Personal formation
for life at the hilltop

You’ve reached the hilltop. Maybe inherited high responsibility or finally achieved that dream.

Now what?

The visible work and hidden traps at the hilltop can’t be navigated with modern thinking alone.

You need the wisdom and experience that has quietly guided people like you for a thousand years.

So you flourish instead of flounder.

For you, your family, and your legacy.

What hopes and challenges do you face?

“Our personalised, one-to-one support is for people who recognise the need for a dual journey: professional expertise and personal formation.

We are here for the second of those.

But if you’re looking for the familiar ‘leadership development’, that isn’t us. We don’t think any influential historical character would opt for it. It lacks depth and bite. Would Washington? King? Ali? Charlemagne?

So we offer not only what we think they would, but what they did. Split it across three areas of focus, depending on your preference.”

John Featherby, Shoremount Founder

What challenge
do you face?

Who do you want
to become in it?

  • "To have someone to whom I may speak freely, without pretence, is a treasure beyond gold - rulers are starved of it."

    Marcus Aurelius

  • "The higher you climb, the fewer people you can trust to hear the truth - find that one voice, and it’s worth more than gold."

    Howard Schultz

  • "I don’t want to be remembered for what I had. I want to be remembered for who I was."

    Morgan Freeman

  • "You need people around you who don’t care about your money, only about the kind of person you are becoming.”

    Denzel Washington

  • "Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation."

    Augustine
