The Business Reset gives women in business three days to step back, rethink strategy, restore energy and gain clarity on their next personal and professional chapter.

The Business Reset: Step Back To Move Forward

Business growth is often associated with doing more: pursuing new opportunities, increasing revenue, expanding a team, launching something new or moving into the next stage.

But sometimes the most strategic business decision is to step back.

That is the thinking behind The Business Reset | Mind. Body. Spirit., a three-day retreat for women in business taking place in London from Tuesday 13 to Thursday 15 October 2026.

Created by Lena Benjamin, the retreat is designed for women who recognise that sustainable growth requires more than another business plan. It requires perspective, energy, clarity and the willingness to ask better questions about what comes next.

Why a business reset matters

When a business is moving quickly, it can become difficult to distinguish between what is genuinely strategic and what is simply urgent.

A reset creates space to consider questions such as:

• Is the current business model still right for the next stage?
• Where are the strongest opportunities for growth?
• What needs to change, stop or be prioritised?
• Is the business aligned with the life and ambitions of its founder?
• What would the next chapter look like if there were space to think differently?

For established founders, entrepreneurs and women navigating professional change, these questions can be as commercially important as revenue targets and growth plans.

The Business Reset brings those questions into a deliberately different environment.

Three days. Three dimensions.

The retreat is structured around Mind. Body. Spirit., recognising that the person leading the business cannot be separated from the business itself.

DAY 1 — MIND: Strategy. Clarity. Direction.

The retreat begins in a private boardroom at Grosvenor Meeting Rooms in London Victoria, with a facilitated business strategy session led by Lena Benjamin.

The focus is on stepping away from operational demands and looking at the bigger picture: growth, opportunities, priorities, positioning, change and the next move.

It is designed to be practical, honest and commercially focused — creating space to challenge assumptions and think strategically.

DAY 2 — BODY: Movement. Energy. Connection.

Day two moves out of the boardroom and into movement, with a curated programme of physical and social activities.

Depending on the final programme, this may include a guided London park walk, group personal training and other wellbeing-focused experiences.

The objective is not fitness or performance. It is to change the environment, move the body and create the conditions for different thinking.

DAY 3 — SPIRIT: Reflection. Renewal. What’s Next?

The final day turns attention towards the person behind the business.

Through reflection, guided conversation and a specialist-led holistic experience, participants will have an opportunity to slow down and consider what they genuinely want from their next personal and professional chapter.

The programme may include experiences such as EFT/tapping, meditation, breathwork or another carefully selected holistic practice.

The retreat concludes with personal reflection and a commitment to what comes next.

Why Lena Benjamin is creating it

Lena Benjamin’s work sits at the intersection of business growth, strategy, ventures and leadership. Her experience across multiple industries and business environments has reinforced an important principle: growth is not always about accelerating.

Sometimes it is about creating enough distance from the business to see it properly.

The Business Reset brings that philosophy to life by combining strategic business thinking with movement, wellbeing and reflection.

It is also deliberately different from a conventional business conference or networking event. There are no crowded exhibition halls or packed schedules designed to maximise volume.

Instead, the retreat is intentionally small and intimate, allowing meaningful conversations, peer connection and individual reflection to sit alongside structured strategic work.

Why attend The Business Reset?

For women considering their next chapter, the value may be found in the combination of perspectives.

A founder scaling a business may need to reconsider her priorities.

An entrepreneur navigating change may need clarity before making her next investment.

A woman considering a new direction may need space to explore the possibilities without the pressure of immediately having all the answers.

And someone who has simply been operating at full speed may need to stop long enough to recognise what is no longer working.

The Business Reset is designed for all of these moments.

Participants can expect to leave with more than notes and ideas. The intention is to leave with greater clarity about the business, greater awareness of personal energy and priorities, and a clearer sense of what comes next.

Open to women in business worldwide

Although the inaugural retreat takes place in London, The Business Reset is not limited to women based in the UK.

It is designed for women in the UK or visiting from around the world who want to combine time in London with a purposeful opportunity to rethink their business and personal direction.

For those travelling from outside London, recommended accommodation options in Mayfair and Belgravia will be available. Accommodation and personal travel to and from London are not included.

The strategic value of stepping away

One of the most overlooked growth strategies is creating deliberate space for strategic thinking.

A founder does not always need another meeting, another productivity system or another list of tasks.

Sometimes she needs three days where the usual noise is reduced enough to ask:

What am I building now — and is it still what I want to build next?

That is the opportunity at the heart of The Business Reset.
