Co-LAB - Empowered & Activated: The Next Level Team
Co-LAB

Co-LAB isn't just a class — it's an immersive, next-level experience where owners and teams grow together.

Why "Co-LAB"?

Co-LAB (like collabs) = collaborate + lab.

  • Lab = a place for experimentation, discovery, and innovation.
  • Collaboration = a space where owners, teams, and diverse topics come together.
  • LAB also stands for Leadership, Action, Breakthroughs.

Empowered & Activated: The Next Level Team is a 3-day transformative experience that focuses on individual growth as the key to collective strength. When each team member develops clarity, confidence, and purpose, the entire team becomes more resilient, aligned, and unstoppable.

Through a dynamic mix of keynotes, journaling, meditation, and out-of-classroom adventures, participants explore their personal leadership journey using proven frameworks: Seeds of Leadership, Leadership Light, Leadership Roots, and Leadership Weather. These themes guide reflection, spark self-awareness, and translate into actionable skills that empower individuals to lead in their own spheres.

This retreat isn’t about one-size-fits-all leadership. Each participant discovers their authentic style, strengths, and mission, learning how showing up fully as themselves impacts the team’s culture, productivity, and collaboration.

Participants walk away with:

  • A stronger team, because every individual has grown stronger

  • A deeper appreciation for their own strengths and those of others

  • The tools and confidence to claim empowerment for themselves and bring their best forward

Your learning begins the moment you register! When you purchase your Co-LAB ticket, you’ll gain immediate access to the companion Strategies Academy course, Empowered and Activated, designed to continue personal and team leadership development. Your access remains active for 12 months, giving you time to revisit the material and keep building your skills long after the Co-LAB ends.
