Join us in Indianapolis August 17-19, 2023 - and Ignite Innovation.
FEATURING an EXCLUSIVE INTERACTIVE SESSION with a CELEBRITY GUEST
We've all had those times of discovery, where we know exactly what to do and how to do it. Have you been there? A moment of genius! Wouldn't it be great if you knew how to show up at your best, even when circumstances are at their worst? What would that mean to you, to your team - and to your organization?
When you get out of your own way, you access an authentic approach to life that opens up new opportunities. Beyond "that's just how I am" and "that's the way we've always done things" is a world of possibility - if you choose to see it. Adaptability and resourcefulness are part of our human nature - it's built into who we are. So, how do we access new resourcefulness? Innovation is the key. We all have the capacity for new ideas, and new innovation. What if you gave yourself permission to see things in a new way? Maybe you're facing some challenges right now. If you're here, it must be time to turn change into powerful progress.
Ignite Innovation is a three-day retreat, happening in Indianapolis on August 17-19, 2023.
We all have the ability to innovate.When you are surrounded by people who are focused on your success, you realize that you don't have to go it alone. You uncover what's been missing. You step into possibility - and into your potential. And in the middle of difficult circumstances, difficult career challenges, difficult people and difficult choices...things get easier. Even when (and especially when) life isn't easy.
Ignite Innovation and discover success on your own terms. Why not?
Ignite Innovation - August 17-19, 2023. You will connect within a community - and discover....
- Greater resilience and resourcefulness
- How to escape perfection and trying to "get it right" - and get to what works, instead
- Access Authenticity: Understanding that what you do comes from who you are
- Gain insight into the simple misunderstanding that holds us all back - access greater compassion & acceptance
- A new community that's focused on new ideas, new accountability and new results - so you can win

A return to a natural state is key to helping ignite innovation, and exploring the park is part of the journey that's available to you.
