Prices will include lodging, food and materials
The intention of the “I’m Worth It!” weekend retreat is create a vessel of sacred space so that you can take a breather (literally!) to get grounded, connect with others and most importantly, connect with yourself. What if you take some time to breathe in nature and focus on what matters to you? And while we are at it we might have just a little fun along the way and PLAY!
Together through illuminating experiences we will learn to:
- Build trust through connection and give ourselves permission to be MESSY! Imperfection is perfect and fun!
- Have courageous conversations about our strengths and values to cultivate resilience to our inner and outer critics
- Bolster our empathy channel, model compassion and practice vulnerability
- Bring forward our creativity, tap into innovation and allow ourselves to show up in a powerful way
This weekend retreat will nurture your desire to play big and be brave. Being courageous and playing big while also being vulnerable allows us to lead more authentic and wholehearted lives. Grounded by a sense of purpose and guided by a resilient spirit we will be transformed as women and as leaders.

More Detials and Registration Coming Soon!
In this “playshop” we will be exploring intentions for clarity to create a goal(s) using the S.M.A.R.T. methodology (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely). When you register, you will be sent an Intentions Inventory to assess what gives you meaning and purpose relevant today. No rinky dinky goals. Are you willing to stretch and play bigger? It is recommended that you complete the Intentions Inventory before the event and bring along with you to the playshop. An overview of S.M.A.R.T method will also be sent along with other information you may need for this event.
After introductions, a visioning session will guide you in creating a professional or a personal goal. You will be guided by Coach Darla using the Lights On! Coaching Method along with support and feedback from your team. Participants will also have the opportunity to observe and practice “lights on” feedback guided by Coach Darla. After the group is coached and goals are determined we will chow down on some lunch and have conversation. YUM!
After lunch, we will get “messy” and have some fun! You will begin creating your vision map with the collaboration of Coach Darla and the other participants. During our time together, some maps will be completed and some may not. That’s okay. Some of you will be finishing up on your own time.
In our wrap up, we will have a round of show and tell where we will provide and receive acknowledgement. Applause! Applause! And in closing, with the support and energy of our group, we will step into our vision and begin our journey into the New Year. You will be “assigned” a buddy from the group to stay in touch with to provide support for each other for a time determined by the Buddy Duets. SUPPORT IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO REACHING GOALS.
*NOTE: A follow up coaching call with Coach Darla is included in this playshop.
FAQs
Q: Do I need to bring anything with me for this playshop?
A: Bring YOU, ideas for goals, a willingness to stretch yourself – “no rinky dinky”! Be prepared to dial up the FUN channel. Bring along a yoga mat if you have one. We may be on the floor doing our vision mapping. My wood floors are pretty clean but you know…
Q: What else?
A: Don’t forget to bring the Intentions Inventory and review the S.M.A.R.T info. If you don’t bring this stuff the world doesn’t blow up. I have it handled.
Q: Where do I start? I don’t know what goals I want.
A: I get it. We all are in that place sometimes. It’s just destiny amnesia. I would suggest you begin to think about the domains of life. Community, home, family, relationships, business/ work… You can pick a professional or personal goal. Your intentions will give you some clarity and they will anchor your goal. When you think of one, think about how you can play bigger with the goal. Take it to the edge. Got nothing? Don’t worry. I’ve got your back.
Q: Are you sure?
A: Well, I am not a full blown office supply but all of the materials for your vision mapping will be available. You may want to bring a note pad and pen if I don’t have what you want in stock.
Q: Can we invite a friend?
A: Of course! Bring a friend. Bring two.
Q: I am a bit shy in groups – I might be intimidated to share.
A: That’s okay! I’m shy too (just kidding). Seriously, a lot of people are shy. I have a knack for creating a space of compassion, comfort and FUN . Ask anybody. You will get a lot of support and “lights on” from your teammates and your coach. Hard to be shy in my groups.
Q: How big is the group?
A: A small, intimate group with our time frame and space. Grab your spot.
Q: I am an executive client. Is this playshop complimentary? Including the food?
A: Yes and yes. If you are a current executive client this playshop is available to you as part of your series. And lunch is included.
Q: Can I use my coaching hours for a friend or colleague?
A: Absolutely. What a special gift for a friend. And a powerful partnering occurs when working together on goals.
Q: What do I wear?
A: You can come any way you want – except naked. That’s another class. I would suggest dressing comfortably and casually. And remember, some of us may be working on the floor with our maps. I have just so much table space in my little casa.
Q: What kind of food will you have?
A: Good food. If you have any special dietary needs please let me know.
Q: Will you have any more of these “playshops”? What if I need to do more work on my goal or vision map or want to work on some other goals?
A: TBA

Unlock Your Authentic Brilliance:
Unleash Your Leadership Power and Get the Results You Want!
$127.00
Includes refreshments, lunch, materials and fun!
Leadership and business success is often determined by the success of our professional and personal relationships – with others and ourselves.
HOW we interact with others and HOW we see ourselves can make or break our leadership power. Showing up as your big, powerful, authentic self can make a real difference in your world and the world of others.
Whether you are the leader of your business, managing a team, running a crazy household or whether you are business owner, entrepreneur or CEO who drives carpool, challenges abound:
- You don’t stand out as the leader you desire to be and not taken seriously
- Your marketing does not attract your ideal client or the career you want
- Your time and contribution is not valued or acknowledged
- Primo projects and desired contracts are not landing in your inbox
- Fear sets in at the mere thought of asking for that promotion or contract
- Anxious and uncertain of your next steps
Today, status quo and hype no longer flies. Getting to the top of the heap and standing out from the pack demands that we step it up in an authentic way – powerfully and courageously.
In this highly creative workshop you will cultivate and zone in on the qualities that work for you and that have you shine as a leader. In effect, you will discover your personal, authentic brand so that you can create a strong and powerful “self marketing campaign” that gets the results you want in your personal and professional relationships. You will:
- Gain confidence in your leadership skills and shine as a leader
- Attract ideal clients and the career you want
- Be taken seriously and acknowledged and valued for your contributions
- Get the top assignments and projects you want
- Have awareness of the challenges that take you out of your game
- Stand in your power and be recognized as a great leader by your peers
It’s all about how you show up. Courageous, authentic leadership gets powerful results!
When you register you will receive a questionnaire (Branding With ArchetypesTM) that we will use in the workshop and also a complimentary Life / Organizational Intentions Inventory as a “thank you”.
Coach Darla believes that authenticity and uniqueness are gifts that can be leveraged in our world to get the results we want and gives us the permission to have a lot more fun…no matter what. Core values, integrity standards and discovering your unique strengths are foundational to all of her programs and courageous conversations with her clients. This workshop will be insightful, creative and full of fun…also a foundation to her coaching.
