Why is this programme exactly what you need?

Our programmes are very hands-on. You will learn by doing.

This particular programme is about selecting the right people. You will therefore design your own recruitment strategy, prepare a recruitment plan and review CVs. You will lead a recruitment assessment centre and interview candidates. You will also verify references for your selected candidates and plan their probationary period.

Our programme takes into consideration  your own wellbeing.

Throughout the programme you will learn easy lifestyle hacks and practise simple techniques which will help you to stay fit, focused and balanced. These are the pre-requisites that can make all the difference in your sustainable performance as a manager.

You will have a support network for an entire year.

Not only will you receive a one-on-one coaching after the training but you will also have 1 online session per month with your tutor and other participants of the same programme to discuss your progress, ask questions and share your experience.

You will be well looked after.

Because you will work so hard, you will be treated like royalty. From transport, accommodation and food to your “not so free time” - you will enjoy a few adventures on the island of Madeira to make this programme and all what you have learnt simply unforgettable.

FAQs

Do I have to have experience in recruitment to attend this course?

No but you have to be familiar with the recruitment process and, ideally, have real opportunities to take part in interviewing candidates after attending this course.

For whom is this training intended?

This programme was designed for people who need job interviewing skills for their work - e.g. line managers who interview people alongside HR professionals, small business owners who are growing their teams or people who would like to pursue a career in recruitment.

Can anybody attend this programme?

Each applicant for the course will have an introductory video call with the course creator with the aim to assess whether or not he/she is suitable for this programme. If the applicant’s present skills and experience are not adequate, he/she will not be able to attend the programme because:

a) He/she could not get the benefits of the course and would therefore waste his/her money;

b) He/she could possibly hinder the progress of other attendees of the programme.

How many people can attend the initial retreat?

In order to ensure that we can provide each participant with sufficient individual attention, we regretfully limit enrolment to a maximum of five participants.

Is travel to the training venue included in the price?

It is not. Each attendee has to make their own travel arrangements but we will collect the attendees at the airport in Funchal, Madeira and take them back for their return flights when the programme is finished.

Where is the training taking place?

The Management Retreat will take place in the Estalagem da Ponta do Sol hotel which is situated on top of a cliff in a small town called Ponta do Sol on the south coast of Madeira. You may check the hotel at https://www.pontadosol.com/.

Part of the programme will take place in various locations on the island of Madeira.

Will I have an opportunity to explore the island?

Absolutely. Three trips to explore the beautiful island are included in the Management Retreat’s programme.

Should the attendees decide to arrive early or stay longer, we are happy to help with the arrangements.

Is the accommodation in the same hotel?

Yes, providing that you book your training at least 2 months before the start of the retreat. After this date we may need to use other hotels in the area.

Should you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@holistic-europe.com.

I can highly recommend Kamila Roberts as a trainer and lecturer, she is a highly experienced HR expert and coach who knows how to impart her knowledge skillfully and empathetically and from my first contact with her, Kamila took a lot of time to understand me as a person as well as my background and objectives. The venue in the seminar rooms of a hotel is well chosen - the location was in a picturesque hotel in Madeira in a great environment that allowed for both relaxed and focused learning.The course itself is very complex and structured in different modules. The relaxed and friendly as well as appreciative and professional learning atmosphere that is offered here is always consistent.	
Kamila always breaks up the course in the seminar room with "outdoor lessons" without losing focus - an all-round successful mix! I experienced the course as intensive training - but thanks to the modular structure, it was not overwhelming. The individual learning modules were well structured and built on each other perfectly. Thanks to the varied mix of theory and practice in both the learning content and the learning methods, Kamila manages to convey even complex topics in an understandable and sustainable way. Kamila not only focuses on the various contents and techniques (in my case, the focus was on strategic interviewing), but also addressed my individual situation for each topic. She skillfully combines theoretical knowledge, her extensive wealth of experience and analytical questioning of her participants' problems in order to develop suitable solutions together. She always takes a holistic approach to her concept. She has therefore expanded her learning content to include elements relating to physical and mental health with the help of a health coach, in my case Nicole Parsons - a great added value!
I felt understood and helped by Kamila - simply great. Kamila not only managed to introduce me to a strategic approach to the key topics, but also to motivate me to apply what I had learned, learn from it and continue to improve on a daily basis. She understood how to analyze my individual challenges and weaknesses and gave me extremely valuable practical tips and support. Kamila and Graham inspired me a lot and gave me a lot of valuable food for thought, and I came away from the course not only with many valuable insights (which you can't read in any book in the world, but have to live and experience), but also with more strength and balance, and I hope that Kamila can inspire many more people in the way she did me.

I highly recommend Holistic Europe's management retreat to everybody looking to enhance their interviewing skills. I had the privilege to witness Kamila „in action“ and was absolutely blown away by her expertise, knowledge and professionalism. Not only did I gain a lot of practical strategies that were immediately put into practice, but I also learned a lot about myself thanks to Kamila’s valuable insights. Further, I appreciated warm and friendly atmosphere that she and other instructors created – they always made sure that all the participants felt comfortable and had everything they needed. The engaging and interactive approach made the whole experience truly enjoyable. Last but not least, I cannot stress enough the venue of the training, exceptional hotel service and breathtaking views surrounding it. 
To sum up, don't miss out on this fantastic training program that promises not only professional growth but also an unforgettable experience (on the island of Madeira). Trust me, you don't want to let this opportunity slip away!

I had an opportunity to take part in Kamila's pilot programme for hiring managers "Right People in the Right Places", which was held on the beautiful island of Madeira. Even if I have a strong recruitment background from my past, I was amazed how much useful insight I got from strategic interviewing techniques. I have to say that these skills are not just useful for work, but for  interaction and communication in general. I was impressed with Kamila's depth of knowledge, her coaching skills and also with the quality of materials and support that were provided. Furthermore, I was very happy to hear that wellbeing was also part of the programme, as I think it is crucial for every professional to feel fit and healthy. At the end of the day, I felt motivated, inspired and resourceful. I would recommend working with Kamila to anybody who needs to take  their people skills to the next level.
