By understanding our true motivations, challenging limiting beliefs, and stepping into a growth mindset, we gain clarity on what we want — and how to move toward it. With intentional choices and calculated risks, we can shape a more fulfilling path forward.
Together we will
Challenge and rewrite limiting beliefs that no longer serve you.
Explore what a growth mindset really looks like for women who've already "made it" but want more — or something different.
Dig deep into your true motivations and understand what success means to you now, at this stage of your career and life
Connect with like-minded, inspiring women who understand your journey and will expand your professional network for years to come.
Design your personal, actionable roadmap — next steps tailored specifically to your ambitions and circumstances.
Learn how to build and project confidence at any age, in any boardroom, or on any stage.
Enjoy a guest speaker who has totally shifted her life and can share insightful gems about that journey, including the things that went sideways and lessons learned. Let’s not pretend that even living intentionally means challenge-free changes

Helle Juhl McDermott
Founder of the Shift Retreat
Like you, I’ve worked hard, climbed the ladder, and built a career I truly love. From Customer Service Rep to Vice President of a pharma company.
The truth is that for years I evolved through competence much more than by design. I kept being promoted but it’s only in the last 10 years that I brought a new level of strategy to guiding my own career path.
Yes, I was achieving but I still wish I had more intention earlier because it accelerates the right shifts.
Now that I’ve had a good decade discovering how to navigate with intention, I want to bring that purposefulness to others.
I’ve always found myself in mentorship roles — formally, through the Nordic Chamber of Commerce and Torch, and informally, supporting the people around me as they navigate growth and transition.
During the Covid lockdown, I finally followed a long-held dream: I trained as a coach. And ever since, I’ve been imagining and quietly planning this retreat.
This is my baby — the retreat I wish I’d had access to. A small, curated space for women ready to make a shift.
Thoughtfully hosted, with beautiful surroundings, good food, and plenty of inspiration to take home.
The Shift, 2025 is the first of its kind — a pilot retreat. You’ll be joining at cost, not because the experience is “less”, but because I’d love your honest feedback.
€899 includes all workshops, accommodation, and food
and drink. Spaces are limited — intentionally so.

The Shift Agenda
Friday 8pm–Sunday 3pm
Friday
We’ll gather at Hotel FitzGerald in Prague on Friday, 24 October. Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and from 6:00 PM, I’ll be in the lobby bar to welcome you as you arrive.
At 8:00 PM, we’ll head to a nearby restaurant for our first dinner together—a relaxed evening to get to know one another and ease into the weekend.
Saturday
On Saturday, we’ll begin with breakfast at the hotel, followed by a gentle walk through beautiful Prague—around 90 minutes to move, reflect, and fully arrive.
We’ll return to the hotel late morning and spend the day in sessions, with breaks for lunch and coffee. Our Saturday workshop will wrap around 5:00 PM.
That evening, we’ll enjoy dinner at a lovely restaurant —a chance to unwind and enjoy.
Sunday
Sunday begins with breakfast at the hotel, followed by a short morning walk to ease us into the day. We return to the hotel for our second workshop session, with a lunch break at a local cafe, before we close the retreat together by 3:00 PM.
