Inner Vision Retreat
Entrepreneurs are incredible visionaries, creating solutions that shape the world. Yet, post-COVID-19, many have struggled to regain their footing, feeling stuck despite relentless effort. Often times, the real obstacle lies within—our own minds holding us back. But there’s hope. Visualization is a powerful tool to break through mental barriers and unlock new possibilities. It’s time to reclaim your inner vision and turn dreams into reality once again.
Marketing Strategy Retreat
A vital benefit to putting a well-constructed marketing plan in place: it gives your marketing team the power to say “no” to requests that have no merit. When your organization does not have a marketing plan, it’s hard to say no to the many things marketing is asked to do that don’t make sense.
The Business of Family Business Retreat
Defining the relationship between the family and the business is an essential step that family businesses must take. What can the family expect from the business?

A Business Owner Advocate
Darlene chaired the NAWBO Million Dollar Round Table Committee and was a huge asset. As one of our top-level women business owner members, she led the way in supporting numerous community projects: teen mentoring and coordinating scholarships for teen women. She is an excellent speaker and an advocate for business ownership.
Win-Win Scenarios
I can sum up my experience with Darlene in two simple yet powerful points; when she involves herself in something, she goes all in. And the second point is that she leads from a very ethical point of view. She understands both the business side as well as the people/relationship side of how to be successful. She always strives to create win-win scenarios and does this all from a values-based standpoint. We worked together as speakers and facilitators with groups of the National Association of Women Business Owners and Entrepreneurs’ Organization.
