Denise Canon

Owner

With over 35 years of experience in the travel industry, I’ve navigated through “industry disruptors” like 9/11, the 2008 recession, and the recent pandemic. These challenges were pivotal moments that propelled me to refine my business strategies, nurture valuable partnerships, and embrace my passion for coaching and mentoring.

My journey has led me to build a RockStar Team and achieve $10 million+ in annual sales. Through this retreat, I’m excited to share my insights, strategies, and techniques that will invigorate your mind, body, and spirit.

At Pivot & Prosper, we believe in the power of community, a growth mindset, and an unwavering commitment to success. If you’re ready to step into your greatness, join us on this transformative journey!

“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 lifelong professional and personal friends. Denise is a great mentor and a beautiful person inside and out.”
Wendy Boverini, Owner – Travel with Wendy B

    From our past participants…

    “Before attending the Pivot and Prosper retreat, my travel business was plagued by uncertainty. I lacked a clear direction and struggled with organization. The mounting pressure left me feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout…and I was only one year in. Then I signed up for Pivot and Prosper and met Denise, the mentor I had longed for since day one. With her guidance, I not only learned to tailor my business to suit my needs but also to prioritize self-care, enabling me to become the best version of myself.

    Throughout the retreat, we were provided invaluable insights into travel law, empowering me to safeguard both myself and my business. Emerging from Pivot and Prosper, I felt a newfound clarity and alignment with my business vision, as well as a deeper understanding of how to integrate it with my broader life goals. Learning to confidently say no to opportunities that didn’t align with my vision was a life-changing revelation for me.

    Don’t be afraid to invest in yourself!  The Pivot and Prosper retreat proved to be the catalyst I needed to elevate my business to new heights.”

    Angie Koll, Owner – Sunspire Travel

    “I enjoyed the Pivot and Prosper retreat. So important to set aside time to work ON the business.

    We had great sharing with like-minded travel pros and masterminding on what will take our business to the next level.
    It’s like having a board of directors meeting. We get to brain storm and share best practices and strategies. The relationships Denise has with her contacts added on another component for our fam education.
    It’s crucial for our business to allow unplugged reflection time and set goals and intentions for the type of life we want to bring to fruition.”

    Debby Leong

    “Denise, thank you for providing a space for me to dream. and for those dreams to come true.

    The Pivot & Prosper Retreat is an invaluable event for travel advisors looking to grow personally and professionally. Attending the first one in November 2020 helped reignite my business after a tough year. I had the best 3 months of business after this event, and I know for a fact it was because of the inspiration and knowledge I gained from everyone at the Pivot & Prosper Retreat. If you want to take your business to the next level, attend a Pivot and Prosper Retreat!’

    Sarah Key, Owner – The Keys to Travel

    “If you are looking for personal growth, expand your business into higher levels and find direction by becoming persistent and resilient on crucial moments of your life, this is a conference that must be on your radar. Personally I have attended the Pivot & Prosper retreat on previous years and it’s a great way to interact with other like-minded agents plus work closely with some of the best resorts chains in Mexico, plus be inspired by some of the most powerful and influential key note speakers in the travel industry.. I look forward to be part of it again and again!”


    Daniel Scheiman, Founder/Owner – Mexico Famtrips & Caribbean Famtrips

    “I have been a participant/speaker at all of the Pivot and Prosper events. Over the course of these events, I have witnessed advisors take their business by the horns and become the master of their business, instead of allowing their business to master them. This event teaches the techniques to allow you to embrace your own inner strength and succeed. I cannot stress enough the positive impact of embracing the principles Denise shares. If you truly want a business that is thriving, this is the event that can take you there.”


    Travel Law Attorney – Ment Law Group, PC

    “Denise and the P & P retreat was truly life-changing! Denise is so inspirational and I loved the amazing group of agents she handpicked, all of who I am still good friends with years later. The content of the retreat was relatable and actionable and since then, I have literally pivoted and prospered! The retreat friendships, leadership from Denise and information kick-started me to my new future.”


    Lori Gold, Founder – The Resorts of the Riviera Maya Facebook Group & Explore More Mexico / Mexperts

    “When I attended the first Pivot Retreat and subsequent years, 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 lifelong professional and personal friends. Denise is a great mentor and a beautiful person inside and out.”

    Wendy Boverini, Owner – Travel with Wendy B

    “I heard about the Pivot and Prosper Retreat after it was posted about in the Resorts of Riviera Maya group on FB. The timing was perfect as I was making a move away from conferences and toward smaller focused events with high level travel professionals. I reached out to Denise and during a follow up meeting learned about her vision, passion, and deep desire to help other travel professionals grow into their full potential. I knew immediately I wanted to be a part of this opportunity and signed up! The retreat was a time of high-level networking and learning combined with intimate experiences with suppliers and resorts. The knowledge I gained from Denise in this immersive setting with women and men who are focused on their businesses isn’t something you can recreate just anywhere. Denise herself is an absolute joy and works with you one on one to weed out ineffective procedures and introduce you to new ways to sell travel based on a tried and true model. Denise will challenge you, share with you, and present opportunities based on her years of success. I have signed up again for this year’s retreat and would tell anyone who is considering this event to do the same.”


    Kristy Smallish, Owner – Now Boarding Travel

    “The Pivot & Prosper Retreat & FAM was everything I needed after COVID and a tough year.

    Traveling with like-minded colleagues, hearing from the best of the best in the industry and learning from Denise’s expertise was invaluable!

    The knowledge and confidence I gained from the event were everything I needed to up level my business to move past the challenges of the past year.

    If you are ready to grab your business by the horns, get in destination, and up level the nooks and crannies of your business, Pivot & Prosper is for you!”

    Dana Lewis, Owner – Discovereighng with Dana Travel & Destination Weddings

    “I attended the 1st Pivot and Prosper retreat (and each subsequent year) and it was absolutely one of the best things I could have done! It was an opportunity to meet with like-minded travel advisors who were interested in jump-starting their businesses after months of uncertainty in the industry.

    The speakers were spot-on, addressing the areas of my business I most needed to update/upgrade. The many site inspections offered a chance to see various properties in all areas and price ranges. Truly informative.

    Everyone involved was so supportive and non-judgmental. Lots of learning and laughing during the retreat – a welcome combination! I feel so fortunate to be a part of this group; it’s like having my own build-in cheering section!”

    Nancy Yeomans, Owner – Pangea Luxury Travel

    “It’s always a good idea to step away from the day to days of owning and running a business in order to gain perspective. It’s hard to set goals and see the opportunities for growth when you are in the thick of it. But there’s something magical about a professional experience where the attendees are interested not just in revenue and profit, but in living life WELL and ENJOYING the journey. The opportunity to speak and share at Pivot & Prosper was a professional high for me. I loved being in a room of travel professionals who were there not just to grow, but to THRIVE. If you are on the fence about applying, just do it. This experience will change the way you look at your business.
