Sipping aromatic mint tea on the terrace as the setting sun slowly sinks behind gently swaying palms and architectural wonders of the world, a gentle breeze delights your senses with the scent of the Arabian coast…

…it’s the end of an amazing day spent experiencing the exotic pulse, uplifting energy, cultural delights and extravagant opulence of the legendary “City of Gold” known as Dubai.

It’s evening…and as you laugh with new friends, sharing your adventures from your walk through the gold souks (world renowned Dubai marketplace), you reminisce on your time spent dining like royalty at the Palazzo Versace followed by drinks with the most magnificent view of the Burj Al Arab whose interior is lavishly covered in 22,000 square feet of 24 Karat gold leaf!

Your gaze on the breathtaking Dubai skyline, you can hardly believe that, finally, you’re here…relaxing under the stars in the heart of the most luxurious city in the United Arab Emirates.

Oh the wonders of Dubai! So much to share with you….

This unforgettable retreat experience was specifically designed for YOU to combine the ultimate in business-building savvy with a life-expanding travel experience that you will treasure for a lifetime.

Look…you’re successful, I know. Otherwise you wouldn’t have gotten the private invitation for this retreat. But…there’s something missing lately. You’re running from meeting to meeting, conference to conference, learning, listening and yet…not loving your work and life. Because it’s all about targets, deadlines and benchmarks. Which are important. But that doesn’t leave you full. And your tank is on “empty”. Because you know…you are being called out. To LEAD. To BE COURAGEOUS. To SPEAK UP & SPEAK OUT. To ELEVATE YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

There is something about the magical energy of this city that will leave you inspired and invigorated. Getting away from the day to day doldrums, soaking up the Arabian sand and sun will leave you Refreshed, Renewed, Restored and Recalibrated! 

Revel in the fact that answering your calling in Dubai, you don’t have to:

Lug an extensive wardrobe back and forth
You won’t need to drag several different outfits and 6 pairs of shoes (she says from experience) to accommodate meetings, outings, vendor dinners, networking events and team building activities all in one trip. While Dubai is indeed a city that thrives on “beauty and the best”, we’re keeping it simple. You’ll refresh your perspective of working on your business, relaxing in the ambiance of another world. No heels required.

Run from one breakout meeting to the next so you don’t “miss anything”
There’s a place and time for learning new skills and embracing new technologies to improve your bottom line, uplevel your team and whatever business building you need to do. While you’re in Dubai, though, we’re focusing on YOU. The greatest learning you’ll do is about YOURSELF. You’ll restore your sense of who you are and why you do the work you do. 

Worry about whether you can speak your truth
In the corporate environment, it’s important to follow the “corporate speak” rules. But it can lead to sheer exhaustion having to be diplomatic and having to filter what you think and how you say it. In Dubai, in the safe circle of other extraordinary women, just like you, you can remove the filter and speak from your heart. And…you can shut off that inner voice that says “you’re not _____ enough” (You fill in the blank, whether it’s not good enough, not smart enough, not competitive enough, not brave enough or anything else.)  You’ll renew your confidence and banish any trace of “imposter syndrome” that rears its ugly head in the future.

Bring your laptop to squeeze work “in between sessions”
You’ll surely gain insights to grow your professional career while you see, do and experience new things, but not on the hectic schedule you’re accustomed to for your average business travel. We’ve built in some reflection time so you can absorb all you’re experiencing and b-r-e-a-t-h-e. You’ll be having real life adventures and at the same time enjoying real life conversations that finish with real life solutions to daily challenges as an Executive Woman in Finance. Ones that you can draw upon when you get home to support the new you who emerges as a result of your unique adventures in Dubai. You’ll recalibrate with a well-balanced agenda, rediscovering passion for what you do in work and life.

Being able to talk out what you’re dealing with back at the office in ways that leave you comfortable and confident is CRITICAL to your success, knowing you’re getting the BEST real-time feedback and real-life advice possible!

WIIFY – What’s In It for You:

So what can YOU expect if you spend 7 divine days masterminding your business success AND enjoying yourself on an exquisitely decadent adventure to Dubai? Well…what if you:

→ Got the opportunity to have profound, meaningful mastermind discussions with other women who are just like you about things that really truly matter to you, your life and your business? Things like:

• “How do you initiate real change in companies and organizations that say they want to attract women, but don’t change culture or recruiting processes to do so…And then do little to support the ones that are there?”
• “When do I need to start thinking about Succession Planning and what questions should I ask?”
• “How could I really create a 3-day work week and still have it all?”
• “Having some real talk about the benefits of women supporting each other?”
• “Where to start when exploring various avenues for women to achieve and grow in leadership roles within their companies?”
• “How do we get women to honestly and courageously keep the conversations open about their challenges whether referencing moving forward in their current situation or making a move that requires taking a leap of faith?” 

There is simply nothing like being in a room of powerful, energetic, inspiring women, talking TRUTH from their heart, imparting wisdom from their experience and sharing encouraging advice from their brilliance!

On top of all that…what if you could have:

→ Access to expert advice from decades of combined experience and expertise in the room?

→ Answers to your most hearfelt, deep rooted (sometimes secret) questions in real time, from women who understand you, your business and your specific strengths and challenges?

→ Extremely intimate encounters that will challenge and support you on your pathway to discovering your most fulfilling purpose leading to the most ah-ma-zing life and work you ever thought possible?

→ Opportunities to see yourself and your business through different eyes to remove blind spots you didn’t know you had and reveal new possibilities to strategically develop yourself, your team and your career?

→ Inspiring and transformational experiences designed to unveil the best of who you are…revealing new ideas for your business, new strategies for growth and a new approach for living full out?

→ Tastes of 24K luxuries in life as you step away to feast, play and explore during extraordinary excursions that you’ll treasure forever?
