There is nothing you can accumulate around you

that will fill a deficit within you.

True success is an inside-out process.

A Special Invitation

Never before have so many women been in leading roles across business and ministry. And never before have so many women reported exhaustion from the climb to their place of leadership.

The Success from the Inside Out retreat will be held September 8-11, 2024 at the luxurious, waterfront Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is designed to be an intimate gathering for women who desire to unlock and unleash their next level of potential personally, professionally, and spiritually.

As a business executive, preacher, author, and entrepreneur, I am designing this retreat to be restorative for women like me. It will feature expert voices in leadership, business, mental health, and faith to create a safe place where you can find rejuvenation, inspiration, education, and healing in an atmosphere of sisterhood.

Invest in you at Success from the Inside Out retreat!
