Quick Thought — Professional Development Opportunity
Hi [Manager’s Name],
I came across a leadership experience called Women Ignite! and thought it could be a great opportunity for me — and, by extension, our team. It’s a two-day, hands-on retreat focused on helping women sharpen their skills, strengthen their networks, and create a clear plan to tackle challenges and reach their goals.
What really stood out to me is how practical it is. It dives into things like:
- Getting crystal clear on priorities to improve focus and productivity
- Strengthening skills in influence, time management, and decision-making
- Building resilience to navigate change more smoothly
- Expanding networks for fresh perspectives and new ideas
It’s designed to help participants leave with an actual game plan — not just ideas — and I know I could bring back strategies we could use right away.
In terms of ROI, this retreat focuses on real-world strategies that improve efficiency, decision-making, and collaboration — things that can directly impact productivity and team results. Plus, the networking element could open doors to new resources and connections that benefit not just me, but our broader team.
Here are the details:
- Event: Women Ignite! Leadership Retreat
- Dates: October 5-7, 2025
- Location: Lowell Inn, Stillwater, MN
- Cost: Promotion through March 31, 2025 is $1,995 and includes sessions, materials, meals, and a networking riverboat dinner cruise
One thing to note — this is a limited registration opportunity and it closes on March 31st, so if this sounds like a fit, I’d love to chat about it soon.
Thanks for considering it!
