What did participants say about the first Women’s Executive Retreat at Dillman’s?

“It was a life-altering experience for me.”
“I would recommend the retreat 110%!”
“This was so valuable for my work and also so relaxing. I can’t remember when I felt this relaxed.”

Join us for the second annual Women’s Executive Retreat at Dillman’s Bay Resort, July 25-29, 2010. The five-day event for women leaders and entrepreneurs is sponsored by In Business magazine and Madison, Wisconsin management consultant Kathleen A. Paris, Ph.D. The aim is to provide solutions for leading in today’s challenging economic environment and to renew our physical and emotional resources.

Topics include a personal leadership assessment, update on change management tools, communications tune-up using The Clover Practice™, and organizational and personal strategic planning. Each participant will select a personal leadership problem to work on.

Cyndi Fine, B.S., C.B.W., and owner of Hands on Health, Madison, Wisconsin, will lead the group in activities for relaxation and mind-body integration. Each participant will also have the option of receiving a personal body work session with Fine.
