Read what women say who've been to this retreat:

“Attending this retreat allowed me to move past some issues that had been blocking me for awhile. After just three short months, I have already accomplished one very big goal that I set for myself during the retreat and am well on my way with several other goals. This is a results-oriented workshop that will make an immediate impact in your life. Kathy is an expert and truly committed to helping women achieve their life goals. This is one I'd highly recommend!” — Leslie Mock, Internet marketing entrepreneur, Austin, TX

"I've attended 3 of Kathy's retreats and have been tremendously successful in implementing her program in my business. As women, I think we don't always set aside time for ourselves, reflect on our personal goals and really focus on developing to our maximum potential. By having this retreat in October, it allows you the opportunity to lay down the groundwork for what you want to accomplish in the coming year but also look at where you have come from this year and see what can be accomplished before year end. This is also an opportunity to meet other ladies who are experiencing the same issues that you are and affords you the opportunity to openly discuss how to resolve them.” —Peggy Edge, Packaging Consultant, Edge Packaging, Plano, TX

“This was my second retreat weekend with this program and I got as much out of it this time as I did last year. Maybe even more because I knew how much success I had after my first retreat weekend.” Tracy Downing, brand partner, StoneMantel, Seminole, FL

"Thank you so much for the gift of this weekend and for bringing your energy and passion to us. I have gotten so much more out of this experience than I expected."—Minette Riordan, Ph.D., Publisher, North Texas Kids, Plano, TX

"At Kathy’s retreat I realized that for the past few years I had been carried downstream by the momentum of life, but I wasn’t really going in the direction of my dreams. I was just drifting along. It took a “time out” to wake me up and make me see I needed to regain control. Even when you are successful by others standards, you can lose sight of your dreams. At and since the retreat, Kathy provides the tools for taking action, making changes, and overcoming obstacles. She is extremely resourceful and creative, and she will help you get what you want in life."—Brenda Bonin, Mortgage Consultant, Plano, TX

“Thank you for all your awesome leadership and teaching - you really have a special gift and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to learn from you, I wish I was a sponge in the corner of your room so I could soak up all of your wisdom and knowledge....: —Brittany Allen, President and owner, 2nd Story Design, Dallas, TX


Participate in this fabulous experience designed to help you make 2009 your best year ever.
