Vision Reinvention Workshop | Prework: Vision Worksheet
Before growth comes alignment. This opening workshop creates space to pause, reflect, and reset examining what's working, what's shifted, and where your values feel like they're pulling against each other rather than guiding you forward.
When ambition, responsibility, and heart collide, paralysis often follows. But that tension isn't something to escape, it's energy waiting to be harnessed. Through guided reflection and honest assessment of your current reality, you will discover how to transform internal conflict into forward momentum.
This workshop sets your clarity and direction for the entire retreat. You will uncover what truly matters in this season of leading your business and lay the foundation for decisions that feel purposeful, productive, and in integrity with who you are becoming.
8:30 PM - Onward
Enjoy the pool, hot tub, movie theater, network, sleep and relax.

Business Identity Development Workshop- Reinvention
Every successful agency has one driving promise: the work that keeps everything else flowing. In this workshop, you will uncover the one function, purpose, or commitment your agency cannot live without. You will learn how to identify it, protect it, and design your systems, team, and energy around what matters most.
Growth begins to feel focused, sustainable, and aligned with both your mission and your margins.

Mindset Workshop- Resilience
You are responsible for holding space for families in crisis, steadying caregivers under stress, remaining calm when your team is in need or struggling to perform. But who's holding space for you?
Compassionate leadership shouldn't require you to abandon yourself or your values. This workshop introduces The Empowerment Dynamic® a proven framework that moves you from reactive people-pleasing to intentional, empowered leadership.
You will learn to spot the difference between supporting others and absorbing their anxiety, between being kind and being complicit in your own overwhelm.
Through practical application and honest reflection, you will develop the courage for assertive communication, boundaries that protect without apologizing, and decision-making that aligns with your vision, even when it's uncomfortable.
You will discover how to integrate your business demands with your life needs, reduce the emotional load that's quietly exhausting you, and create systems that sustain your heart instead of hardening it.
Strong leadership isn't about doing more or caring less. It's about showing up fully grounded in who you are and what you're building: unshakeable, not unfeeling.

Communication Workshop- Resilience
Clear, honest communication is at the heart of every thriving nanny agency, but it’s not always easy. Whether you are guiding a caregiver through a tough moment, helping a team member overcome ambivalence, or navigating sensitive conversations with families, it’s normal to feel a little apprehensive.
This workshop is all about channeling that courage into practical skills. You will learn a proven communication framework built on curiosity and nonjudgment. This will make it easier to support your employees in reaching their goals, foster open conversations around performance, and handle difficult topics without defensiveness or frustration. Discover how the right approach transforms challenging conversations into powerful opportunities for connection, growth, and leadership.
Leave with actionable strategies for leading hard conversations with clarity, empathy, and confidence, so every discussion becomes a chance to strengthen your team, your client relationships, and your agency as a whole.

Commitment to Growth Workshop- Resolve
Growth often requires letting go: of outdated policies, mismatched clients, overcomplicated systems, or the belief that you have to do it all yourself. In Release to Rise, we will identify what’s weighing you down and keeping your agency from its next level of ease and impact. Through honest reflection and practical strategies, you’ll make space for stronger partnerships, better clients, and a more joyful business. Because rising isn’t about doing more; it’s about carrying less

Kind words from previous retreaters
CAN’T MAKE IT THIS YEAR?
GET ON OUR WAITLIST FOR THE NEXT RETREAT IN 2026!
FROM your host: megan metzger
With all the conferences out there, why am I hosting retreats?
The idea for MMC retreats began in 2018 after attending over a dozen conferences and even planning a few! I love that conferences bring together many nanny agency owners and staff members in one room to offer networking opportunities and idea-sharing.
However, after attending these conferences, I was always overwhelmed, tired, and had dozens of pages of notes that ended up in a drawer never to be looked at again.
So, I developed a way to achieve the same community atmosphere, but I wanted attendees to be able to dive deeper and walk away with customized and action-oriented plans.
Attending an MMC event means tapping into over 20 years of agency ownership experience and the insights gained from helping over 400 agencies succeed. With my educational and practical background in business and a Master's in Leadership and Organizational Development, I'm committed to continuous growth, both personally and for my agency and clients. I'm here to share all the secrets to success!
Our events feature expert guest speakers, providing a comprehensive experience to support you in various aspects of business ownership.
Described by many as 'life-changing,' our retreats are warm, welcoming, and focused on education. Join us and take your agency to the next level!
You don’t need to do it all alone…
We would be delighted for you to join us . There is a place for you in our mmc community.

Reimagining Your Agency’s Future
The best part of our work at MMC are our client and community retreats.
Our retreats are planned to give our attendees a fully-immersive experience. With customized itineraries, expert speakers, culinary delights, and stunning locations, our attendees learn all weekend—from the moment they arrive to well after they leave. These retreats are one of the greatest ways to form deep interpersonal relationships that improve businesses and change lives.
Offered in early spring (March-April) and early fall (September-October), MMC Retreats bring community members from across the world together. This is no ordinary business retreat: our mission is to provide a safe space to learn, grow, share, and transform. There is time for reflection, work, rest, and special surprises along the way. The amount you will accomplish in one weekend will surprise and delight you!
