Gloria & Kim: The Run On Sentence of Us
Once upon a time…
Okay -- more like actually, for reals…
Okay -- more like “So, this is how it happened…”
More like an inspiring back and forth of teacher-becomes-the-student and student-becomes-the-teacher and lunches and coffee dates and shared birthdays and laughter and jokes and art and inspiring stories of our parents and mentors and those who came before and the college-two-step for our kids and my business launching and her business growing and the thriving businesses of our friends filling our lungs with air and light and inspiration and then more lunches and coffees and a serendipitous meeting at a weekend workshop where we say: what if we did this, what if we did that, what if we included naps and what if we and...
“OH-MY-GOD-WHAT-IF-WE...”
…and so we did and so here we are and it’s fun and focused and freeing and fun and it’s October 28-30, 2016.
It is the very best of both of our worlds and ideas and words and exercises and love of food and coffee and need for vision and clarity and humor…
…and naps.
…and helpful checklists.
….and SUPER POWERS.

FIND YOUR VOICE
A women's writing retreat for leadership, laughter and relentless self-care.
FRIDAY - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28-30, 2016
The first step to becoming a stronger leader is to combine knowing who you are with how you work best in order to illuminate a fulfilling vision for your future.
Treat yourself to a wildly inspiring, fun and rejuvenating weekend where your personal stories collide with your personal strengths, and a well-rested, authentic, visionary leader emerges -- refreshed and ready for Monday.
WHO: Leaders, up-and-coming leaders and people who don’t even know they’re leaders yet.
WHY: In our hectic, overextended lives, it is easy to forget to take care of ourselves. What if the solution to igniting our leadership superpowers includes adding a little more time for ourselves? Acknowledging and building on our strengths? And learning how to carry those skills wherever we go? You will create a written vision for yourself as a leader so you can show up fully engaged, thriving and from a genuine place of strength. You'll create a plan to get you there.
WHAT: A three- day workshop by leadership maven, consultant and executive coach Gloria Miele, Ph.D. and master-storyteller, director and public speaking coach Kim Maxwell. Find Your Voice takes you through the process of reclaiming the experiences in your life through writing, creative reflection and practicing self-care habits, including yoga, creative movement, nappy time, field trips and delicious food with a room full of like-minded and equally inspiring and resilient women who just need a little space to step into what’s next.
We are delighted to have Kate Nash of Cosmotion Holistic Movement and Fitness Center joining us as a sponsor. She will be leading creative movement and stretching to enhance our experience.

"Find Your Voice was a career changing retreat for me. I went to the retreat looking to refine my leadership skills and discovered that I was the only thing holding me back. I was able to view myself and my career in a completely different light and receive valuable feedback and support from the other women who wanted only the best for me. Gloria and Kim guided me through a process of how to look keeper into my skills, discover even more abouut my gifts and how to share them, as well as understanding how to be true to myself as an entrepreneur and leader. This retreat was truly life changing, uplifting, empowering, and reignited my passion for new directions in my career. Thank you , Gloria and Kim!"
-Darlene M. Sturgeon, MBA, ABD
"Kim and Gloria have illuminated a whole new path for me. I was feeling stuck emotionally, spritiually, and artistically, and I didn't even know I was a leader. Now I have a plan of action, an army of support from like-minded women, and a new, sparkly sense of self."
~Katie Rae Newcomer, Writer/Actor/Leader
"I came in with a jumble of thoughts and ideas and left with a cohesive view of what's important to me and how I want to show up as a leader. I'd highly recommend this life-changing experience."
~Caryn Bosson, Director of Strategy, Tree People
"Gloria is a wonderful facilitator. She made me feel comfortable and safe sharing in a group, something that can be hard for me. I discovered things about my strengths that I hope to continue developing.”
~ Kat Armstrong, Ventura College Foundation
“Kim’s method comes from a hard-earned knowledge of who she is. She is fearless – so her students write fearlessly. Above all, she’s accepting and loving – which means her students use their writing as a path to acceptance and love. The readings of her students work are thrilling because you are watching young people grow into themselves before your very eyes.”
~ Bill Cain, Playwright & Steinberg New Play Award Winner & Terrence McNally New Play Award Winner
"Gloria meets people where they are and brings them to the next step." ~ Karen Skole, COO, Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast
“Kim brings out the very best in her students. I have met her students, and all of them share one thing; They Believe In Themselves. And every one of those students gave me hope. Good teachers are the only miracle left in American life now. They are idealists and beacons. Kim shows her students how to trust themselves, and their voices, and most of all – their potential.”
~ Jon Robin Baitz, Playwright & 2012 Pulitzer Finalist
"Gloria was a positive force at our annual staff retreat day! Her presentation was personal, energetic, fun and applicable. Gloria's positive approach, good humor and communication skills provided the perfect combination for an outstanding presentation. The information and insights she provided will definitely assist me in my approach to work-life balance." ~ Michelle Saucedo, Graduate Admission Counselor, California Lutheran University.
“Okay, so you could say that Kim is teaching theater, but she’s not.
She’s really teaching being alive."
~ Peter Bellwood, Parent & Screenwriter
