Escentia Leadership Journeys 

We’re often asked about the origin of our name, Escentia. It’s a Latin word meaning the process of becoming or being. In the context of leadership growth and development, it signifies standing in our power—being confident, strong, and ready to lead ourselves, our teams, and our organisations through ambiguity.

When leading with intention, we are living life from this empowered place with the confidence to stay true to our values and vision. There is freedom and there is also recognition of the vital role of self-care, which nourishes us from within – enabling sustainable growth.

This is the essence of every Escentia Leadership Journey and everything we do is based on 6 critical ingredients – the 6C framework – which we believe enable individual, team and business success. It’s also what we believe makes our approach to people and business unique.

Escentia’s 6Cs:

• Clarity Being clear on who I am, what I stand for and how I maximise my impact and influence.
• Courage Being brave to step outside of one’s comfort zone.
• Congruence Walking our talk in every aspect of life.
• Connection Understanding the power of others to expand our thinking and performance.
• Coherence Being both emotionally and mentally flexible to ensure being both effective and well.
• Compassion Caring about others and equally oneself (self-compassion)

Escentia’s unique approach combines these elements with the latest in leadership theory and outdoor experiences, wherever possible, so individuals can experience leadership in a different way and through practical application.  This leads to a greater and lasting growth experience and, crucially we have lots of fun along the way.
