Come design and build a strong, effective
plan to grow your business, book or movement at
The Widest Net Retreat
LIVE in Mesa, Arizona
February 16-19, 2023
Have you felt overwhelmed or fragmented designing a bold marketing plan and strategy for your
business, book, or movement?
At the K'é Main Street Learning Lab (pictured below!) we know that solving big challenges and growing new opportunities require an engaged, active, passionate and talented community. At The Widest Net Retreat, you and 11 peers will work together with Pam and a talented team of experts to design and implement The Widest Net Method for your business, book, project or movement. You will walk away clear, organized and surrounded by peers who will support your implementation.
The retreat design is based on Pam's most recent book The Widest Net which won Best Sales and Marketing Book of 2021 from Porchlight Books. This methodology has helped Pam's clients earn millions of dollars in revenue, build visibility and thought leadership, affect deep equitable change, and build powerful, sustainable revenue streams.
Our very first cohort, pictured below, set the bar pretty high, as they were open, engaged and wildly supportive of each others' dreams and goals. I can't wait until you meet your February cohort peers!

Not your Typical retreat!:
A true live community learning lab
I have led scores of successful retreats, hosted in wonderful locations and hotels.
But I have never had the opportunity to share my live, vibrant downtown home ecosystem, complete with interesting people, businesses and stories.
You will learn by exploring, testing, building and creating with retreat participants as well as community members.
My goal is to make you fall in love with local community building as much as virtual community building. The great food and beautiful locations won't hurt either!
Resources at the Retreat, and Beyond
The Widest Net Retreat is a live, in-person event that will walk you through designing the entire
Widest Net Method for building your business, resulting in clarity about your ideal customer avatar,
specific ideas for referral partners, selection of your specific marketing channels and content,
and an actionable 12 month plan.
As takeaways, you will get a full printed workbook to build your plan, electronic copies of all worksheets, a Tiny Marketing Actions Playbook, 100 TMA recipes and a follow up 90 minute group call 30 days after the retreat.
