Join me for a time to gather in community with like-minded entrepreneurs (or those looking to make the leap!) seeking to connect and learn from one another with Mackenzie as the guide — sharing her 14 years of diverse entrepreneurial experience in a curated way to help you along your path.
We will meet in person for the retreat at The Kester Homestead on Friday, Feb. 2nd from 10am - 2pm.
The workshop will be crafted in a very casual, open way where peer discussion is encouraged (a wonderful way for us all to learn from one another). I will share my knowledge in the fields of owning and operating two businesses, strategies around hiring/staffing, vision around design and branding, payroll and bookkeeping resources — as well as specifics around opening a store, how to wholesale, sourcing information, photoshoots tips, wedding event production, event coordination, floral design and so much more (as is relevant to the group). I will offer guidance from my perspective, a business owner who may just be a little further down a path you’re interested in walking on. I can share successes, challenges, pivots and anything in between that might help you on your own journey. Each workshop will be tailored to fit the unique interests and needs of the attendees - and a brief questionnaire will go out before the workshop to learn more about what you’re looking to get out of this experience.
Workshop Timeline:
10-10:30am - We will start the morning with coffee, tea and local pastries inside The Kester Homestead with time to wander around the house and meet one another
10:30-12 - Workshop time gathered around the couch where Mackenzie will review her background and the floor will open for each person to share their business ventures. Ample time to answer questions, offer guidance and provide coaching in an intimate setting with fellow entrepreneurs or those looking to start their own businesses.
12-12:30pm - Break for lunch with local charcuterie, homemade sandwiches and other little nibbles
12:30 - 2pm - Workshop time continued, collaborative peer brainstorm sessions and open discussions with resources provided.
If you’re looking to start a business or expand an existing one to the next level - this is a safe place where we are all here to help one another cross that threshold, providing knowledge from our own unique experiences in a really digestible, easeful way!
Space will be very limited to encourage enough time for everyone to be heard (limited to a group of 4-5 attendees). More dates will open based on interest and a “one-on-one” Zoom coaching session will also be available for those interested in a personalized session with me as your guide.
