Group Retreats are a great way to work with others from different backgrounds and from different parts of the country to get some of the best training available. You will be able to share ideas with other participants, and come away from the weekend with a solid foundation of what you need to do to have your business be a success. Not only will you gain the insights from the other participants, but also from your instructor and mentor for the weekend, Chris Coltran. He will teach you why your personal brand is essential to your success and how to create your own Convergent Brand. Over the four day retreat, you will cover all the topics below and everything important in between.

Retreat to the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, just 60 miles north of Atlanta. Barnsley Gardens Resort welcomes you into a beautiful setting of incomparable service. Encompassing 1,400 landscaped acres, Barnsley Gardens feels more like an intimate residence than a resort. There is sublime dining to enjoy, and charming accommodations set within cozy cottages. Renowned recreational choices include world-class golf, wingshooting and fly-fishing schools, and horseback riding along scenic trails. Meander through 160-year-old gardens featuring hundreds of varieties of heirloom roses, or enjoy some kayaking on the lake. Barnsley Gardens is the perfect place to shut out the rest of the world so you can focus 100% on yourself.

Take a look at what you will learn and accomplish during the weekend.

Day 1

Participants will fly into Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and be greeted at baggage claim by your drive. There they will help you with your luggage and to your towncar. An hour later you will arrive at Barnsley Gardens Resort where you will check into your own private Garden Suite. Get settled and unpacked, start a fire in your own fireplace, or relax in your garden tub before the meet and greet at 4 PM. Come and enjoy some beverages along with the other participants with Chris & Anna Coltran. Continue to get to know everyone over an impeccably prepared dinner at The Woodlands Grill, amidst the ambience of an English hunting lodge. Meet up later at the famous Beer Gardens with new friends at the Beer Gardens or hit the bed early for tomorrow morning.

Day 2

Meet at the Red House at 8 AM for a light breakfast. Chris will open with an overview of Convergent Branding. This is the foundation of the entire retreat and will help you understand why it is so important. Each participant will share their current Bio's with the group. Chris will offer suggestions to each person while everyone works on their new version. Many times a Bio is too vague, and too much like a resume. By the time you're done, you might not even recognize yourself. We will spend time on website design today discussing color, styles, and the different types of websites. We will talk about logo's; their power and their importance. We will also talk about public speaking and how you can get yourself booked in your local market as well as outside of your local area. Lunch will be served at the Red House while dinner will be at the Rice House.

Day 3

Meet at the Red House at 8 AM for a light breakfast. Today each participant will get their professional headshots taken. One casual and one in business attire. Both with a white backdrop as well as a few in the natural settings of Barnsley Gardens. These will be yours to keep along with the copyright. You will be able to use them in all your marketing materials, your website, and anything else you wish to use them for. Each participant will use their new presentation skills they learned yesterday to make a short presentation to the group on their product or service. Lunch will be served at the Red House while dinner will be at the Woodlands Grill.

Day 4

Meet at the Red House at 8 AM for a very light breakfast to save room for the most amazing Southern, Family Style lunch being served at the Rice House. Receive your pictures from your photo shoot. Share your final Bio's with the group. Discuss competition and how to do your research. Lunch at the Rice House will cap off the retreat. You will leave via towncar to the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to make your departure flight home.
