Sweat & Reset: A Women's Leadership Workshop & Workout

  • Barre3 1832 14th Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20009 United States (map)

Kick off the new year with an afternoon of women's leadership development, working out, and networking.

Hosted by executive coach and WSJ best-selling author, Randi Braun, join SWEAT AND RESET on Friday, January 26th from 1:30-4:30pm.

This isn't just a "group fitness class." SWEAT & RESET is an afternoon of women's leadership development, working out, and networking with other women who share a similar goal of making 2024 a strong and satisfying year!

We'll kick off the New Year with a workshop on "Reimagining Productivity," before taking one of Barre3's empowering, for-all-levels workout classes, with networking along the way.

Participants can expect to walk away with:

  • An understanding of the "Three Productivity Traps" that keep high-performing women stressed out and hustling against a never-ending to-do list

  • Strategies for resetting from the "Productive Mindset" to the "Impactful Mindset"

  • New tools you can apply to work immediately upon returning to your office, to decrease exhaustion and increase impactfulness

  • Workshop content is adapted from both Braun's Wall Street Journal best-selling book, Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work, as well as from the work she does with her coaching clients, so expect to walk away with tactical strategies

  • In addition to these robust professional development takeaways, participants can expect to have a great workout (suitable for all levels) and enjoy an afternoon of different-in-kind networking

"Attending [one of Randi's] events is the investment in yourself and your wellbeing that you didn’t know you needed."

"Thank you so much, Randi, for hosting such a wonderful event. I’ve been to so many networking events that can be intimidating or are not actually productive in building meaningful connections. But this one was so different. I felt so comfortable—and am very happy that I have three lunches scheduled with women from the event. I look forward to continuing to reach out to other women as well, thanks again!"

FAQs

Will I walk away with anything tangible?

YES! Per the above, you will walk away with new tools you can use to reimagine "productivity" in your workflow: equipping yourself with new strategies to be more efficient, impactful, and fulfilled at work-- and less exhausted as we kick off a new year.

Why SWEAT AND RESET?

For years, clients have been raving about the magic of Braun's retreats, which offer a combination of women's leadership development, wellness activities, and networking. SWEAT AND RESET takes the best of what clients love about retreats but remixes the format: offering "fan favorites" at a fraction of the time commitment and cost.

Who should come?

This event is designed for experienced, career-focused professional women -- whether you're a leader in your organization, an entrepreneur, a woman in career transition, or a community mover-and-shaker -- looking to enjoy an afternoon of professional development, networking, and working out.

What is Barre3 and how do I know if I'll like the class?

About the class: Barre3 is a full-body workout combining strength, cardio, and mindfulness. This class is suitable for all levels.

Why we chose it: For years, Braun struggled with her own relationship to her body and to fitness: she fell in love with Barre3 years ago when she finally found a workout that empowered clients to honor and love their bodies, instead of just trying to "make them smaller" like so many others.

Something for everyone: If you're looking to get your sweat on, you've come to the right place! Similarly, if you have injuries or are brand new, the Barre3 signature way of teaching is to offer modifications for every single pose. This class has something for everyone.

What should I wear?

Fitness apparel. We'll be spending the afternoon in a workout studio so come comfortably.

What if I can only come for part of the day?

Participants who can join the whole afternoon will get the most out of SWEAT AND RESET. If you know you have to come late or leave early to accommodate a standing meeting or another commitment, we recommend you come to another event so you can gain the full ROI on your investment If you do join us, tell work/clients you're at a professional development event for the rest of the day and set that auto-responder!

Wait, do you think work could reimburse me for my ticket?

Maybe! About half of our participants for Something Major events are employer-sponsored, while half are self-sponsored. Feel free to email Braun at randi@somethingmajorcoaching.com for her customizable email template for asking work to reimburse your ticket. Pro tip if your self-employed: talk to your accountant about whether you can write this off as a professional development expense.

Are tickets refundable?

Tickets are non-refundable. If you are unable to come, you may transfer your ticket to a friend or colleague.

What if I have more questions?

Ask away! You can email Braun at randi@somethingmajorcoaching.com
