Take The Lead Retreat
This week, I’m getting ready to head to NYC for the 4th Take The Lead Retreat.
This event is very meaningful and sentimental for me. I was a part of the planning committee for the previous three retreats in Seattle (2022), Chicago (2023), and Portland (2024). This year, I’d decided to step back from my planning + marketing role on the committee to focus on developing my coaching practice, with the hopes that I’d still attend as a facilitator of the retreat programming.
When you say what you hope for out loud, the universe (and TTL planning committee) conspire to support you. In this case, I will be opening and closing this year’s retreat with intention setting and gratitude and I’m so excited! also a little nervous!
One of the reasons TTL is so special to me is because I spoke on my first panel at the Chicago retreat.
That moment was a dot I connected later when deciding to pivot into Mindset Coaching.
That moment is what urged me to trust the truth that what I have to offer is valuable and needed.
My tenderness, sensitivity, struggle, healing, empathy, and gratitude came to the forefront and were embraced fully - not rejected or shamed like I’d been used to. Seen.
Not only seen, but received, acknowledged, appreciated, and celebrated.
I am so honored and grateful to be doing this work and to have the privilege of harnessing the powerful collective energy in that room and grounding us with intention to begin the retreat, and again with gratitude to conclude what I have no doubt will be an empowering moment of connection for folks - not only with each other, but with themselves as well.
Counting down the days!
