With Kelly Lucente, creator of RE-DNA®
Some of your best qualities are so familiar that you barely give yourself credit for them. We’re going to spend some time there.
Using your included RE-DNA assessment, Kelly will take you deeper into your Primary, Enhancer, and Sharpener and explain how they work together. You’ll receive a personalized Trio guide and discover your Signature Word, with time to explore what your combination reveals about the contribution you make.
With brand strategist and award-winning sales leader, Kelly Lucente
You know what you do. Explaining why someone should choose you can be harder.
Kelly will show you how to turn what you’ve learned about yourself into messaging that gives people a reason to pay attention. We’ll explore what makes an introduction memorable and how to back up claims about your strengths with examples. You’ll practice explaining your contribution in words that sound like you and help someone else understand why it matters.
With award-winning photographer, Annie Marie Lang
A photograph you’re excited to use makes updating your professional presence a whole lot easier.
Annie will guide you through an individual portrait session, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Your session includes two edited photographs. Appointments take place during the open afternoons, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the retreat.
With certified mindfulness coach, Janet Phipps
After breakfast, join Janet in the theater for a little time to yourself before the morning’s workshops.
Her guided meditation sessions offer a chance to settle in and give yourself some attention. No previous meditation experience is needed. Come comfortably dressed and let Janet guide you.
Fine art protraits with Annie Marie Lang
If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to wear a dramatic gown and a crown, Annie is bringing one.
Choose from the costumes she brings and let her guide you through a fine art portrait session. Her styling and lighting give these photographs their painterly feel. Participation is optional, but you may find dressing up is half the fun.
With international sommelier, Kristi Hughes
We’re giving dinner an evening of its own.
Chef Jen will prepare four courses, with wines selected and introduced by Kristi. You’ll hear what makes each pairing work as you enjoy the meal together. Settle in for an unhurried evening around the table. Wine served during this dinner is included.
With Fortune 500 brand strategist, Kelly Lucente
When did you last give yourself an afternoon to think about what you want?
With beautiful materials and a few prompts from Kelly, you’ll create a vision board that reflects what you want to make room for next. There’s time to explain the meaning behind your choices and hear what the other women are imagining for themselves. All materials are included, and your finished board goes home with you.
With the entire Press Pause crew
Pack something worth voting for. Your favorite pajamas are welcome, and a ridiculous onesie could give you a competitive advantage.
After dinner, we’re building ice cream sundaes and putting on music for anyone who feels like dancing. We’ll vote for the evening’s best PJs, with a special prize for the winner. Then we’ll head to the theater for an optional movie. You’re already dressed for it.
