We will tackle the big questions…
- Where do I see myself in 1, 3, and 5 years?
- What systems and tools do I need to get there?
- What do I need to change to start working ON my business, not just FOR my business?
- Who am I on the other side of the pandemic? As a business owner and as a person?
- How can I shift perspective for a more positive LIFE–WORK balance?
- What strategies do I need to continue adapting and evolving with the changing times?
- What is my marketing plan?
- Am I surrounded by other professionals to support me: legal, accounting, marketing, etc?
- What exactly will fuel my business growth?
If you’re ready to ask yourself these questions, the Pivot & Prosper Retreat will provide you with the necessary tools to Pivot for Success.
* This is NOT a FAM Trip, but an opportunity to work ON your business instead of IN your business. GIVE YOURSELF THE PERMISSION to think on a larger scale ~ to think out of the box and explore strategies to professionally grow as a modern, efficient travel pro?
Are you ready to PIVOT & PROSPER?





Meet Your Business and Life Coach / Mentor, Denise Canon
Owner of Travel Concepts KC and Founding Member of Consortia X

Denise Canon
Owner
I’ve owned my travel agency for more than 27 years— so I’ve seen my fair share of “industry disruptors.” This includes 9/11, the 2008 recession and the recent pandemic – all challenging events that fundamentally changed our industry.
In fact, these “industry disruptors” were my wake-up call. I didn’t know the first thing about running a business when I got started! After 9/11, I realized I needed to get my act together and develop a business plan – not just supplier / destination knowledge – if I wanted my travel business to survive.
Since then, I’ve grown my agency to a RockStar Team of 10 independent sales associates and 3 employees that produce $10 million+ in gross sales annually. Along the way, I’ve learned many success lessons, like the importance of niching down, charging fees, creating clear policies and procedures for my team, and being agile when you know what hits the fan.
The subsequent “industry disruptor” with the pandemic was my reminder to (once again) PIVOT with continued focus to PROSPER. I have learned to become the master of my business with techniques that allow me to embrace my own inner strength and succeed. Do what you love. I believe to my core that it is a beautiful thing when career and passion come together. Since opening the doors of my travel business in April of 1996, I manage and oversee the general operations of the company, maintain impeccable relationships/partnerships with our suppliers and coach/mentor my immediate staff and independent sales team. It is my first priority to make sure the individuals around me, both my team and clients, are well-served and satisfied. Discover what profoundly moves you from within, with a variety of techniques provided during the RETREAT that will reinvigorate your mind, body, and spirit.
And above all else – I’ve learned you absolutely cannot do it alone. My goal with this Retreat is to provide a space for travel pros who possess a mindset of being in it to win it to connect with one another, start dreaming for a brighter future, and receive veteran mentorship to guide them there with ease. If you are coachable, crave community, and absolutely committed to success, let’s move forward together!
“When I attended the first Pivot Retreat, I had no idea how much I would learn about running my business. I am much more prepared as a solopreneur business owner to service my clients using all the “tools” in my “toolbox”. In addition, I made life long professional and personal friends. Denise is a great mentor and a beautiful person inside and out.”
