When I first started, I found it hard to find like minded planner friends and feel comfortable being at industry events. Planner Life is rooted in community over competition. It is a place everyone is welcome, we create an environment where you can quickly and easily feel seen and supported no matter where you are in your career and no matter the clients you serve. Everyone is expected to be respectful, open minded and supportive. My favorite part is how you will live with new friends to cheer you on and support you for years to come. Welcome to the Planner Life Community.

It was too much of a good thing! While planners were feeling like they got more than they expected just in day one, the three day workshop was too much for many planners. It was such a large time and financial commitment. This new format allows for more planners to invest in their businesses right now. And it allows me to see and support more of you each year.

All 2025 Workshops will be in Orange County, California where I have the best relationships with venues, vendors and speakers to help keep the workshop investment as low as possible. I hope to bring the workshops to other destinations in the future.

Yes! The Mastering Management workshop will be recorded to create a new online course focused on coordination.
In the future, I plan to create more mini courses focused on running the business and so much more. Be sure to follow @plannerlifeacademy and be signed up for the email list to stay connected and learn about new offerings.
