What's Happening
Tuesday, July 18 Evening - 5:30pm Start
We are kicking off with some Welcome Drinks on the night before the event at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. If you're flying in earlier that day, we'd love to see you there for a meet and greet mixer with Taki, Kiri-Maree, and the rest of the Black Belt and Boardroom gang! If you don't know anyone before you arrive, you're bound to walk out with some new friendships.

Wednesday, July 19 - Friday, July 21
The Intensive runs July 19-21. We start each day with an (optional) walk to (excellent!) coffee, from 7-8am. You'll have time to grab breakfast before session start at 9am (local time).

Sessions wrap up at 1pm each day.

In the afternoons, we'll have some optional fun water activities from 3-5pm to enjoy with your Black Belt and Boardroom peers, your business partners, or your spouse or family.
After some afternoon shenanigans, you'll have time to return to your hotel and get ready for dinner with the gang.

Wednesday, July 19 - Welcome Lunch
Right after the first day’s Intensive session, we’ll serve a delicious buffet-style lunch, giving you a taste of the Hawaiian islands. You'll get to mingle and meet other Black Belt and Boardroom crew while enjoying a super delicious meal.

Thursday, July 20 - Hawaii Dinner & Awards Ceremony
On Thursday night at 6pm, we've put together an incredible evening you can share with your Black Belt and Boardroom peers, friends, and family. We've curated a special experience, blending Hawaii's rich cultural heritage with some good old family-friendly fun. It's an incredible opportunity to connect with your peers, honour your achievements, and create fun memories to last a lifetime.

Saturday, July 22 - Boardroom Fun Day (Founders and Partners Only)
Our Boardroomers and Boardroom guests will enjoy an extra special day with Taki and Kiri-Maree. We'll start with a delicious breakfast, followed by a beautiful catamaran ride with lunch aboard, and have as much fun as they'll let us. This will be a relaxing day before you take off later that evening — we will wrap by 2pm.

Note: Fun Day for Boardroom founders and partners only. Because we intend it to be an intimate experience amongst Boardroom peers, we’ve made the decision to curate the experience for a smaller group that does not include team members, spouses or kids.
Intensive Sessions
Let's talk about the sessions we have planned.

First up, we have an incredible keynote session planned called Choreographing The Close with Simon Bowen. Whether we're using simple triangle models, or Simon's amazing genius model, the magic is in the method; the way we draw our models, is how we draw prospects into our world, and in this session, Simon's showing us how.

On the Attract side, we have designed a session specifically for slow prospects. Slow prospects want to opt in to your world first, and they need constant nurturing until they're ready to make a decision.

Nurture might be the most overlooked long-term marketing strategy because, well, it's slow. But in the long run, it could just be the most reliable contributor to your continued growth. We've been hard at work behind the scenes optimising our Weekly Client Machine and content strategies for nurturing, warm, and preparing future buyers to work with us — and man, do we have a ton of tweaks and upgrades to share.

Next, The Sensei Sessions, our favorite part of any event. We've hand-picked four awesome Black Belters and Boardroomers to share their best strategies for Attracting prospects, Converting clients, Delivering leveraged coaching, and Scaling their businesses.

We start with a super tactical, very practical, 10-minute overview of what they’re doing, a bit like a TED talk. You’ll watch all three of these so you can pick which session will be most useful for you right now. Then you can sit in on their 45-minute deep dive and find out exactly how they’re doing what they’re doing. (The catch: you only get to attend one live, so choose wisely!)

Here’s a sneak preview:
  • Jake Carter: Turning Chats Into Cash. Jake's killing it on Instagram, scaling a million dollar coaching business in just over 18 months. Jake's showing us how he did it, and sharing all the tools and resources you need to do it too.
  • Toni Bache: Authentic Content Creation with AI. Toni's sharing her playbook for turbocharging ChatGTP, accelerating your content creation — 10x faster than before — all while sounding authentically like you at your best.
  • Josh McKiterick: The Green-Line Onboarding System. Long-time Black Belt friend, Josh McKiterick is sharing his best-practice tips, tactics, and techniques for turning brand new clients into model program citizens. Specifically, how to get them taking *immediate action*, taking responsibility for their own results, and sticking around for the long term.

The Mastermind Session is going to connect you with smart cats in Black Belt and Boardroom who are running 6 and 7 figure coaching businesses. One of us is not as smart as all of us, so let's put our heads together and help you break through your current stuck point.

If you're in Black Belt, we're going take everything we've learned and translate it into a 6 Week Gameplan for your business on Day 3. We’re going to identify the one thing that can make the biggest difference for you and your business in the next 6 weeks.

If you're in Boardroom, we will split off into Boardroom-only sessions on Day 3. We have a very special guest, George Bryant, joining us live in Hawaii for a session called Relationships Beat Algorithms. George is an expert on nurturing relationships that create clients for life. He's going to share how to design intentional customer connections that go beyond the transactional to become transformational.

Lastly, we're hosting a couple roundtable Q&A panels — where you get to decide the topics most relevant for you.

Things To Do
If you’re looking to plan some activities and fly solo/with your family before or after the event days or during the afternoons, here are some options:
Childcare Options
We’ve sourced some great local options for childcare if you’re looking for a little extra help during our Intensive sessions.
What To Bring
It’s Hawaii so you’ll want to pack swimmers, reef-safe sunscreen, bug repellant, beach shoes and comfortable walking shoes. The chance of rain is low!

If you’re planning on doing some of the hiking trails nearby, remember to pack runners.
What To Wear
We’re pretty casual. We’ll be workshopping, walking and moving throughout the day so make sure you’re comfortable. Bring a change of clothes for dinner–some venues don’t allow flip flops so you might want to bring a back up option!
FAQ’s
Q: My team member(s) is coming. What do they get to participate in?

A: Fantastic! We are happy to host your team members. They will be able to participate in all the regular programming, including the Intensive sessions and any activities and meals we have planned.

If you are in Boardroom and you are bringing a team member, they will stay with Black Belters when we split off into separate event spaces on Day 3 - July 21.
