Feel free to call me on my cell if you have any questions.
Location:
Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce
201 Canterbury Ln B, Bolingbrook, IL 60440
(NOTE: This is the community building so you can park in any of the spots, unless they say "staff". There are signs that say "community building parking only" and I was confused when I first drove there so guessing others may be too.)
Dress:
Business Casual. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and portrays the image of yourself that you want for the other in attendance.
NOTE: Temperature in the room can fluctuate so it’s best to dress in layers.
Food:
Breakfast, lunch, snacks, water and coffee will be provided both days. If you’d like soda, please bring it. (There is a fridge if you need/want to bring your own food.)
NOTE: If you have food allergies, please let me know by emailing [email protected].

Agenda:
The purpose of our two days is to reflect on the good and bad of last quarter and beginning planning for the current one. This is a gift you’re giving yourself and your business by stepping outside your business once a quarter to reflect and plan. Congrats on this important step!!!
Day 1)
9:30-10 breakfast/networking
10 introductions/celebrations
10:15 masterminds
12:15 lunch
1:00 quarterly deep dive
3:15 closing
3:30-4:15 people go home, some stay and connect with fellow attendees or ask Michelle personalized questions
Day 2)
9:30-10 breakfast/networking
10 group intention/sharing
10:15-3:30 active working on your specific tasks.
This will be different for each person based on what their quarter 2 plans are. This is a chance to fully plan out your quarter 2 plans and start working on some of them. It’s also a chance to get 1:1 coaching from Michelle on some of your plans and to get feedback from others in the room (when it comes to feedback from others, I ask that you be courteous and ensure you are not taking away too much of another person’s own work time. So perhaps both of you take a break to get feedback over a quick snack or lunch then go back to working independently.)
What to bring:
Day 1) nothing special....if you have a favorite pen or note pad, bring that. Also, think of a Mastermind question...you will have 15 min to ask the others for direct support. Think about what you may want to ask. If you don’t have anything, don’t worry, you’ll think of something that day when you listen to others :)
Day 2) since this is a working day, you may want to bring things related to what you plan to work on. This may become more clear on day 1. (Ie. if one of your quarter 2 goals is to reach out to past clients, you may want to bring your past client list and phone numbers)

- If you easily get distracted by the conversations of others, be sure to bring headphones to block out the noise so you can work more effectively.
- CLICK HERE to upload documents you would like Michelle to review before the Quarterly Retreat (Keep in mind that Michelle can more effectively give you her thoughts if she is given materials to review prior to the Quarterly Retreat.)
Phones, Email and Outside Distractions:
Since this is a day to step away, we ask that you silence all phones and ignore your email for the day...it will all be there when you get back. If part of your day 2 planning involves phone calls, we ask that you step to the another area of the building and make your calls there. (There is a lunch area of the campus which is often not busy). This will ensure that others who are doing more quiet, thinking work are not disturbed.
NOTE: We do understand that even with the best laid plans life happens with our family and business and we may need to grab a call or email. By all means, do what is needed. We simply ask that your doing so does not become a distraction for the group.
Cost:
The quarterly retreat is included in the Coaching Club 2.0 program. If you have a friend who you think would love to join us, they can do so for $399 or they can join Coaching Club 2.0 for $199/mo. By joining they would get to attend the next quarterly retreat and monthly co-working days on the 2nd Fri of each month where they can continue to carry out the plans they make at the retreat and get 1:1 coaching support from my self at a discounted rate (plus feedback from others in the room!). They also would get monthly group coaching calls.
Referral Program:
I offer a referral thank you gift! When you refer a friend that becomes a client, you get 5% of their initial investment as a gift from me. Your referral gets a private session with me to enhance their program experience. You can use your 5% thank you gift for yourself, or pass it along to your friend or donate it to a charity of your choice. Learn more about the affiliate program here.
