A Four-Day Reset for Leaders in the Construction Industry

Are You Holding It All Together and Ready to Stop Burning Yourself Out in the Process?

You lead through pressure, deadlines, and responsibility, whether it’s on the job, at home, and within your teams. And while grit got you this far, it’s not enough to carry you forward.

If you’re like most seasoned leaders in construction, you’ve been:

  • Running on fumes, but still holding everything together for your crew and your company
  • Burned out and bone-tired, yet unsure how (or if) you’re allowed to slow down
  • Craving clarity, connection, and a sense of purpose, but feeling too stretched to find them
  • Privately overwhelmed, wondering when you’ll ever feel like yourself again

Maybe you’re:

  • Carrying years of silent stress, with no outlet to release it
  • Finding your fuse getting shorter and your relationships stretched thin
  • Wishing you could show up for your team and your family without sacrificing yourself

Recalibrate & Rise is the leadership retreat built for the men who keep everything going, but rarely have a place to let it all go.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Tools That Work In The Real World

You’ll leave with practical, proven tools, like the Recalibrate, Retool, Re-engage system, Emotional Drainage Process, and mental fitness routines designed to work even on your toughest day.

Strength Through Reinforcement

Learn how support is not a weakness. It’s a form of wisdom. Practice giving and receiving bold feedback. Have a recovery routine.

A Calibrated Nervous System

Restore your baseline. Through movement, breath-work, and outdoor activities, you’ll rebuild emotional and physical resilience.

Brotherhood That Gets It

No hierarchy. No posturing. Just mutual respect, lived experience, and honest connection.

Clarity That Cuts Through the Noise

Recognize what no longer serves you. Regain your inner compass. Return home aligned, ready, and grounded.

Five Core Workshop Pillars

Inner Stability: Your New Baseline

  • Understand emotional, mental, and physical endurance from the inside out
  • Build nervous system resilience so you stay composed even in chaos
  • Strengthen your internal foundation like you would your job site footing

Reinforcement Is Strength

  • Reframe receiving support as tactical leadership
  • Break the belief that value equals how much you carry alone
  • Use support to create deeper relational integrity

The Drainage System: Let It Out

  • Learn the tools to purge tension to stay clear in the moment
  • Release decades of pressure you’ve never had the space to process
  • Operate with all your faculties from one job situation to the next

Recalibrate, Retool, Re-engage

  • Learn Glenn’s field-tested framework and Joy’s Emotional Intelligence tools
  • Create your personal Resilience Recovery Plan
  • Walk away with daily routines to lead from your center, not from survival mode

Somatic Alignment and Self-Awareness

  • Use your physiology as a diagnostic tool
  • Understand your stress signals to return to clarity
  • Reclaim your leadership edge that drives results
Alex Gerke

In my years of coaching, high school, junior college, Division 1, professional, and years of drilling in the construction industry, attending Joy Caffrey’s retreat was the best thing I could have done for my personal growth.

The VIP retreat was a deep dive into emotional awareness. This was facilitated by Joy, who is a knowledgeable, caring, and unique individual who has avenues to reach into your deepest thoughts that have been caged up and need to be released.

Joy is a person you can trust; a confidant, patient, genuine, TRUE person. Attending the retreat was one of the greatest experiences that I have had in my lifetime. I was able to unlock many hidden items that needed to come to the forefront. Joy was there for every bit of it. My personal experience was above and beyond expectations.

Why Companies Send Leaders Here

For companies in construction, engineering, and other field-based industries, this retreat is a direct investment in your company’s most irreplaceable resource: your leaders.

In high-stakes industries, senior leaders shoulder the emotional and operational load of keeping crews safe, projects on track, and people working together in some of the most demanding environments on earth. Over years, that constant weight can quietly drain their capacity, dull their decision-making, and erode the very culture they’ve helped build.

When leaders hit that wall, the cost is more than lost productivity. It’s the loss of mentorship for your rising talent, the slow leak of institutional knowledge, and a culture that struggles to sustain itself.

Recalibrate & Rise is where leaders regain the clarity, steadiness, and resilience that high-pressure work demands. They return to you with:

  • The ability to stay calm and decisive under pressure
  • Sharper communication and stronger relational presence on site and in the office
  • Lower burnout risk and greater emotional resilience
  • Practical tools to mentor and develop the next generation effectively
  • A renewed sense of alignment with your company’s vision and values

The payoff? Leaders who protect people, sustain performance, and deliver a return of your investment long after they’ve left the retreat. In an industry where mental health is a safety issue, this is the kind of recalibration that keeps your best people strong, engaged, and leading from the front.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who is this retreat designed for?

This retreat is specifically for senior leaders, foremen, and executives in the construction and field-based industries who have carried heavy responsibilities for years and are ready to reset, regain their energy, and lead from a place of clarity rather than burnout.

Do I have to be in construction to attend?

While our focus is on leaders in construction, the tools and practices taught apply to any high-pressure leadership role. If you resonate with the challenges of burnout, emotional strain, and needing a reset, you’re welcome to participate.

Why is the retreat limited to 12 participants?

We intentionally keep the group small to foster trust, depth, and connection. This ensures every participant receives personal attention, space to decompress, and the ability to connect meaningfully with peers facing similar challenges.

What will I walk away with?

You’ll leave with:

  • A Personalized Burnout Prevention and Recovery Strategy
    You will leave with a resilience plan customized to their role, energy demands, and leadership style. They’ll be equipped to reset without stepping away from performance.
  • Real-Time Tools to Regulate Stress, Stay Present, and Perform
    We equip your senior team with tactical, science-backed tools for emotional regulation, mental clarity, and physical recovery, so they will lead with confidence, even under pressure.
  • A Scalable Framework for Re-Engagement and Influence
    This retreat gives your leaders a repeatable model to recalibrate quickly and show up energized—not only for their work, but as vital mentors to your rising talent.
  • A Trusted Peer Network Committed to Thriving, Not Just Surviving
    Your team won’t return with a one-time high. They’ll return with a professional peer support network that sustains performance and accountability over time.
  • Measurable ROI in the Form of Focused, Energized Leadership
    Expect to see stronger decision-making, reduced disengagement, and higher team morale, because thriving leaders build thriving teams.
How is this different from other leadership retreats?

Unlike corporate seminars focused only on strategy or mindset, Recalibrate & Rise integrates somatic work, nervous system training, and real-world leadership tools. We address the human side of leadership, helping you operate from clarity and strength rather than from survival mode.

What if I can’t afford to be away from my jobsite for four days?

We designed this retreat knowing that stepping away from work is very difficult. However, our past attendees report that the time away is well worth the investment. Upon returning to the jobsite, leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and energy all improve, ultimately saving time and reducing long-term stress.

What does the tuition cover?

Your tuition includes:

  • Four days of immersive training and workshops
  • Lodging at Mount Sequoyah Retreat Center
  • All meals
  • Retreat materials and tools, including a journal
  • Follow-up integration support
Can my company pay for this?

Yes. Many participants attend as a professional development investment funded by their company. We provide documentation if needed for HR or leadership approval, highlighting ROI in reduced burnout, improved leadership, and retention benefits.

What’s a typical day like at the retreat?

Each day includes a mix of guided workshops, somatic practices (like breathwork and movement), reflective exercises, peer discussions, and time in nature. Evenings offer downtime for rest, informal connection, and integration.

Do I need prior experience with breathwork or somatic practices?

No experience is required. Everything is done with step-by-step guidance, and participation is always at your comfort level.

What should I bring?

We’ll provide a packing list prior to the retreat, but essentials include:

  • Comfortable clothing for movement and outdoor sessions
  • An open mind and willingness to engage fully
What if I’m not used to sharing personal experiences?

We create a confidential, non-judgmental environment. Participation is voluntary—share as much or as little as you’re comfortable. Most participants find that the trust built within this group makes it easy to open up. The more you engage, the more you walk away with.

What happens after the retreat?

You’ll leave with a personal action plan and tools for ongoing integration. We also offer optional follow-up coaching calls and access to a peer network to help sustain your progress.

How do I know if this retreat is right for me?
If you feel physically and emotionally drained, know you need to recharge, or want to strengthen your leadership presence without sacrificing yourself, this retreat is for you.

We do set up pre-retreat onboarding calls to discuss your expectations and ensure alignment.

Absolutely. We can provide an overview of the retreat, objectives, and benefits tailored to your internal approval process.
