Kim Anderson Consulting

How does this virtual retreat work?

Our in-person retreats are a ton of fun and second to none but not everyone can travel to hang out in person.  Plus inclement weather in winter months makes travel difficult for many people. 

You NEED this.

Why kick off 2020 feeling lost, overwhelmed or unsure?  

You could be kicking it off with focus, goals, next best steps from and expert and the option to be placed in a strategically created, hand-picked mastermind group?

What is the purpose of the virtual retreat? 

• Helping bloggers prep and plan for 2020 with confidence! 
• Give attendees the option to be placed in hand-picked mastermind groups so they don't have to go looking on their own.
• Giving bloggers momentum at the beginning of the year and helping them plan out their next best steps. 
• Exclusive half-hour coaching calls with Kim not offered outside of retreats.
• Meetings with an attorney so you can get all your blogging legalese questions clarified. 
• Specific trainings that equip you to set goals you can reach, get your blog legal, increase your Pinterest traffic and attack your income goals. 
• Networking and making a Mentored Retreat accessible to people who may not be able to travel! 

If the retreat is virtual, how do we meet or join trainings? 

• Trainings, printables, workbooks and resources will be hosted in the online Retreat Thinkific space.  (This way you can always go back and re-watch things if you need to until January 2021).
• All pieces of training will be pre-recorded and released on January 9th so you can watch them at any point before the live Q & A sessions with the speakers. 
• Live Q & A's will occur at a certain time each day and all meetings will be held online using the meeting software Zoom. 

How do Mastermind Group Placements Work? 

• Each attendee will fill out a placement survey in November. 
• Based on the survey answers, participants have the option to be placed into mastermind groups based on members being in about the same place in their blogging journeys. 
• Mastermind groups will receive information on how to conduct meetings and NDA templates to use as they tackle 2020 together on their own.
• During the retreat, mastermind groups will connect in digital co-working sessions together throughout the day using 30 minutes of work with 5-10 minute chat breaks. 

Any tips on getting the most out of the weekend?

• Make sure you are in a place that has good internet so that you can co-work, watch videos and attend zoom meetings.
• The conference schedule will operate in the Eastern Time Zone so think about how that will work with your schedule. 
• If you have a lot of distractions at home or work, consider spending the weekend away from home/work at a nearby hotel or library so you have quiet focus time to yourself. 

How do the group meetings and one-on-one sessions work?

• If you have a one-on-one ticket, we will have a half hour one-on-one coaching call using Zoom at a specific meeting time.  Participants will book these times using my online scheduling system. 
• If you have a regular ticket, we will have a one hour call with your entire mastermind group to plan out goals for the year for each member.  These meeting times will go out via email a few weeks before the event.  

Who will be the co-mentors?

• Kim Anderson will be meeting attendees one on one as well as in group.  Kim will also be doing 3 talks and 3 live Q & A sessions. 
• Andrea Vetter will be meeting with groups, doing a presentation and a live Q & A meeting. 
• Karen Bemmes will be meeting with attendees one on one, doing one on one personality assessments as well as a presentation and live Q & A call. 
• Kara Fidd will be doing a presentation followed by a live Q & A session. 

What happens in one-on-one meetings with Karen Bemmes for upgrade tickets?

• Karen Bemmes is a Certified DISC Behavior Consultant.
• She will have each one on one ticket holder take a DISC assessment.
• She will analyze the results and have a one hour one-on-one call with each one on one attendee to help them understand how their personality helps and hurts their goal setting efforts.
