​We're doing it again!
2026 is going to be bigger and better! ​Highlights of what's NEW:
- Transportation to and from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Charlotte NC
- MORE options: with space for 25 powerhouse studio owners, you'll choose between staying in the lakefront home or the neighboring hotel (all meals, activities and speakers are held at the lake house)
- and there's MORE speakers and activities
- MORE connections: all attendees become part of The Circle—monthly sessions with retreat speakers that extend your retreat experience throughout the year, deepening the insights and supporting your continued growth
- NEW option for registration: choice of pay in full or pay half now, pay half May 1, 2026 (no additional charge)
​
​
So many firsts for the PYOP industry
- There has never been such a dynamic and wide-ranging group of speakers at a PYOP event. The value, resources and guidance packed into these four days is far beyond your investment.
- The speakers and activities have been created specifically for maintaining the health and wellness of you AND your business.
- Speakers join us after their discussion for lunch or dinner, opening up the dialog for deeper discussions within the group.
- Planned as a small-scale event means you have time to meet with all of the speakers, ask questions and stay connected after the retreat.

​Navigating The Middle speakers
The speakers for Navigating The Middle are MORE than I could have ever imagined as I set out to plan this event last year. The event's lineup is so heavy with amazing speakers, I've been rearranging how they present so we can have time to discuss and digest all of their expertise and, most importantly, how to organize and proceed with all that we've learned. I'm beyond overjoyed for you to meet and learn from every single speaker. I can say with certainty that these speakers are just excited to meet you as I am to host them - and this is not just a one time meet-and-teach for them either. They want to continue to be a resource for you! What an invaluable resource to have these people in your business toolkit.
​​
I invite you to join a dedicated group of business owners who are in the BEST years of their life - personally and professionally.
​
Thank you!
Hillary and the TCR team
