WHAT WE DO
While pressure can help people thrive professionally, it can be harmful when left unchecked.
Diminishing presence, lack of purpose, loss of clarity, and a drop in performance can all occur. Not only do these create barriers to fulfilment, but they can risk the foundation that success is built upon.
At Woodlark, we coach highly successful professionals, ambitious teams, and U/HNWIs operating under excessive pressure to overcome the psychological hurdles caused by their unique circumstances.
Harnessing a desire for change, we realign entrenched thinking through challenge-based programmes, taking our clients out of their environment and beyond their comfort zone.
Through authentic mentorship with our world-leading coaches, they can avoid potential overwhelm, shape their next chapter, and create lasting fulfilment.
WHAT MAKES WOODLARK DIFFERENT
1. BALANCING LUXURY WITH CHALLENGE
While we offer the epitome of luxury, we also push our clients beyond their comfort zones. Within raw, isolated, and remote locations, our clients discover who they truly are and what is holding them back.
2. EXTRAORDINARY COACHES
Our coaches aren’t just experts; they’re legends. From special forces leaders to world-record-holding adventurers, they bring a wealth of real-life experience and unparalleled knowledge to the challenges our clients face.
3. HARNESSING THE UNKNOWN
Anticipation is a potent catalyst for change. We create a heightened sense of excitement and anticipation making our clients more receptive, more engaged, and more open to profound shifts in performance.
We pride ourselves on being ultra-discreet. We never share the names of our clients and we operate at exclusive, often hidden locations across the globe.

Woodlark has curated an exclusive and trusted collective of coaches, mentors and experts who have faced challenges most can only imagine. From covert intelligence operators and fighter pilots, to transworld explorers and olympic champions; their experience is your path forward.
ARE WE RIGHT FOR YOU?
Performance is a spectrum. Our client's situation dictates our focus and delivery. On a scale of 1 to 10, where is your performance and wellbeing right now?
Don't be surprised if you relate to some or even ALL of these points.
1 - 3
"MY WORLD IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE"
You’re not alone. First, we need to identify and target the trauma inside you. Then we build trust and security. Only then can you have the mindset to decide your path forward.
2 - 4
"I'M STUCK AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN"
Clarity and vision are everything. Our coaches have been there before. They know how to not just create a plan, but give you the tools and the belief to see it through.
3 - 5
"MY HEAD IS ABOVE THE WATER... JUST"
Resilience doesn’t just help you deal with a crisis, but makes you comfortable in the face of one. We will show you the process to get you back in control and prevent the overwhelm.
6 - 7
"THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY"
There is. Often the changes you need are slight and simple. We find the psychological hurdles holding you back, and challenge you to think differently to find your new way.
8 - 10
"I'M LOOKING FOR THAT NEW EDGE"
Only by challenging your self-perceptions can you grow. Our team know exactly how and when to push you and break through those thresholds. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
EXAMPLE CASE STUDIES
HOW OUR PROGRAMMES WORK
Each programme is meticulously designed and executed depending on our client's unique requirements and circumstances.
Here are some elements we always look to include.
BUILD TRUST
Before working closely together, you will meet 1-on-1 with our coaches in one of our discreet and exclusive locations. Here, we will listen and fully understand who you truly are and what you need.
BLISSFUL ISOLATION
Every few weeks, we will take you out of your environment and go somewhere secluded, inspiring, and with space to learn and grow. Sometimes the setting will be harsh, sometimes luxurious - but always purposeful.
CHALLENGE TO GROW
The best way to learn is to be challenged. Using cutting edge learning platforms, we will expose you to your true self where you will discover new levels of ability, resilience, and leadership.
CONSTANT SUPPORT
In between our excursions away we will monitor and support your transformation back in the real world. By building upon what you learn, you will be prepared for the next stage.
STRONGER TOGETHER
We can work with individuals, but experience shows that you learn more and have better results when in a small group of like-minded and trusted peers.
WHAT'S NEXT?
We work with a very select group of clients and run a limited number of programmes a year.
If you would like to discover how we may be able to work together, you will need to speak to our entry team. This quick conversation is designed to find out what you’re looking for, if we’re a good fit, and to pass you on to the best coach.
