Alan McSmith

Rewild your perspective

What happens when we step out of the boardroom and into the wild? When we trade flipcharts for fresh air, and PowerPoint for presence?

This short video is just a glimpse into the mindset behind De Grootste Heidag — a place where business meets nature, and where people reconnect with what truly matters. It’s about slowing down to speed up. About finding clarity, connection and creativity not in a spreadsheet, but under open skies.

At this year’s event, we’re proud to welcome Alan McSmith — wilderness guide, storyteller and leadership thinker. With decades of experience in the African bush, Alan brings a completely different view on leadership, awareness and resilience. His sessions are not just inspiring — they’re transformative.

The power of the wild isn’t about escaping the real world. It’s about returning to it with new eyes. Alan helps leaders and teams rediscover the value of stillness, instinct and deep listening — lessons we rarely find in our daily rush, but which are deeply needed.

Because real leadership asks for courage. The courage to pause. To face uncertainty. To lead with presence instead of control. In nature, there’s no script — only awareness, trust, and the willingness to respond to what’s in front of you. That’s the kind of leadership today’s world is asking for.

De Grootste Heidag isn’t your average off-site. It’s a place to recharge, rethink, and reconnect. With yourself, your team, and the world around you.

Curious? Join us. And experience what happens when you stop managing, and start listening — to nature, to others, and maybe even to yourself.
