It opened my eyes up to so much more, got me out of my comfort zone, and really taught me how to network, open up to people, and, for once, go with the flow of things. I learned so much, and I have already started implementing new tools to improve my business."

    -ALEX KORVES, TOTAL ACCESS TRAVEL

  • "By the time the event was over, I had made priceless connections with suppliers, other advisors and leaders in the travel industry. I had a notebook consumed with ideas on how to better my business on a large and small scale. I understood myself, my clients, and others in my life better because of one of the workshops I attended. I left the event feeling energized, supported and most of all, educated beyond measure."
