SMART HR Event & David Lederman
presents
21th -24th of August @ Transylvanian Inn
In times of constant change and complexity, leadership is no longer about control—it’s about presence. This retreat is designed as a living laboratory: a brave, safe, and expansive space where your body, emotions, and intuition become central to your leadership evolution.
Combining principles from the Zone of Fulfillment and trauma-sensitive facilitation, this experience helps you shift from reactive performance to regenerative leadership—centered, clear, and deeply embodied.
• Founder of the Zone of Fulfillment framework – a path to real-time vitality, clarity, and meaningful impact
• Former tech leader turned leadership guide, integrating neuroscience, sports psychology, and experiential leadership practices
• International facilitator and author of “Trust Life?”, known for unlocking breakthrough growth with Fortune 500 leaders and startup founders alike
• TEDx speaker and co-founder of "Centrul Origin" - a hub for therapy, personal development and well-being in Sibiu, Romania
David creates experiences that go beyond insight—he guides you into the felt experience of alignment, clarity, and authentic influence.
• Somatic therapist and trauma educator with 15+ years in the medical and wellness field, specializing in compliance, patient experience, and embodied care

Powerful closing ritual.
This is not a training.
It’s not a conference.
It’s a transformational immersion where:
• Your body becomes your compass
• Your inner voice becomes audible
• Your emotional resilience becomes strength, not a liability
• Your vision and identity as a leader are redefined
With a trauma-sensitive foundation, every session respects personal agency, emotional pacing, and psychological safety—ensuring deep work unfolds with care, not pressure.
• A powerful map of your Zone of Fulfillment
• Tools to exit the Misalignment Loop in real-time
• A renewed sense of vitality and emotional spaciousness
• Meaningful connection with other visionary leaders from Romania and Europe
• A personalized action plan to sustain growth and integration
• A deeper capacity to lead with presence, trust, and purpose
Whether you're a CEO, founder, C-level executive, or senior change-maker, this space is crafted for you.

This retreat is not just a pause — it’s a recalibration.
Come home to your body, your vision, and your voice as a leader.
Together, we’ll unlock what extraordinary leadership looks like when it’s rooted in presence, truth, and vitality.
with David Lederman
“The future belongs to leaders who can quiet the noise,
feel what’s real, and create from that place.
This retreat is your space to become that leader.”
