As professional women who embody many different roles - as entrepreneurs, coaches, mothers, artists, lovers, wives, daughters, friends, and citizens - we must be true to ourselves while to some extent fulfilling the expectations of those around us. That takes a lot of energy and can absolutely drain us of our vitality unless we set aside the time to nurture ourselves, tap into sources of support and inspiration around us, and honor the core of who we truly are as unique individuals.

Our need for time out to reconnect with ourselves, reintegrate the personal with the professional, and enjoy the company of like-minded women is what inspired us to create the Authenticity Professional Women’s retreat.  

This year we explore the Seasons (time) of Transformation.  We will connect the Seasons of Transition, Transformation, Well-being, Presence, Purpose with the concept of Agility through an Interactive Platform.  Welcome to #Authenticity2019. 

The attire for the retreat is casual.  

The Retreat package includes:   

  • Continental Breakfast, Buffet Luncheon and Networking Reception
  • Interactive and Informative Workshops 
  • Swag Bag

1:10 - 2:15 pm : Season of Presence | Executive Presence -- Body Language Strategies for Success |Terri Williams 

Both verbal and non-verbal responses should reflect careful attention to Body Language. Ultimately, like every form of communication, Body Language connects people and like every language, its vocabulary must be learned. The capacity to interpret signals is critical to sustaining Executive Presence.

Far more than being a “good listener,” understanding the interwoven connections between verbal and non-verbal communications is critical. Once mastered, Body Language provides the potential to both increase influence and direct the flow of information.

This Body Language Course trains participants in its two key disciplines:

  • Managing personal signals
  • Reading other people’s non-verbal messages
