October 22-23, 2020
Overview:
The Dream Big Darling Leadership Retreat is a multi-day VIRTUAL experience featuring notable speakers, workshops, networking and more—all with the goal of fostering professional development and career opportunities in the wine and spirits industry. The intent is to make a difference for qualified women seeking professional direction, inspiration and insight. The retreat will be an intimate group (30-40 attendees) geared towards one on one interaction and small group activities.
The curriculum is geared toward applicants who have 5-10 years of industry experience and have been tagged as “high performers” and are interested in learning about different areas of the industry which will give them a broader perspective and allow faster advancement.
Attendees will have the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded souls from several industry aspects as well and some of the brightest minds from inside and outside of our industry. The content diversity will allow attendees to explore alternative career pathways while expanding their personal network.
The Extra’s:
Each winner will be sent an interactive kit which will bring the experience to life! Rest assured that this will not be your “normal zoom” conference, organizers have carefully crafted thought provoking and interactive activities which will enable attendees to create a deeper connection with one another and self-exploration.
