Shownotes

In this episode, Alison dives deep into the ongoing journey of launching the Retreat Ready Roadmap program. With the program officially in motion, she takes this opportunity to analyze the first cohort's experience, sharing insights, challenges, and lessons learned thus far. This episode is an honest look at her leadership growth and the continuous evolution of the program, as she adapts, based on participant feedback and engagement.

Throughout the episode, Alison explores how crucial it is to meet participants where they are in their understanding of retreat planning. The subjects being tackled—everything from the retreat promise to legalities—are multidimensional, and that effective teaching requires meeting varying levels of experience among participants. Assessing the program's early outcomes, Alison shares key takeaways regarding the dynamics of participant engagement and material absorption.

Looking ahead, they'll delve into topics such as marketing strategies and establishing affiliate relationships, further enriching the participants' toolkit. Alison's overarching goal remains to provide a program that balances comprehensive, structured learning while allowing for personal connection and tailored guidance. She firmly believe that retreats can offer incredible opportunities for growth within the health and wellness industry.

For anyone contemplating retreats, now is the perfect time to think ahead. If the Retreat Ready Roadmap interests you, join the waitlist for the next cohort launching later this year.
