    "Andre transformed my chaotic mental garden into a serene Japanese zen garden. I'm profoundly grateful for his guidance in revitalizing my entrepreneurial journey."

    Two months ago, I was relaunching KadoKita without a clear direction. Amidst this whirlwind, Andre Rubin reached out with an offer I couldn't resist.

    Days later, we started coaching, marking the start of a transformative journey. Andre's structured approach helped me:

    • Clarifying Vision and Goals
    • Prioritizing Tasks
    • Enhancing Decision-Making based on my leadership style.

    Which led to launching Kadokita earlier than programmed!

    Is coaching for you?

    It all starts with your desire to change.

    Acknowledging that there is something in your life that you want to or need changing is the first step (for a successful coaching program). The change can be a personal issue, a relationship problem you haven’t found a solution to yet, a dilemma at work, a dream you want to pursue… anything.
    Next is deciding if you want to tackle this challenge alone or with a coach.
    If you decide to go with a coach, you will then start the coaching process. Coaching is suitable for you if you are ready to:

    take a deep look within

    find direction in life/career

    build meaningful relationships

    take responsibility for improving your life

    and do so much more!

    "Working with Andre has been a game changer. If you’re looking for clarity, I can’t recommend starting a conversation with him enough."

    Since then, it has been transformational, thanks to Andre’s approach:

    • The journey is more important than the answer.

    • Trust, both intellectual and emotional, is everything.

    • Addressing the bottlenecks in my leadership and business, I’ve seen tangible improvements.

    The hardest step is asking for help—but it’s often the one that transforms everything.

    Insightful, helpful, educational!

    "In the Heart of Leadership program, I learned what management is about, started without any clue. Learned that sometimes I need to focus on optimizing processes instead of people, which can be cheaper and more effective for the company. I learned lots of useful frameworks and systemization of management."

    DAVID CRAVEN
    Head of Engineering at Analog Labs

    The program helped me gain more clarity, shape a clear vision of where I want to go and most importantly how to get there.

    "The Heart of Leadership Program with Andre came at just the right moment for me. Through our sessions, Andre supported me in navigating a pivotal phase in my role."

    KARIN AUE
    Design Leader and Educator

    The program helped me move into a more strategic type of leading. I’ve gained significant control over my delivery. The increased visibility I can now provide to the business has built trust with the leadership team.

    "Andre shared with me leadership strategies that I wasn’t even aware of. When I put them into action, I managed to execute my vision in a short amount of time."

    DIAB MOHAMED
    Chief Data Officer

    Significantly helped me frame my thoughts in a different angle.

      Hey there! I’m Andre

      A passionate leader, world traveller, and the heart behind the Heart of Leader Retreat (more on that in a bit).

      Image

      Years ago, when I was deep in the tech world, I realised something—leadership isn’t about barking orders or being the boss. It's about empowering their team by creating an environment where they can flourish.

      I’ve had the privilege of leading and coaching teams across five continents, from startups to household names like Mindvalley and Standard Chartered Bank, so I’ve seen firsthand the transformation that happens when leaders lead with empathy and vision.

      Which is why I’m bringing together everything I’ve learned to help your team lead in a way that’s genuine, human, and incredibly effective, to transform your organisation from the inside out.

      That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to…

      More About Me

      Manish Arneja
      Image

      I’m Manish, and I’m passionate about helping leaders thrive. Not just at work, but in life.

      For over two decades, I’ve been on a journey of guiding organisations and teams through change, working in Europe and Asia as an HR leader. What I’ve learned is this: leadership isn’t about knowing all the answers; it’s about navigating challenges with resilience and empowering those around you to shine.

      As a Managing Partner with The Resilience Institute, I’ve had the privilege of training thousands of leaders from companies like Danone, PwC, Grab, Microsoft, and more. Each session is more than just sharing knowledge, it’s about connecting real-world experiences with practical tools that leaders can use right away.

      My work is rooted in the belief that sustainable performance comes from balancing ambition with well-being. That’s why I’m such a strong advocate of positive daily rituals. Whether it’s through yoga, meditation, or simply taking a moment to reflect, these practices aren’t just personal, they’re powerful tools for leadership.

      If you’re ready to grow as a leader and transform how you lead your team, I’d love to connect and share this journey with you. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to lead with resilience, purpose, and impact.

      You Might Be Wondering…

      Heart of Leader is not just a seminar or a workshop—it's a fully immersive experience. Held in the serene environment of Bali, this retreat focuses on both personal and professional growth. You'll engage in interactive sessions, personalised coaching, reflective practices, and peer learning, all designed to ensure you leave with tangible, actionable results.

      Let’s play the comparison game of how your options
      stack up against each other…

      Other Leadership Programs

      Local leadership programs often take place in the same environment where your team works daily, limiting their ability to fully disconnect and think creatively.

      The familiarity of the surroundings can prevent your leaders from gaining new perspectives and returning with fresh ideas.

      Joining Heart of Leader

      Held in the tranquil beauty of Bali, the Heart of Leader retreat removes your leadership team from the daily grind, immersing them in a setting designed for deep reflection and transformation.

      This change of environment fosters innovative thinking, team bonding, and the space needed to develop new strategies and insights that will benefit your organisation.

      Other Leadership Programs

      Traditional programs often try to cover too much in a short time, leading to information overload without practical application.

      Once the program ends, leaders often struggle to implement what they've learned, with minimal support to ensure long-term success.

      Joining Heart of Leader

      Our retreat offers a carefully curated, three-day experience that balances intensive learning with practical application, and time for reflection.

      Your leadership team will leave with actionable strategies tailored to your organisation's needs, along with continued post-retreat support to help them implement and sustain the changes.

      Other Leadership Programs

      Most local programs focus solely on professional development, often overlooking the importance of leader well-being and team dynamics.

      This can lead to burnout and missed opportunities for creating a cohesive, resilient leadership team.

      Joining Heart of Leader

      Our retreat integrates leadership development with wellness practices, ensuring your team returns energised, balanced, and united.

      Through yoga, meditation, and team-building activities, your leaders will strengthen their personal well-being and deepen their connections, driving better collaboration and performance.

      Other Leadership Programs

      Local programs may often lack the depth needed to create strong, lasting bonds within your leadership team.

      The everyday environment can limit the potential for breakthrough thinking and team cohesion.

      Joining Heart of Leader

      In Bali, your leadership team will bond over shared experiences in a setting far removed from their usual environment.

      This retreat provides a unique opportunity for your leaders to connect on a deeper level, fostering a unified approach to tackling your company’s challenges and driving its vision forward.

      Other Leadership Programs

      Local programs might seem budget-friendly, but the short-term savings often come at the expense of real, lasting change.

      This can lead to repeatedly investing in more programs as you struggle to achieve the outcomes you’re looking for, resulting in higher long-term costs without the desired impact.

      Joining Heart of Leader

      The Heart of Leader retreat is a strategic investment that delivers significant ROI by creating profound, lasting change in your leadership team.

      The immersive, comprehensive approach ensures that your leaders return with actionable strategies, strengthened team dynamics, and the skills needed to drive sustained organisational success—providing you with far greater value than any short-term savings.

      Time for some real-talk

      Let’s take a quick look at what not sending your leadership team to the Heart of Leader retreat might mean for your organisation…
      Maybe your leaders are doing okay—hitting targets, keeping things running smoothly. But let’s be honest—okay isn’t enough when you’re aiming for greatness.
      Image

      The small cracks you’ve noticed in communication, collaboration, or decision-making?

      They won’t fix themselves. Without the right tools and growth opportunities, your team may struggle to push past the barriers that are holding them back.

      Image

      So let me just say it outright—

      “The strategies that got your team here won’t be the ones that lead them to where you want to go next.”

      The leadership skills that maintain the status quo aren’t the ones that drive transformation. And sticking to what’s comfortable isn’t the path I want for your organisation.

      Image
      The Heart of Leader retreat is designed to be the catalyst that turns capable leaders into extraordinary ones.
      Image

      This isn’t just another training—it’s an immersive experience that equips your leaders with the clarity, confidence, and strategies they need to make a real difference.

      Because I know how critical leadership is to your company’s success, I’m offering an early bird discount—but spaces are limited.

      Image

      Your leaders will return from Bali, not just refreshed, but transformed—ready to inspire, innovate, and lead your team to new heights.

      This could be the turning point your company needs. Will this be the year you make it happen?


      Image
      Image
      Image
      Image
      Image

      One final thing before you go...

      I know this is a tough decision, but I want you to feel confident that whatever choice you make, it’s about what’s best for your team and your company.

      I’ve created the Heart of Leader retreat because I believe in the power of great leadership to transform entire organisations. I’ve seen how the right tools, the right environment, and the right support can turn good leaders into exceptional ones.

      If you and your leadership team choose to join us in Bali, you’ll walk away with more than just new strategies—you’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose, a stronger connection to your team, and the clarity to lead your organisation to new heights.

      Whatever you decide, know that I’m here to support you. The future you’re dreaming of is within reach, and I’m honoured that you’ve considered this opportunity.

      I hope to see you in Bali, ready to embark on this journey together!
