Even though we couldn’t pull off an event in 2025, we haven’t given up! The new dates are May 14 – 16, 2026. The theme is A Coaching Kaleidoscope: A Shared Foundation, Infinite Expressions. Our vision for this retreat is to explore the beauty and magic of coaching from a host of different angles.
The agenda is an inspiring and energizing weekend filled with incredible speakers, ICF-approved CCEUs, and plenty of connection, laughter, and fun. Come reconnect with your classmates and meet so many other amazing alumni too. https://positivecoach.com/product/retreat-2026/
Join us at the Omni Las Colinas Hotel, Dallas (Irving), TX, a beautiful and convenient venue just a quick rail ride from either Dallas airport and only steps from great restaurants and shops. Registration begins at 4:00 pm on Thursday, followed by a 5:30 pm Welcome Reception. Our interactive presentations and workshops run all day Friday and through Saturday afternoon, so most guests can still travel home Saturday evening without missing any speakers. Evenings are yours to reconnect with classmates, meet new colleagues, enjoy dinner with new friends, or unwind at the hotel—consider reserving a treatment in the Mokara Spa for a special treat!
