I gotta tell you: My retreat in Jamaica last week was terrific! I got lots of R&R and even had time to post a Facebook video from my castle (yes, a real castle). It was incredible to be with people who frickin’ get what I’m up to and receive this beautiful level of support from fellow business owners.

Speaking of support, I’ve alluded to leadership in my newsletters, but I haven’t shared some big news: I’m co-founding a new start-up in Charlotte!

Transformational Leadership Experience (TLE) is an immersive, experiential group coaching and leadership development program that’s already happening in big cities like Chicago.

I’m partnering with one of the co-founders in DC on the Charlotte chapter, which will bring a team of highly-skilled and TLE-certified coaches/trainers to help entrepreneurs and leaders make big leaps in their businesses.

You may be wondering, “Where does this fit in to The Bold Thing?”

Here’s the deal: Through The Bold Thing, I do one-on-one coaching and in-home deep stretch yoga classes, and I love it. When I go into the home, I share my coaching/yoga package “A Bold Practice for a Busy Brain.”

When it comes to group coaching, TLE provides space to gather leaders and entrepreneurs who want to practice growing their mindsets, motivations, leadership skills and high level strategy. 

What’s so powerful is how people in TLE benefit from the collective wisdom of the group. There’s a greater level of accountability when it’s not just you and a coach: You can learn from people who may have been there and done that, saving you the pain of making the same mistakes in your own business.

Think of it this way: Comedians hone their acts in small night clubs before bringing it to their Netflix specials. At a certain point during their creative process, they can’t keep writing and saying jokes in a vacuum.

They need to start making people laugh.

They need to workshop what they’ve got, taking critiques and kudos.

For you, this leadership development platform is the testing ground for your own act.

We want leaders to build, grow and sustain successful businesses and organizations that give back to the community in a safe space once a month. 

I’m hoping this will supplement one-on-one coaching with me or another fabulous coach, all while building community. 

As we’re working to tailor the program for you, we’d love to learn more about what you’re working on and where you’d like to go with your dreams.

Your opportunity to learn more is coming up this Thursday. Sit in with TLE and see if this group program is right for you. Reach out to me and I’ll give you the super secret location info. I’d love to see you there.

If you can’t make it on Thursday, my co-founder and I are happy to schedule a one-on-one meeting or wait until we announce our next session.
