Countryside & field sport experiences for teams and their clients.

We design exclusive countryside experiences for leadership teams, client entertainment, and corporate groups — from clay shooting days with performance coaching woven in, to private hunting trips for your highest performers and most valued clients. Everything is curated end to end: the venue, the instruction, the table, and the atmosphere.

We work with mixed groups, and we design for that deliberately. No bravado, no pressure, no assumption of prior experience. Whether your group has never held a gun or includes seasoned hunters — everyone leaves having had the same quality of day.


Three ways to work together

01

Client entertainment

An exclusive private day at a premium shooting estate or hunting ground. Your clients leave having experienced something genuinely uncommon — and having seen your team at its best. Curated from venue to table, with wild game dining and the full culture of the field.

02

Leadership & team development

Clay shooting paired with structured coaching sessions drawn from elite sport performance. Teams leave with sharper frameworks for focus, decision-making, and energy management — and a shared language to take back to work.

03

Incentive & rewards programmes

A private hunting trip or curated field sport day as a reward for high performers and top clients. Rare, personal, and impossible to replicate with a dinner or a gift. The kind of experience people talk about for years — and remember who made it happen.


A keynote format is also available — Marlene opens with a talk on high-performance focus and elite sport psychology, followed by a hands-on shooting experience that makes the concepts real and felt, not just heard.

The coaching philosophy: What elite sport teaches you — and what most leadership development misses — is that performance is never about effort alone. It's about the quality of your attention in the decisive moment. The field strips everything back. There's no rank, no title, no meeting agenda. There's the target, the decision, and the outcome. That clarity is exactly what makes a day in the countryside one of the most unusually effective places to have a real conversation about how people perform under pressure.

One thing at a time

Most organisations drown their people in feedback. Twelve points from a performance review. Ten corrections after a presentation. The assumption that more input equals faster improvement. It doesn't. At nine years old, Marlene's coach would ask one question before every skill: what is the one thing you want to focus on right now? Not ten things. One. That single practice built something most training programmes never do — the ability to direct your own attention precisely, and act on it. That's not a soft skill. That's the difference between a team that learns and one that just gets busier.

Tension & release

There's a moment on the high bar where you have to hold everything. Full tension, full control, maximum force. And then, a fraction of a second later, you have to let go completely. Not ease off. Let go. The athletes who can't make that switch don't make it to the top. Neither do the leaders. We've built a culture that celebrates constant output, permanent availability, relentless drive. But peak performance has never worked that way. The best performers in any field know exactly when to hold — and exactly when to release. That rhythm is learnable. And it changes everything.


The world we create

There is a culture behind all of this — and most people never get close enough to feel it.

Hunting and shooting have always been about more than the shot. They're about reading a landscape, understanding what it produces and what it needs. Learning to be still. Learning to wait. Developing a relationship with the natural world that isn't mediated by a screen or a season ticket — one that asks something of you, and gives something back in return.

The experiences we design are built inside that culture. Not as a backdrop, but as the point. Venues are chosen because they carry it — private estates, forest clearings, manor houses, highland grounds — places that have their own history with the land and know how to honour it. The table reflects where you are and what the season is offering: wild game, foraged ingredients, natural wines. The dress, the ritual, the rhythm of the day — British tweed, Alpine loden, the unhurried pace of a day that belongs entirely to the field.

Guests leave having done something real. Not a simulation of an experience, not a curated facsimile of the countryside — but a day spent genuinely inside a world that has its own rules, its own beauty, and its own way of showing you something about yourself.

That is what stays with people. That is what they talk about three years later.

Venues across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and beyond. All formats fully bespoke.

Let's talk about your team.

Every experience is designed from the ground up around your group, your goals, and your occasion. Get in touch and we'll take it from there.
