Our leadership experience

The Wild Ideas Transformational Leadership Experience brings together young potential leaders and business executives in the peaceful Alentejo region in South Portugal for 3 days, to focus on personal transformation, self-awareness, and effective leadership.

This event is structured to create
strong connections, promote peer-to-peer learning, and build a vibrant community. Participants attend to learn about how to build trust within their teams and maximize productivity through delegation. They will delve into the importance of self-awareness as the foundation of great leadership, and how freeing themselves from daily distractions allows them to focus on higher-priority work, while creating opportunities for their teams to grow and develop.

Participants will leave with
new insights, practical tools, and lasting relationships with some of Europe's most inspiring business leaders and changemakers

Community vision 2030:
Achieving success together

A shared vision is the heartbeat of every collaboration. By 2030, Wild Ideas envisions a community that moves beyond boundaries, facilitating partnerships that bring unique experiences, perspectives and expertise and to the table.

Our vision is to build a community where
trust and delegation are essential, connecting young potential leaders with experienced business executives who empower them to grow. With a focus on roles such as Business Development Managers, Innovation Managers and Sustainability Managers we guide the next generation of leaders to make thoughtful, responsible choices for people, planet and profit.

We believe that caring for our woodlands, rivers, towns, and villages is part of caring for ourselves. Through community and respect for nature, we aim to leave a legacy of responsible leadership.

We offer an eco-friendly leadership experience while addressing the environmental impact of our travel to Portugal through a comprehensive carbon compensation strategy. This commitment is further supported by our collaboration with a CO2-negative venue featuring over two thousand trees.

The estate is powered by energy sourced from solar panels, with battery storage for evenings. Additionally, organic vegetables and fruits are either grown on-site or sourced locally, while water is drawn from a private spring and heated using solar energy.

Facilitators

Amal Whyte

Amal is the Founder of Wild Ideas. She has a background at director level in community driven events such as Hackatrain and TECH KNOW FEST, where she became known for bringing people together and creating memorable, impactful brand experiences. As an event organizer, she recognizes the importance of delegation, a skill she relied on heavily during the COVID-19 pandemic when circumstances forced her to turn a physical event, involving more than 15 sponsors, into a complete digital event within 12 hours. Drawing on her leadership experience and the invaluable support of her team, she successfully navigated this transition, ensuring that creativity and connection remained central to the event experience.

Amal is an NLP Practioner and is certified in Deep Democracy and Creative Problem Solving facilitation. She has a deep understanding of interpersonal and group dynamics.
