Ask Me Anything, Live from Workcation: Empowering Teams, Navigating Growth, and More

Last week, we gathered with 14 incredible members of The Planner’s Vault at our latest Workation retreat, held in a stunning lakeside home near Charlotte, North Carolina. As always, I was joined by my COO, confidante, and “work wife,” Gina, to lead our community through three transformative days of business-building, personal growth, and focus.

In this special live-recorded episode, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look (and listen!) into the retreat as we answer questions straight from our members on everything from growing a team to tackling current challenges in the wedding industry, and even knowing when it might be time for a big pivot in your business.

So, grab a glass and listen along as we dive into an AMA that’s full of practical insights, candid conversations, and a few background wine clinks.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Key strategies for growing and supporting your team
• How to own and thrive in your unique “zone of genius”
• Identifying and addressing common challenges from wedding clients
• Knowing when to make major shifts in your business

(00:02:39) How can we be the best bosses ever so that our team loves being on our team forever?

(00:07:07) What are you seeing are the biggest challenges from couples getting married right now, and how can we as planners best serve those concerns and their pain points?

(00:09:14) At what point did you decide to sell your business and go into coaching full time? Was that something you always had as an eventual exit strategy or did something else happen that kind of prompted that for you?

(00:13:05)  What is the shift that needs to happen to take a business that has reached multiple six figures in revenue and has the team in place to scaling beyond that?

(00:16:52) When you were running your business as a wedding planner, what was your weakness and how did you lean into it and eventually grow from it?
(00:19:10) If you were to start your coaching business again, what is one thing you would do the same, and what is one thing that you would do differently?
