GUTSY Gals Hear the Call to a Weekend Retreat

Sept. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- The word is spreading. “GUTSY: How Women Leaders Make Change” the newest book by Sylvia Lafair, PhD will be given away to all participants at the GUTSY WOMEN RETREAT WEEK-END, November 11-13, 2011 at The Country Place Retreat and Conference Center located in the Pocono Mountains of Pa. (www.retreatpa.com)

Sylvia Lafair, award winning author, business leadership expert, executive coach to large corporations, and President of Creative Energy Options, Inc. (CEO), has created this successful and inspiring program based on her newest book of the same name.  Past participants have told their friends about the power of the GUTSY program and due to popular demand CEO has added a November retreat. Dr. Lafair has created new topics for the retreat to offer women tips to prepare for the complexities of the holiday season ahead. This is when busy working women get even busier; impossible yet true!

The Friday evening through Sunday noon program addresses what today’s business women need to be best in class in self-care, self-aware, and pattern-aware areas.

GUTSY women learn that self-care is NOT selfish-care; self-aware is a MUST; pattern-aware is the NEWEST and EDGIEST information in how to be “conflict competent” in all relationships, at home and at work.

“I believe this is a major breakthrough era for women leaders and I am dedicating my time to offer powerful tools and tips (including the OUT TECHNIQUE™) for all working women. It is vital to show up in our best GUTSY manner and I am also taking the program national next year, beginning in Ojai, California in February” stated Dr. Lafair. She added, with her usual GUTSY GUSTO, “This is about how we, as women, and our male colleagues can partner in new and more productive ways. The next generations of leaders is waiting and watching. It truly is about how we make change happen. It’s about you, it’s about me, and it’s about time.”

Attendees at the highly successful events describe the weekend as, “amazing, empowering, inspiring, and motivating”, and did not want to see it end. Each attendee left with a GUTSY Action Plan for making a difference in their own lives and paying it forward to others.

"GUTSY hits the spot. It's what every business woman, actually what every woman needs now. In one weekend I was able to rethink, reclaim, and reinvent my priorities for work and home. In just ONE weekend! Get your gear together and get to GUTSY. You will thank Sylvia and her team forever and ever!" - Joanne LaMarca, Producer, The Today Show, NBC, New York
