BE THE CHANGE
FINDING PURPOSE, CLARITY & MOMENTUM
3-DAY IMMERSIVE RETREAT
Be the change
“Be the Change” is a facilitated 3-day immersive retreat designed to challenge perspectives, encourage you to think differently and help you identify what’s holding you back. So much has changed in the world in such a short time that it can be hard to keep up, often it is just intensely exhausting and too overwhelming to even think about.
Change is everywhere:
- The way clients are spending and shopping
- The way you need to recruit and retain your team
- The way you make money and find balance
- The way you feel about your business
- What you want for your future
- Everything has changed….
Change can be a positive thing when you are prepared for it. When it comes flying at you thick and fast with great uncertainty it can feel a little more unsettling. This is often where fear, self-doubt and other limiting beliefs show up in full force, providing yet another problem that you need to fix!
Be the Change is designed to provide a supportive environment that allows you to step away from your business and take the pressure off, even just for a couple of days. Immerse into a “distraction free zone”, wander in nature and take a few deep breaths…and then just let it all go. This is about replenishing and re-energising YOU, removing limiting beliefs and instilling a deep sense of self, complete with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Be the change….two-day immersive retreat
The best way to predict the future is to create it…..
DAY 1
THE MINDSET SHIFT
Sometimes all we need is a different perspective, a different way of seeing things.
Today is that day…
Today is the day for you to feel supported, guided and even uplifted as we unveil different ways of doing business, working smarter not harder, forging new paths, pushing boundaries, and trying new things.
It might feel a little uncomfortable at times, but growth always does…and sometimes we just need to get out of our own way
WHAT DOES VALUE LOOK LIKE TO THE CLIENT
The rapidly changing economic landscape impacts significantly on the way we live and certainly the way we shop and spend money. The combination of Covid, rising interest rates and changes to our cost of living has created the perfect shitstorm when it comes to consumer confidence and future certainty. This session will deep dive into the changes we are currently seeing in the market and what we can expect in the future so you can redefine and realign your value proposition.
ATTENTION IS CURRENCY – HOW TO GET IT, KEEP IT & CONVERT IT
Attention is the new currency and has become one of the most valuable commodities in business today. Our clients get to choose how and where they are going to spend it, which makes it harder for us to even compete in the first place. With “Attention” being the new kid on the block, attracting heavy competition and offering no guaranteed results, we need to stay focused on the old tried and true “Loyalty” to retain our current clients and maximise their untapped potential. Granted you will need to be creative but that’s where we come in.
THINK LATERALLY, DESIGN CREATIVELY, STAY AGILE
This session is all about creativity, collaboration and thinking outside the box. Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity – not a threat. It is also the only insurance against irrelevance. In this facilitated group brainstorming you will be pushed out of your comfort zone to think bigger, imagine “what if”, and solve problems differently. Leveraging all the intelligence and brainpower of the group we will have a lot of fun but also build some practical solutions to real problems.
DON’T LET FEAR DECIDE YOUR FUTURE
This session is personal, it’s not about business, it’s about you. We all carry fears, worry, stress and anxiety and it can be hard to find the space to release these thought patterns and limiting beliefs. This session will give you that space and allow you to see clearly how these patterns play out in your life, your business and your relationships. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it and it is having this awareness that allows you to make different decisions as you move forward. This is an inspiring and uplifting way to finish a very productive day and will ensure you sleep like a baby.
DAY 2
THE PEOPLE PLAN
SESSION 1
HOW TO LEAD A TEAM WITH CONFIDENCE & CLARITY
Vanessa is the real deal! After 18 years running my spa I finally found a program that really works. Vanessa knows her stuff and works specifically with experienced business owners. This is not a cookie cutter approach but a customised program tailored exactly to my needs…it fits like a glove. No more sleepless night wondering what to do next. I now have a formula that works. Can’t recommend highly enough!
SESSION 2
THE CONCEPT OF CO-PILOTING & HOW IT ELEVATES PERFORMANCE
As a leader of people, it can sometimes be challenging to find the right words or the right actions. It can be difficult to know when to coach, when to mentor, when to train and when to correct and the differences between them. Understanding that every team member is different, the key here is to not make “their” reaction or interactions determine how you lead them. This sounds easy but it can be really challenging, leading to feelings of self-doubt, mistrust and a lack of confidence. Learning the concept of co-piloting your team members allows you confidently grow their performance in a way that feels authentic and genuine to you.
SESSION 3
DON’T JUST MAKE CHANGE… BE THE CHANGE
The world and how we live and act in it has changed so significantly over the last few years, it is no longer enough to do business as we used to. Sometimes we can get carried away about practical changes that we want to make like creating a better system, introducing a new product or improving a service and whilst these are all important things that may have previously made a big impact…they deliver very little impact in today’s world. If you want to drive real change, long-lasting change then you need to completely re-imagine your business and your role in it. What do you want in the future, what is your exit strategy, what does life look like for you now? Impactful change won’t come from small things, but it will come from meaningful things. You need to embody the change you want to see…

Whirlwind of Gratitude
“Each testimonial is a gust of wind propelling us forward, and for that, we’re endlessly grateful to our amazing clients”
“I had the privilege of working with Vanessa, and the experience has truly transformed my business. Having worked with various coaches in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by the unique tools and perspectives Vanessa brought to the table. Her insights prompted a profound shift in my thinking, revealing new possibilities for my business that I had previously overlooked. Vanessa’s guidance helped me recognize the often overlooked aspects that can profoundly impact our success, even amidst our daily grind. I am sincerely grateful for her support and guidance. Thank you, Vanessa, for helping me see my business in a whole new light.”
If you are thinking of working with LOFT Inc – Don’t Hesitate! Just sign up and do it. Be open to change and the amazing Vanessa will help you reach your goals and targets. I was feeling deflated, anxious, sick of trying so hard to expand but not getting anywhere even though I knew we gave a high level of service to our clients. I was feeling weighed down with bills and working harder than ever for little profit. After working with Vanessa for only 3 months we had our greatest profit in 10 years, and I was feeling much happier about the business and way less stressed!
Working with LOFT Inc has been one of the most valuable and genuine experiences of my life! It has been a total game changer for me and my team! The level of experience integrated with their level of care and authenticity has had such a positive impact on our business and personal life. The guidance, the content, the 1:1 sessions, the chats and the consistent support has just been above and beyond, the value has been priceless. The business has grown in every aspect and so have we as business owners. We are forever grateful & highly recommend you to join this amazing warm, wonderful group of people.
Working with LOFT Inc has been such an amazing eye opening & life transforming experience. After being in business for 14 years I thought I knew most things & was doing pretty well, however they helped me to see my business from a whole new light and helped me explore the untapped potential growth within my business I didn’t even know existed. The possibilities for me and my business are endless.
The LOFT team are always there ready to help and support you – they make you think differently and explore other ways of thinking and operating. I cannot recommend Vanessa and her team’s services highly enough. Truly life changing!
“We started working with Vanessa and the LOFT team at the beginning of 2020 and we haven’t looked back! The focus of our training with Vanessa was interrupted by The Corona Virus, however largely due to the tireless support of the LOFT crew we not only survived in 2020 we thrived!! Vanessa was 2 steps ahead of all of us in how to get through a crisis!! We are really excited to be moving forward with the LOFT Team with a positivity that really fits with our own ethos! Feels like a recipe for success!!”
I have done various training with LOFT Inc and found it to be extremely helpful and insightful. It made me really look at my business differently and challenged me to change my way of thinking about things. I was doing the Consolidate program when covid-19 started, thus the course was disrupted and took much longer than was expected to take. However, during that time Vanessa and her team were checking in and helping. During the second lockdown it allowed me to totally renovate my service menu and since lockdown lifted, my profit has never looked so good! I look forward to continuing working with LOFT Inc. Well done Team!
I have worked with Vanessa and her fantastic team at LOFT Inc over the last 18 months and in this time I completed 2 education programs. I worked with Vanessa and her team to help me drive my business through the COVID closure of 9 weeks. They offered up to date information as it came to hand and helped with invaluable information and ideas throughout the closure.
The programs have helped me as an individual to really grow and take charge of my business. The fact that these programs not only helped drive profit, but they also assisted with information on so many other parts of your business that sometimes gets forgotten or pushed aside was extremely valuable to me. Thank you to the wonderful team at LOFT Inc and I look forward to our continued partnership this year!
