Adventurer, you are invited…
To embark on a noble (and slightly silly) journey of self-discovery, courage, and leadership type things.
Six brave souls will gather in Wellington for a full-day immersive experience where the stakes are imaginary but the growth is real.
We’ll explore your strengths, talk through real leadership challenges, and spot where growth is needed. Then you’ll create a character (yes, like a wizard or warrior) based on what you’ve learned — and step into A Quest Within, our custom role-playing game designed to help you grow your leadership skills in a fun, low-stakes way.
Also, there will be lunch.
🗓 Date: Thursday 8th May 2025
📍 Location: The Library, Space Place, Wellington
🕘 Time: 9am – 5pm
👀 Who: 6 brave adventurers
💰 Cost: $450 (pilot price in exchange for your feedback, a testimonial, and letting us snap a few photos of your heroic journey). Lunch is included.
What’s actually going to happen
This isn’t your average leadership seminar. No jargon. No waffle. Just playful, practical growth.
You’ll:
🌿 Explore your leadership style in nature
🪞 Reflect on real challenges you’re facing
🎭 Create a character — your leadership avatar
🎲 Step into A Quest Within, a guided role-playing game
🔍 Debrief and turn story into real-world insight
🤝 Connect with other curious, courageous leaders
No role-playing experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to play.
Why might you go on this quest?
You’re a founder or leader scaling your business and wondering, “Am I doing this right?”
You’d rather experiment, play, and reflect than sit through another leadership lecture
You’re willing to be a little silly in the name of serious growth
You’ve tried other leadership development approaches and they haven’t worked for you (they’re a bit too traditional and ineffective)
Not for you if you believe all learning should be painfully serious or if you’re not willing to look inside yourself, at least a little bit.
what you’ll take home
A clearer sense of your leadership style (and where you might need some extra growth)
New tools for handling those tricky human moments with your team
Increased confidence in your own voice, values, and decisions
A few new allies who know what it’s like to lead a growing team
The delightful shock of learning something deep while having actual fun
what other questers are saying…
Participant from ‘A Quest Within’, November 2024
“A Quest Within is a unique and powerful leadership experience. You step into a character and play through a fantasy game, but it’s much more than that. It’s like living through real-life situations in real time - and you really feel it in your body. That’s what makes it so impactful.”

“Such a fun and imaginative way to grow as a leader! Highly recommend for anyone looking for something different.”
“This experience helped me step out of my usual leadership habits and try new approaches that will benefit my team.”
Let’s play!
We occasionally run public courses of Leadership Side Quest - you’ll see upcoming dates here.
We also run this privately for organisations - it’s a great way to connect with your team, have fun, spend time in nature - all while developing essential leadership skills.
We will custom-design this for you so it’s fit for your team and their needs.

You might be thinking: “This all sounds fun, but is it actually effective?”
Excellent question, wise wanderer. As it turns out, play isn’t just fun - it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for real leadership growth.
