Join us on Friday, June 7th for Realign & Recharge: A Something Major Women’s Leadership Retreat.
Hosted this year inside one of Washington's most iconic "room where it happens," The Willard Intercontinental Hotel, we hope you'll join us for a day of women's leadership development, networking, and wellbeing.
Retreat Impact: Hosted by author, Something Major Founder, and certified women’s leadership coach, Randi Braun, we're thrilled to host this annual experience that past attendees have described as "absolutely perfect," "transformational" and "exactly what I needed."
June 2024 Theme: Our June retreat will focus on the topic of Saying "Yes" to Saying "No," workshopping actionable content from Braun's WSJ best-selling book Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work. Whether you're a habitual people-pleaser caught in the "likeability" trap or a ruthless prioritizer always looking to level-up your boundaries, join us for an impactful day of leadership development.
Sign up or learn more about the day’s agenda, cost, and FAQs below. We've had women travel from as far as Oregon to join us, and we hope you'll join us this year as well!
“As a two-time participant in Something Major Retreats, I have been equally amazed and impressed by the quality of conversation, instant camaraderie of women from completely different backgrounds, and the ease at which Randi facilitates thought-provoking discussion.
Attending this annual event is the investment in yourself and your wellbeing that you didn’t know you needed.”
— 'IOLANI BULLOCK, VP OF DEI AT THE CARLYLE GROUP
Retreat Agenda & Details:
AM: Realigning Mind & Body
Coffee & Connect: We'll begin the day with an opportunity to network with other women over coffee and refreshments.
Welcome & Saying "Yes" to Saying "No" Workshop by Randi Braun: Too many of us crush it at work while feeling crushed in the process. This workshop will empower participants with tools to set boundaries with confidence and authenticity -- while still thriving in high-pressure and excellence-first environments.
Nourishing Vinyasa Flow Yoga: After realigning our minds, we’ll realign our body with a nourishing vinyasa flow yoga class. This class is suitable for all levels.
PM: Recharging Our Spirit
Networking Lunch: To recharge our spirits, following yoga we’ll sit down for a delicious networking lunch (accompanied by a wine).
Closing Workshop & Completion Exercise: We'll end the day with a final workshop, followed by a completion exercise and closing remarks from Randi.
Attire: Keeping it casual and relaxed, leggings/yoga clothes are required. Ponytails are not required, but strongly encouraged.

Pro Tip #1 - Ask Your Employer to Sponsor Your Seat: About 50% of our participants have their employer sponsor their participation as a leadership development and/or networking experience, while half of our attendees self-sponsor. Reach out for a copy of our Business Case Kit if you’re interested in learning more about how your employer might sponsor your participation as a leadership development and/or networking experience (randi@somethingmajorcoaching.com).
Pro Tip # 2 - Reduced Rate for Overnighting at The Willard: For those coming from out of town, or for local Washingtonians who are looking for a reason to indulge, we have a room block available at the extremely discounted rate for both Thursday, 6/6 and Friday,6/7. Rooms are first-come-first-served and must be booked after registration is completed. So, if you know you plan to overnight, please email Randi Braun at randi@somethingmajorcoaching.com as soon as you register. Of course, overnighting at the hotel is 100% optional (we've had women pop in from as far away as Connecticut or Chicago for a day drip given the hotel's close proximity to DCA airport).
