6 Boss Retreats to Take in 2016

 

 

 

When you’re a boss there are a lot of work trips you need to take. Jetting from east to west coast to meet with clients. Hopping on a plane last minute to close a deal. Heading a company’s campus to meet with the CEO. And while there is something to be said for being a go-getter on-the-go, giving yourself the opportunity the chance to recharge and reset while also gaining perspective from other business owners is key to keep your business moving forward. 

There is lots of value in learning and absorbing, especially when you are doing so among other entrepreneurs you admire. Besides, forging new relationships will improve your skills as a leader.  Some people even say that successful people spend 30 minutes a day improving their people skills— so why not take a few days or even a week, to work on that and more?  

The Antigua Retreat. If you’ve wanted to be treated like a senorita boss, lounging in a mansion, margarita in hand while also masterminding with “THREE 6-figure-earning business brains AND 10 other genius entrepreneur-itas,” then this is the boss week retreat for you. There are only two spots left on this retreat that takes place February 13-20th. Pack your bag, a bikini, and your boss attitude. 

Passage. Forget failed resolutions. Over 21 days - the time it takes to form new habits - this retreat will gather a group of dreamers and disrupters to live, work, and explore new ways to exist in the modern world. The programming is crafted to expand minds and the adventuring is designed to develop and nurture personal practices for the body and spirit. Prepare to evolve your notion of community and work to impact the greater good. Head to Costa Rica from January 22-February 14th and #findyourwild. 

The Boss Lady Retreat Experience is a weekend retreat in the mountains at an undisclosed location. This is an annual event that will take place in September for all boss women and those inspiring to become bosses.  At this retreat the attendees will experience the beautiful scenery from one of the best luxurious cabins. There will be motivational speakers, life coaches, romance consultants and more. They are currently planning their next event. Follow them on Facebook to keep up with the details. 

The Remember Me Retreat is a unique journey of self-discovery, self-love and appreciation for women seeking guidance in making transformations and reclaiming the woman within. The retreat takes place in tranquil Anguilla, BWI. The relaxing yet intimate retreat is composed of in-depth personal exploration, group sharing and inspirational sisterhood. The retreat encourages you to nurture your mind, body and spirit. Get your tickets for August 16-21, 2016. 

The Rad Photographers Retreat. For all you creatives with a camera, this retreat is for you. At RPR, the plan is to tap into goals, fears, insecurities and ultimately break down those intrusive walls to help other like-minded creatives grow. Gather with your peers in an intimate lodge setting, sit around a dining table with coffee and a fireplace with a glass of wine, and reinvigorate the reason you were crazy enough to become small business owners in the first place. Takes place March 9-12th in Blue Bounds, Wisconsin. 

For over 25 years, The Writer's Retreat has been providing an “intensive learning experience for small groups of serious-minded writers who are committed to improving and completing their novels for submission.” Taking place on a private Texas ranch May 12-19, 2016, you’ll participate in workshops, intensive writing, and one-on-one meetings with industry professionals.

 

 

 

 

15 Girl Boss Moments of 2015

2015 was a notoriously BIG (or notorious R.B.G., as it so were) year for females. We laughed, we cried, we banded together, we kicked some corporate ass, and we had some fun in the process. As we're gearing up to say goodbye, we tip our hats and kick off our heels to the women who owned this year. You make our future look bright. 

1. Patricia Arquette started the year off on the right fancy foot. When the actress won Best Supporting Actress at the Oscar's she took the time to address wage inequality and a rallying cry for all women. "It's our time to have wage equality once and for all," she exclaimed, which got both Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez out of their seats. 

2. Jennifer Lawrence continued the wage convo, when she penned an open-letter about the Hollywood pay gap for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter, entitled: STORIES Hollywood’s Gender Wage Gap Jennifer Lawrence Letters to Lenny Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner Get That Second Wave Style Laia Garcia How Sports Gave Me Swagger Gina Prince-Bythewood Becoming Grace Jones Doreen St. Fél

"Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co‑Stars?"

 “Are we socially conditioned to behave this way?” she wrote. Not if boss women have anything to say about it. 

3. During the Superbowl Always #LikeAGirl commercial struck a chord with the nation. And then the U.S Women’s Soccer Team showed the whole world what playing like a a girl really meant. The U.S. team defeated Japan to win the FIFA wold cup. According to some news outlets it was the most watched soccer match in the history of television— men or women. Annndd then Obama mic-dropped everyone: "This team taught all of America’s children that 'playing like a girl' means you're a badass.”

"This team taught all of America’s children that 'playing like a girl' means you're a badass.”

4. In 75 years of ABT (American Ballet Theater) there was never an African American female principle dancer. In June of 2015 Misty Copeland broke down that barrier. “I’m here to be a vessel,” she said at the April 2015 TIME 100 gala, “for these brown ballerinas who have come before me.” 

5. Adele said FU to the male gaze on the cover of Rolling Stone, and sold 3 million album copies in one week. Hello. It’s me. The boss. 

6. United we stand. 35 women banded together to fight Bill Cosby and a history of sexual assault. On the July cover of NY Magazine, 35 women sat in chairs facing the world: "I'm No Longer Afraid," they told announced. Together. One chair remained empty for all voiceless victims of sexual assault. 

7. Hillary Clinton announced her run for the 2016 Presidential bid. "I'm running for President," she said in a video that also featured a diverse group of American stories.  

8. Gloria Steinem dedicated her book, "My Life On the Road," to Dr. John Sharpe who performed her illegal abortion when she was 22 years old who made her promise him: "you will do what you want to do with your life."  

9. In March Monica Lewinsky gave a TED Talk: The Price of Shame, where the now 41 year old took back her narrative. 

"Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop." 

10. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has been known for her “incrementalism,” -- a slow-but-steady approach to feminism that really hit its stride in 2015 (thanks to the Internet and a few great memes). As an architect for the women's rights movement in the '60s and '70s, Bader Ginsberg has been fighting for gender equality for decades. The now 82-year-old is the oldest Justice on the bench, bit that's not slowing her down. 

"Now I happen to be the oldest. But John Paul Stevens didn't step down until he was 90."

11. Viola Davis became the first African-American woman to win an Emmy in the Best Actress in a drama category.  “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that simply are not there,” she told the crowd.  

12. Female-friendly, safe place on the Internet, HelloGiggles- the website founded by Sophia Rossi and Zooey Deschanel, sold to TIME Inc. this year for a reported 20 million dollars. These ladies proved that you can play nice on the Internet and win. 

13. Nepal made history when it elected its first female President. A long-running proponent of equal rights for women, Bidhya Devi Bhandari is seen as cultural shift in male-dominated Nepal politics.

14. The Pentagon announced that women can now serve in front-line ground combat positions. 

15. Saudi women not only registered to vote for the first time (in a country where they still aren't allowed to drive), but Saudi women also won a monumental 20 seats in the municipal polls. 

AND finally, our hats are off to the following female CEOs and leaders of HUGE tech companies, proving that women have broken through that glass ceiling once and for all: Marissa Mayer, CEO Yahoo!, Meg Whitman, CEO HP, Virginia Rometty, CEO IBM, Susan Wojcicki, CEO YouTube, Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook, Angela Ahrendts, Senior VP, Apple, and Ursula Burns, CEO, Xerox. 

7 Office Trends You Can Expect to See in 2016

 

2015 has been a great year for office trends. Many ditched behemoth leather chairs for standing desks (and scored chiseled leg muscles along the way), waved goodbye to real pants in favor of athleisure, and kicked off super-interesting side hustles. Now that we’re right on the verge of 2016, there’s even more to look forward to.

Some of the internet’s favorite career experts chimed in on the changes we can expect to see in the workplace throughout the next 365 days—and honestly? We’re pretty excited about what’s to come:

A SHIFT TO HEALTH-CONSCIOUS OFFICES

Companies know their employees are starting to focus on healthier lifestyles, and they plan on helping with that. “Through group wellness challenges, the workplace is becoming a bigger part of everyone’s plan to get healthy. In the coming year, employers are going to find more ways to encourage and facilitate their employees’ fitness, be it through healthier snacks in the break room or sanctioned exercise breaks,” says Heather R. Ruhman, founder and president of Come Recommended.

A GREATER USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO WORK REMOTELY 

Three cheers for working from home! In 2016, being able to do your job outside the office will become even more of a norm, and technology is to thank. “I think we’re going to see a greater adoption of video technology that allows us to work more remotely. In a recent study, the use of video conferencing and project management on apps is really low. In order for flexibility for increased remote work to happen, we have to adopt that technology,” says Cali Yost, CEO and founder of Flex + Strategy Group.

According to Yost, right now employers and their employees are mostly using email, work documents, and Excel spreadsheets to update each other, but the problem is they’re not saving those documents on a Cloud-based, easily accessible platform.

“With this inconsistency, it’s hard to collaborate. If we change the types of platforms we’re using, the way we’re communicating with each other, and the way we store our data so it’s easily accessible, remote work will succeed.”

Kimra Luna, a personal branding and online business strategist, agrees.

“Employees who work virtually is becoming even more popular—especially among startups—because it’s lower overhead and you don’t need to rent out an actual office space until the startup begins to grow,” she says.

AN INCREASE IN WORK PERKS

Employers are starting to realize if they don’t make their employees happy, someone else will. Because of this, companies continue adding offers that are hard to pass up, like unlimited vacation days and in-office happy hours. Not to mention casual workspaces that allow you to not only get your work done, but ramp up your ping pong skills. Instead of feeling like work, offices are starting to feel more like home.

A RISE IN FREELANCING 

As working remotely increases, freelancing will become even more popular in 2016 amongst twenty-somethings as well. Instead of having someone else in control, the power is shifting to the individual to make money and advance their career on their own time. “Young professionals who freelance gain more freedom and flexibility around when and where they do work—and they can protect themselves from only having one employer who could drop them in an instant,” says Dan Schawbel, Millennial career and workplace expert, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author.

A WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY TAKEOVER

With the Apple Watch and other wearable technologies at the top of everyone’s shopping list this year, it might be harder to find work-life balance in 2016. Since it’s becoming easier and easier to stay constantly connected—whether you’re on your lunch break or trying to fall asleep at night—completely shutting off could become more of a challenge. One bonus, though? With the advanced technology comes more freedom, so even if you have to take a call or respond to an email at 9 p.m., at least you won’t be sitting in a cubicle doing it.

AN INCREASE IN EMPLOYER BRANDING 

Instead of cookie-cutter offices, employers are looking for ways to show talent their workplace is a great place to be. “One of the easiest ways to do this is through office designs that are unique and show more of the company culture. We’ll see fewer white walls with beige carpet, and more workplaces that are customized to what an individual company does and that are a reflection of their core mission and values,” says Ruhman.

A FOCUS ON GIVING BACK 

Workplaces are amping up their power to give back, and employees get to come along for the ride. More companies will show their humanitarianism side by promoting feel-good challenges to raise money for charities. In fact, many will take things to the next level and adopt small non-profits of their own, creating a partnership that allows them to use their workspace as they grow.

5 Tips on Landing The Job You Want (& Then Keeping It!)

Soniya Monga is busy. After helping launch LinkedIn Canada in 2010, she was named one of Marketing’s 2013 Top 30 Under 30. Now based in New York, she's been with the networking company for five years, successfully growing her own brand within its ranks. She's now working on global agency partnerships and spent time cultivating and growing global experience based out of Hong Kong for LinkedIn North Asia. From Day 1 (which she spent grabbing office supplies) to Day RN, Soniya's professional triumphs are impressive including speaking at the internationally recognized One Young World (Davos for the cool kids). Which is why we wanted to find out from her just how to land that dream job-- because she's got know-how in spades.    

Be sure to check-in with Soniya at Create & Cultivate Dallas, where she'll be a mentor and panel moderator.

PICK WHICH GAME YOU'RE PLAYING

A big part of success is picking which game you’re playing. In the tech industry people refer to this as pivoting, but I think it can apply to careers. If your current plan or company isn’t working for you, pivot to a new one where you can win. Choose to be somewhere where you’ll be valued.

"Choose to be somewhere where you’ll be valued."

BE UN-CONFIDENT WHEN TRYING SOMETHING NEW 

Let yourself see how things become less scary through experience. When I was working at LinkedIn in Asia, doing business in Korea felt scary and was the definition of being outside of my area of comfort. I didn’t know the language, understand the cultural nuances, or frankly feel qualified to have a seat at the table. But trip after trip, the challenge became subsequently less intimidating. It taught me to always to consider your audience and who you’re talking to, and to respect that audience immensely. 

CRAFT A CAREER ACCORDING TO YOUR STRENGTHS

Growing up, I always thought that having a profession was the ultimate pinnacle of success. By calling myself a doctor, lawyer, etc., I was under the assumption that this would be most fulfilling. For some, this is true, and that’s wonderful, but I quickly realized that following passion projects, thinking about ideas and finding a way to package that into a job I love, has been most gratifying. 

DON'T BE AN IDEA STEALER OR KNOW-IT-ALL

Instead be a question asker – asking questions is simply the best way to break through, challenge yourself and the environment around you. I think the art of inquiry is often the most underrated form of expression. Whenever I've asked the most questions being new to a job, team or country, I've found it helpful in breaking barriers and learn 10x faster. Also, know-it-alls aren't fun to be around or work with - give credit wherever you can.

WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT, YOU'RE SELF-EMPLOYED

Think about picking a career where growth is dependent on the quality of your decisions – this can ensure you’re positioning yourself to over-index for skill vs. time, and can potentially generate a higher pay off. At my time at LinkedIn specifically, I’ve been fortunate enough to work in multiple “start-up like” environments, which meant doing everything from ordering envelopes to talking to CEOs of global companies in the same day. You may not be an entrepreneur in the traditional sense, but it’s important to act like one.

Whether you want to lead and build a company some day or make high impact in your current job, self-improvement is for everyone. There are clearly more than five things you can and should do to optimize for career success, however, making intentional choices throughout your career will hopefully help you land the job you want...and keep it!

 

Since 2010, Soniya Monga's career journey with LinkedIn has grown exponentially. The maven built their presence in Canada and took the helm as the company's global agency partnership lead. She was also named Marketing's Top 30 Under 30 when she was regional account director for LinkedIn, North Asia. Hear some of Soniya's best tips for building strategic partnerships and how she's been able to expand the brand internationally at her mentor session at Create & Cultivate Dallas.

C&C Classifieds: Jobs to Get You Over the Holiday Hump

It's the first of December-- one of the most expensive months of the entire year. Holiday parties mean holiday outfits. Gift exchanging means presents-- lots and lots of presents. And who can forget those New Year's Eve plans and pre-fixe dinners? Nothing comes free anymore. So for those who are still on the job hunt we have some good leads, which hopefully might lead to you ringing in 2016 with a smile. 

Why Your Digital Business Could Use Some Offline Love

You'll hear it a million times: scale. Can you build an epic audience? Does your platform have reach? Only do things that are replicable and *scalable.* And in that constant push, that repeated tech-startup infused, online platform- anchored sentiment, a massively important strategy for your brand gets overlooked: offline engagement. Real world activation. Human-to-human love. Game changer.

I spent the most crucial time of my career to date immersed in creating and growing the offline communities at Levo - a network of 30 cities averaging 7 professional development events a week globally. As an organization, we saw the way this brand came to life in rooms of a hundred or in circles of 5. We were able to be an ingredient and a catalyst in the professional success of these connections. And I got to be the woman leading the offline charge.

As my life and career transitioned away from being the chief guerrilla love fare officer at Levo and into building my own digital brand of inspiration at Maxie, I thought long and hard about why and how the same offline love I'd created at Levo should be integrated into my personal brand strategy. Here's why:

Never underestimate the power of a mighty few

Call them brand ambassadors. Call them groupies. Call them fierce supporters. Whatever you call them, they matter. And when you engage with them past the tweets and emails, you create a tether of energy that will carry your message and brand far and wide.

This can look different for any company.

At Levo it was a formalized (and kick ass) Local Leader program. For me, it's getting myself on the road and speaking as much as possible– so I can do what I do best with live audiences. For fashion lines, think creative pop up shops. And for bloggers, take a page out of my girl The College Prepster’s book who always amazes me with the time she spends with loyal fans in any city she goes - hello group coffee dates!

It's a virtuous cycle

Feel free to laugh at this sketch (TK), which was originally created on a train from the Silicon Valley to San Francisco sitting alongside a genius mentor and personal sage, Gina Bianchini of Mightybell. She was the first to demonstrate to me how what we do offline feeds into our online platforms and vice versa. When you're able to connect the two and allow them to continuously support each other, the entire brand gets bigger and bigger.

What does that look like for you?

Making sure that your engagement offline has a way of funneling back to your site.  And creating a unique digital experience for them there. My oh so bunk, solopreneur way of doing this is emails from all of my speaking events and handouts of beautifully designed collateral with special codes and unique links (and love-infused follow up emails). With a more robust tech team you can look into NFC technology, and other cool ways of tracking humans engaging with your brand.

Whatever “how” you come up with the goal is simple: nurture the connections you made in person with love, humanness, and support online.

Immediate, examinable feedback


Want to know what is resonating and what is not? Interested in knowing which of your stories affect people and which fall flat? Which products people can't keep their hands off and why? Get in a room. Ask the question. Watch their faces. Take note of their energy.

Yes, Facebook analytics, GA, counted pins and open rates are killer data to drive your business. Data, however, means shit unless paired alongside anecdotal feedback. Figure out what resonated what doesn't by getting real humans in the room and engaging with them around your business.

For me this happens in the conversations during the mentor sessions I host at Create + Cultivate (who's joining mine in Dallas??) I get to see what people are asking. What advice they write down. What their blocks are. It’s fodder, insight, and material for months of business planning.

But for you it can be as simple as having five of your most recent customers joining a google hangout with you. It could be taking your spring purse line to the table at a beach and see who stops and why. Or hosting a thank you for following me party in your backyard. It doesn't always have to be a crazy strategic business busting soirée. It can be casual. It can be accessible. It just requires your presence and obsessive curiosity into the human nature behind your market.

Hi, MONEY. 

Cold. Hard. Cash. Bigger brands have a hard time accessing audiences - especially of young professional women like many of us cater to. If you can prove that your audience is large enough, and you're tapped into them so much so that they will show up. To a dinner party. To a store opening. To a workshop. You've hit a gold mine.

"The best marketing strategy is an obsessive focus on being human." 

Twitter. 

There are so many businesses out there who would kill to be involved in your offline strategy. Big and small. Engage them and discover for yourself an entire revenue stream that can open for you through offline activation and events (ahem, no one does this better than C+C queen goddess herself, Jaclyn). 

Whatever you're doing, big or small, fashion or law, don't keep your business only in the digital sphere. Get out there. Talk to your readers and your customers. The best marketing strategy is simply an obsessive focus on being human.

Asana

It helps you craft a perfect to-do list. It also assists in managing team projects. You and your colleagues can check off tasks that are done, as well as easily see what still needs to be completed. It's effective digital teamwork. You do want to be organized, right? 

Slack

Slack is the perfect way for you to communicate with your team. You can transfer files, integrate the tools that you already use for work (like Asana, Mailchimp, Twitter, Dropbox, and Google Drive), as well as categorize conversations based on what department you’re in. With Slack, you might just (happily) say goodbye to your outdated email, and switch to the platform that makes communication and team productivity much easier, more streamlined, and more transparent.

Shake
