Hi!

Have you ever taken a planning retreat, in a beautiful place, with time to think about your professional and personal goals, with great coaching support throughout the process?  And, with plenty of time to relax, eat great food, and even get some spa-type pampering, too?

I returned late last night from a delightful business planning retreat just like this.  The location for the retreat was the beautiful Casa Luna Bed and Breakfast in Tucson, Arizona.  Check out these pictures:

The retreat was with my coach and with the four other women in my Platinum Coaching Group.  Each of us received lots of personalized coaching, and time to plan our next professional steps.  We also had some great mastermind time together to share ideas and encouragement for each other.

Our schedule was great!  We met each day from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 or 6:00 p.m., to do our planning, dreaming, and coaching.  This gave us plenty of time to relax, enjoy gourmet breakfasts, and eat dinner at some delicious restaurants nearby.

My travel schedule included almost a full day before and after the retreat.  I used this time for a pampering bodywork session, lunch with a local friend, exploring the historic downtown Presidio area, visits to an art museum and gallery, and watching lots of exciting aircraft taking off from the local Air Force base.

I came home from this planning retreat feeling very refreshed, and at the same time very excited about my vision and my next steps for professional growth!

Coaching tip:  Schedule some time for yourself to have a planning retreat.  Even a half-day mini-retreat in your own town is beneficial.  You could devote two hours to dreaming, planning, and action steps, with an hour left over for a bit of relaxing spa-style pampering too.

(Just a quick note…I offer planning retreats for women leaders here in beautiful San Antonio, Texas.  When you are ready to have a retreat like this for yourself, just let me know.  We will create a retreat that is perfect for you, so you can relax, refresh, and return home with renewed zest and a great action plan to achieve your goals!)

Your relaxed and yet excited coach,

~Leslie
