Alternative exclusive Cumbrian weekend breaks for women who choose to holiday on their own and begin a voyage of self-discovery.

A summary of the ladies presenting the weekend

Georgina Perkins and Jo Hampson are Life-Change Consultants and together they have over 45 years business experience both in the public and private sector in senior managerial roles.

Jo Hampson originally trained as a drama teacher at Durham until the late 80's and then joined the Metropolitan Police accelerated promotion scheme. She achieved the position of Area Commander with the Thames Valley Police and then completely downshifted and purchased a small business smoking food in Cumbria. Georgina and Jo proved very successful counting Harvey Nichols and Fortnum and Mason as valued customers. Jo is also an inspirational and motivational speaker at international conferences.

Georgina was also on the Police accelerated promotion scheme and subsequently provided support as a mentor to high potential officers as well as to "whistle-blowers" within the organisation. Her final role was as Detective Inspector on the Major Crime Unit before she moved to Cumbria. She has worked as a volunteer local democracy commissioner and a volunteer business mentor and is a member of the Cumbria Coaching Network.

Georgina and Jo draw on their combined wealth of experience to inspire and motivate those who may wish to get their work/life balance back into perspective and achieve a more fulfilling life for themselves. They help people "grasp life with both hands and live it" with their consultancy Stepping Off.
