A mastermind designed around your needs

Where could you most use outside expertise and eyes in your business right now?

Answer that question when you register and we’ll use your responses to provide customized learning and support in one of four key business areas.

Finances

Cash flow, budgeting, tracking & reviewing - leap over 7-figure mark or towards the multi-seven figure mark.

Operations

Processes and systems that are actually utilized on the daily by you and your teams to scale with ease.

Hiring & Retention

Fixing the issues preventing you from building, developing, and keeping the team that you need.

Sales & Marketing

Building repeatable, scalable, reliable marketing and sales for growth and stability.

Virtual warm-up sessions leading up to our event will allow you to create a safe space with other participants while separating the “easy to complain about” from the true core of your challenges. On the big day you’ll come together in small groups with expert facilitators and trainers to determine the actions you’ll take for keeping your challenge area healthy.

Schedule

Define “schedule” however you like. You can come to all the activities or just a few, we trust your intuition to tell you what’s right - likewise, we reserve the right to change our itinerary or to take possession of your favorite sunglasses without notice.

Oct. 13, 9:30am MT - 1pm MT

Day 1, Part I:
Climbing
Collectively

 

Receive expert education, peer support, and the deep diving and ideation you need to create an action plan for overcoming your most pressing challenges.

Day 1 Part 1

Here’s how we’ll do it:

  • Determine your focus and the exact knowledge you need during our virtual warm-up sessions
  • Learn from leaders of $1M+ companies - experts who are actively engaged in their fields
  • Ideate and brainstorm in small groups - tackle your challenge from multiple angles 
  • Walk away with a repeatable plan to gain and maintain the health in the areas your company will benefit from most

Oct. 13, 3pm MT - 9pm MT

Day 1, Part II: Compelling
Clarity

 

Day one will take you from feeling foggy about your big picture, to communicating your vision in a way that your partners truly connect with and regularly act upon.

Here’s how we’ll do it:

  • Fun, connection and depth - yup, we’ve booked comedians!
  • Pinpoint the most important elements of your big vision AND translate your vision into a meaningful, actionable plan
  • Shine on light how you hold yourself back and break through them to increase your impact
  • Lessons and exercises in transformational and visual storytelling - get immediate feedback on your vision
  • “Better Together” Dinner - discover your commonalities, all while enjoying a thoughtfully curated dinner experience (dinner is included with your ticket)
  • Then, continue the party by dancing the night away with your fellow Dames

Oct. 14, 7am MT - 5pm MT

Day 2:
Captivating
Collaborations

 

Go from merely “chipping away” at relationships, to rapidly deepening them (with any personality type) through low-stress systems for staying in touch.

Here’s how we’ll do it:

  • Stretch it out at morning yoga
  • 4 Power Partner Archetypes - quickly identify needs and get the results you’re looking for from these long-term relationships 
  • Create a customized plan, process, and system for nurturing and maintaining your relationships that also ensures that you make measurable progress toward your goals
  • Learn methods for setting/receiving boundaries, making big asks, and supporting each other
  • Lunch is provided and there will be an optional "Trusting Your Intuition to Develop Safe Relationships" activity

Oct. 15, Morning

Day 3:
Carefree Connection

 

We encourage you to stay in town through the 15th. You will have two additional unstructured opportunities to connect with your fellow Dames.

Choose between:

  • Hike at Matthews Winters Park (an easy hike for all levels)
  • Hang out with your fellow Dames to spend more quality time together

Should you attend?

This event is for you if you're...

✅ Repeatedly baffled by the same challenge area, despite being smart, capable, and so very talented.
✅ Looking for thought partnerships with other Dames at the mid-six and seven figure level.
✅ Teetering between feeling reluctant to ask for help OR wondering if you’re being way too demanding.
✅ Desiring to increase the abundance of your organization and your bottom line.
✅ Wanting to get outside of your “bubble” because you’ve been meeting too many people just like you.

Wait until next time if you...

✋Need a “magic pill” or believe it’s possible to solve all of your problems in ½ day (‘cuz no mastermind is THAT good!)
✋Haven’t yet completed the basics of our Power Partner System. 
✋Are unsure if  you're ready for rapid growth. We believe in doing this work only when the time is right!
✋Feel desperate for leads and that’s the only reason you’re building power partnerships - not our zone!
✋Are in a place where you’re closed off energetically (which is okay - we’ll see you when you’re feeling open).
