WHAT IS THE BEYOND THE BUSINESS SUIT RETREAT?

The Beyond the Business Suit Retreat (PAUSE | RECHARGE | LEVEL UP) is a two day experience for high achieving women of color who are preparing to take that next major leap in life. This is not your typical women's conference. It has been intentionally designed to: * Guide attendees through a journey of personal and professional transformation. * Provide attendees with the additional tools necessary to support their journey to leveling up in their career as well as their personal life. * Help each attendee transition beyond her personal level of excellence to her ultimate level of genius. * Have attendees leave the conference with a better understanding of how to manage her life from the inside out. * Align attendees' personal and professional purpose and mission, plus have the tools to effectively fulfill that mission.


BY ATTENDING, YOU CAN EXPECT TO:

* Have a break away from the craziness of life and give yourself some focused development and self-care time * Hear from an amazing group of coaches, facilitators, subject matter experts and successful women who have all been hand-selected to pour into you and help you grow * Have breakthroughs, a-ha moments and personal transformation to re-engage with your full personal power * Connect with other like-minded, high achieving and exceptional women who want the most out of life and are willing to do the work to get there * Identify some things in your life that are not serving you -- and let them go * Walk away with actionable tasks to level up your life * Essentially, you will pause, recharge and level up by coming to this retreat! 

OUR EXPECTATIONS FROM ATTENDEES

As an attendee, we expect you to be fully present while you are at the retreat. This is NOT for women who will "phone it in" or are looking to check a box. Our team has masterfully designed an unforgettable experience for you, but it is an experience that requires each participant's commitment. We expect you to stay onsite, to attend each activity and to have the full experience so that you can walk away feeling ready to take on whatever life sends your way.

AGENDA

The Beyond the Business Suit Retreat will be an immersive and invaluable experience taking place over two action-packed days right outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

During the two-day conference, you will have many opportunities to pause, recharge and level up. This retreat is designed to lead you on a journey of transformation to make you not only a better leader, but a better person — from holistic and feminine leadership, to having a powerful presence and personal brand, to effective communicate and managing all of the many priorities in your life. 

Friday, March 15:

Overview:

Day 1 will include pausing and recharging activities, as well as immersive sessions for you to explore deep within yourself, led by our hand-selected life and executive coaches and facilitators. The day will begin with an array of optional indoor and outdoor activities to transition into "retreat mode." The retreat officially begins at lunchtime with an opening and kickoff lunch, setting the tone for the next two days. After lunch, the group will break up into smaller groups and experience a 3 hour intensive session where they will do some internal work necessary for transformation. Led by some incredible coaches and facilitators, these sessions will be aimed to go "deep" very quickly and allow for attendees to identify some things they would like to improve upon. We will reconvene after these sessions and, at night, have a fun "recharging & releasing" dance party and reception, including a DJ and an outdoor activity.

The day will start with a morning meditation and intention setting to set the tone for all attendees. Then the group will transition into a series of "leveling up" sessions with some powerful speakers, panelists and subject matter experts who will equip attendees with the tools they need to succeed while also allowing them to learn from each other.

CURATOR & VISIONARY

The Beyond the Business Suit Retreat is founded by Kailei Carr, CEO of The Asbury Group, sought-after speaker, executive coach and the host of the Beyond the Business Suit podcast.

A champion for women in leadership, Kailei has built her business around helping ambitious women show up as the best version of themselves with the ultimate mission of helping women ascend to senior leadership. Her coaching, consulting and transformational programs have helped women leaders thrive personally and professionally.

After meeting so many ambitious "superwomen" who seemed to be great on paper, but were actually frazzled and overwelmed, Kailei developed the Beyond the Business Suit Retreat. This retreat aims to provide ambitious women of color the necessary tools to help them have the lives -- including careers -- they deserve.
