Are you looking for ways to grow and develop, both personally and professionally, and take your leadership skills to the next level?
Then our upcoming 2nd annual Leadership Retreat is perfect for you.
As leaders, we need to know ourselves, our strengths, weaknesses, and limitations before we can grow and develop ourselves effectively.
During our retreat, we will use the “mountain” analogy to help you identify the obstacles that may be hindering your progress, and explore the elements of a necessary mindset to develop the resilience required to move and overcome them. The “Move Your Mountains” curriculum was developed by Jessica Janniere, a nationally recognized adversity expert and certified leadership speaker, trainer and coach.
You will learn about the laws of growth by world renowned leadership expert, John C. Maxwell’s “The 15 Laws Invaluable of Growth” which will enable you to strategically develop your skills, improve your performance, and increase your impact as a leader. By consistently applying these laws, you can make progress towards your goals and achieve significant growth and transformation in your personal and professional life.
This retreat is also an opportunity for you to invest in your health and wellness. Our program was intentionally designed to eliminate the hidden stressors that can hold you back in your career and beyond. After 2.5 days, you'll leave feeling rested, joyful, empowered and equipped to move the mountains in your life, and take your leadership skills to the next level.
We hope you'll join us for this powerful, reflective, and engaging professional development experience.
It is an experience.

About The Training Curriculum
Here are the mountains you will discover and the laws of growth to conquer them:
The Mountain of Murkiness
When we lack clarity, frustration builds up. We become functional, stuck in routines, lacking the enthusiasm and joy we once experienced in our career and work. In this session, we explore why murkiness becomes an obstacle that hinders us from moving forward. We also address specific strategies to inspire clarity and vision for our personal and professional goals.
The Law of Awareness
The Law of Awareness teaches that awareness is the foundation of growth, and to grow, we need to recognize where we currently are and where we want to be. By being aware of our current state, we can take the necessary steps to achieve our goals. Applying this law is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process. We need to continually assess ourselves and our progress, be open to feedback, and adjust our course accordingly.
The Mountain of Fear
Fear is one of the biggest things that hold people back.Fear is a real thing. But it can also be an illusion. Knowing when fear is valid and when it’s false is imperative to overcoming it. In this session we identify the top types of fear that keep us stuck while learning specific strategies to move beyond fear. Success is attainable despite feelings of fear we may experience. This session teaches specific and practical ways to feel the fear and “do it anyway.”
The Law of Reflection
Reflection turns experience into insight. The law of reflection encourages individuals to take time to intentionally reflect on their experiences, thoughts, and actions in order to gain insight, learn from mistakes, and make positive changes. By reflecting on our successes and failures, we can identify patterns, gain new perspectives, and become more self-aware. This, in turn, helps us to grow and develop as individuals and leaders, and to achieve our full potential.
The Mountain of Self-Sabotage
It is a painful thing when we recognize barriers others place before us to try and hold us back from success. But have you ever thought that you could be creating your own barriers? That’s what self-sabotage is. It is very subtle and difficult to recognize sabotaging behavior patterns. Learn how to identify them and finally break the cycle so you can get out of your own way and experience the success you deserve.
The Law of The Rubber Band
The power of this law lies in the fact that, just like a rubber band, we must be stretched in order to grow. When we stretch ourselves, we may experience discomfort, uncertainty, and even pain, but this is necessary in order to expand our abilities and reach new heights of success. By embracing the Law of the Rubber Band, we can learn to take risks, challenge ourselves, and push beyond our comfort zones to achieve greater growth and success in all areas of life.
The Mountain of Unforgiveness
At some point, if we live long enough, someone is going to hurt us and/or offend us. Even if it's unintentional. Their behavior can leave us feeling resentful and bitter. We then carry this unseen weight that becomes a mountain. It holds us back from connection with ourselves and others. We become guarded and worrisome and in an attempt to “protect” ourselves we miss out on some of life’s greatest opportunities. This session will ignite healing that will improve the quality of your life indefinitely.
The Law of Pain
According to this law, pain can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and development, as it can inspire us to make changes, learn from mistakes, and develop resilience. The power of this law lies in its ability to transform our pain into purpose, and to help us find meaning in difficult experiences. By embracing the Law of Pain, we can learn to view our struggles as opportunities for growth, and to develop the mindset and skills necessary to overcome adversity and achieve our goals.
The Mountain of Regret
When we look back at our past, most of us, if we’re honest, can say that we live with some regret. Failures, mistakes and misfortunes can take a toll on our self-confidence. They can also become the mountain that makes us feel defeated by past choices and experiences. We can learn to reframe regret into something empowering and beneficial, to build upon as we look forward to better days.
The Law of Curiosity
Great leaders the importance of fostering a sense of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge in order to achieve personal and professional growth. According to this law, curiosity can be a powerful force for change and innovation, as it encourages us to ask questions, seek out new ideas, and challenge the status quo. By embracing the Law of Curiosity, we can develop a mindset of continuous learning and growth, and cultivate the skills necessary to adapt to changing circumstances and thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
