Unlock What’s Next
The Growth Project is a membership community for professionals navigating life and leadership transitions. It’s for the curious, the committed, and the courageous—those seeking growth that brings meaning, confidence, and impact aligned with their values.
This is more than a program. It’s a practice.
We draw on a blend of wisdom traditions, cutting-edge science, and a supportive community of peers to cultivate space to pause, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible. Together, we celebrate transformation as a lived experience helping you step into new chapters and create contributions that truly matter.
You’re at a Threshold
We’re Here to Help You Cross It
You’ve built a career. Gained wisdom. Collected lessons, skills, and stories.
Now you’re standing at the edge of something new—ready to evolve, but uncertain of the next step.
We created The Growth Project because growth is messy, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. We are here to help you:
-
Reconnect with what matters most
-
Clarify your direction and vision for the future
-
Leverage your personality, strengths and experience
-
Move into your next chapter with purpose and confidence

Build habits that support lasting wellbeing and growth

Why You're Stuck
-
Our brain biases keep us choosing familiar activities and environments, limiting our exposure to the people, places, and ideas that could spark real growth.
-
Echo chambers and old beliefs whisper that we already know enough — when in truth, fresh perspectives are what open new doors.
-
Relationships flourish with vulnerability, yet fear of being truly seen can keep us from the deeper connections we crave.
-
Adults rarely engage in the play, risk, and exploration that fuel creativity, courage, and discovery at any age.
-
When burnout and busyness take over, we miss the chance to pause, reflect, and uncover the opportunities waiting just below the surface.

Work we've done
As head of the Field and Operations team at Michael Kors Europe, I believe a mindful team is a productive team. Gret created an introductory wellbeing programme that educated my team on the fundamentals of wellbeing and why it matters at work – as well as in daily life. She introduced a toolkit for my busy team and shared tactics to implement them easily. I believe wellness gives my team the energy we need to be the best leaders in our field and we look forward to continuing to work with Gret and Conscious Working.
