn’t always feel visible.

In 2023, Elisabeth left her “perfect on paper” life - the house, the dog, the marriage, the business in Leicester - with nothing but a suitcase and a gut feeling. She moved to London with no money, no plan, and a deep knowing that she was meant for more.

Since then, she’s built a bold, unfiltered brand from the ground up, empowering hundreds of women to stop hiding and start showing up - fully seen, fully expressed, and fully in charge of their voice online.

Elisabeth has hosted two transformational retreats in Italy and one in Wiltshire, blending business strategy, confidence coaching, and deep personal growth. Her sessions are known for being strategic but never stuffy, emotional without the ick, and filled with the kind of sass, safety, and soul that make women feel like they can take on the world.

The Strategic Show Up Retreat is a culmination of everything she’s learned about business, self-worth, and visibility - and she cannot wait to welcome you into this next-level version of your life.

After breakfast at around 9am, it's time for you to get ready to check out by 10:30am, so the team have time to get the property back into ship shape before their departure.

Here's what happened on the previous retreats...

"Your insight helped me see a few things and now I have Actionable, Realistic, & Practical things I can put into place"

"A simple trip for learning turned into a trip of reality and realisations.

Elisabeth you were focused and caring at the same time. Your energy and zest for life is infectious . You have a lot of great experience and insights that have been really helpful for me to apply to my life.

You are an amazing listener. Your insight helped me see a few things and now I have Actionable, Realistic, & Practical things I can put into place.

Your energy and ability to listen created a comfortable environment for me to share. It felt like I was finally able to open myself up and take a good look with an open mind.

I look forward to continuing working with you into the future as I’ve found it to be extremely beneficial to achieving my goals."

"I know I came away from the retreat not only learning new skills but also with a much more positive mindset"

"I just want a minute to give a huge hands up to our hostess with the mostess Elisabeth, who organised the absolute perfect Italian retreat

A retreat where the sun was shining and the Prosecco and conversation flowing . Elisabeth has such a vibe, her energy throughout the few days was infectious and I know I came away from the retreat not only learning new skills but also with a much more positive mindset. I not only leveled up in business but I feel I leveled up as a person as well

So thank you Lizzie and all you incredible ladies on this retreat, I will definitely never forget this trip or the value that I took away with me when I left"

- Hayley

"I will be forever grateful for this weekend"

"Thank you so much for pulling this together.

I took inspiration from every single one of you.

Everything was absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t change a single thing.

My main take away is, taking some time out on a regular basis to deal with my emotions.

I keep myself so busy and I don’t deal with my emotions. Elisabeth, I will be forever grateful for this weekend"

- Kirstyn

"I left with a sense of clarity, renewed energy, and a toolbox of practices for continued self-improvement"

All I say is Wow...

Attending this retreat was a transformative experience for me, from our daily sessions with Elisabeth to her cooking delicious meals, every detail was curated to assist in my self-discovery and well-being, where I could unwind, recharge, and reconnect with myself.

The ladies I met during this weekend were phenomenal and the can do attitude left me feeling uplifted and positive.

I left feeling renewed, both mentally and physically. This retreat is a true investment in my health and happiness, it was an absolute game-changer for me.

The range of activities and the support from the group really challenged me to identify my values and needs, and with the tranquil surroundings, allowed me to disconnect from the daily grind and truly focus on my well-being.

I left with a sense of clarity, renewed energy, and a toolbox of practices for continued self-improvement.

This retreat is a must for anyone seeking a holistic reset and a journey towards a healthier, more mindful life.

"I can truly say I've had the most amazing time with the most beautiful inspirational women"

"Having taken myself out my comfort zone, I can truly say I've had the most amazing time with the most beautiful inspirational women, came back with a positive mindset and some personal growth.

Thank you Elisabeth for everything, you went above and beyond to make sure everyone was looked after.

You are one amazing woman.

What an amazing experience, I will never forget, in such a beautiful setting, it was absolutely perfect"

- Sally

"I broke through personal blocks I didn't even know I had"

"Attending the Italian Retreat hosted by the wonderful Elisabeth was like getting hit by a personal growth tsunami in the best possible way! Elisabeth created an atmosphere so safe and supportive that even my comfort zone decided to take a vacation!

The retreat was a perfect blend of introspection, boundary-pushing, and vulnerability. It was like a crash course in personal growth, with Elisabeth as the enthusiastic and wise professor and amazing ladies from many different backgrounds all coming together to help make us feel like we were all in this together, creating a bonding experience that could rival any superhero team-up.

Thanks to Elisabeth's expert facilitation, I broke through personal blocks I didn't even know I had. I'm now armed with the superpower of embracing vulnerability and the courage to leap outside my comfort zone. If personal growth were an Olympic sport, Elisabeth would definitely take home the gold!

I can't thank Elisabeth enough for this life-changing experience. She has a knack for turning personal growth into an adventure, sprinkling it with humour, and leaving you with memories and newfound strength that will last a lifetime. Thank you once again for the experience of a lifetime"

- Rashda

"I would recommend whoever gets a chance to attend this retreat, please go for it, because it was worth it"

“Before going to the retreat, I did not know what to expect and of course I had cold feet as it was my first solo trip to a new country. However I gained more than what was offered initially.

I developed the confidence that I can travel on my own and despite having some physical limitations, I managed all the stairs, walks and I was proud of myself.

Meeting the host and other ladies who were so inspirational, listening to their stories of resilience and achievements. I feel I have some good friends and we are already making plans to meet up soon.

To top it all was of course was the business and professional training.

Loved how the host gave examples of her own life to make us relate better to what we were learning.

I would recommend whoever gets a chance to attend this retreat, please go for it, because it was worth it 👌”
