How to plan an off-site retreat: Behind the scenes planning for The Junket (Episode 202)
What’s The Junket retreat? It’s a small, awesome event I’m hosting down the Gold Coast in February 2022.
After months of thinking and talking about it, I’ve decided to jump right in and host my first, ever off-site retreat!
Planning an event is, as I share in this episode, a decision-making factory on steroids. There are so many decisions, where do you start?
I share my process for designing this retreat across these topics:
Mindset
Intention/purpose
Naming your event
Validating your event: interest vs Interest
Structure
Food and drink
Crafting an invitation letter
X-factor
The C Word
Your invite to come along: Take a look at The Junket retreat invitation letter. There’s only 7 spots remaining, and I’d love to hang out with you at The Gold Coast.
