The 3-day Business Owner Retreat provides salon owners with classroom and networking opportunities, while at the same time the chance to chill out and take time away from their business. This enables time to reflect, plan and prepare for the next twelve months. This is an opportunity for Brands to host their very own tailor-made event, for premium stockists. This intensive, intimate and hands on coaching experience, changes the way business owners think and operate their businesses forever. The Business Owner Retreat, allows participants to immerse themselves in their business and to network with like-minded salon owners, while attending to their well-being.
Activities
Although Liz's retreats are classroom based and business focused, the retreat programme includes a number of fun activities – for example, wake up yoga, cycling with Liz, a pottery making class and a vision board session, in addition to a number of workshops sessions, exploring what Business Owners want to accomplish and mapping out plans to achieve personal and business goals.

What Liz says about her Business Owners Retreat
Commenting on the Retreat, Liz McKeon, Salon Business Expert, said, "we have had the most incredible three days, not just in the classroom, but with all the other activities which are designed to give everyone much needed 'business switch off time'. Everyone enjoyed the unique experience of living in treehouses throughout their stay and the most amazing food, cocktails and drinks. I am so happy that everybody left having had the most amazing time and everyone looks and feels so much happier, ready to work on and improve their business. I am 100% convinced that there is serious merit in 'sometimes the only way to move forward is to retreat'!
