PEACE in Power™: A Time to REST² is a data-informed retreat where women leaders recover their energy, reset their boundaries, and leave with a personal plan to lead without burning out.
Friday, December 4, 2026 | 9am - 5pm ET / 8am - 4pm CT | Live & Virtual
You're the one who holds it together: the team, the strategy, the hard conversations. But 60% of senior-level women report feeling consistently exhausted (McKinsey & LeanIn.Org), and most don't slow down until something forces them to.
This retreat is your chance to get ahead of it. In one day with Michele Shelton and four guest experts, you'll look honestly at your energy, mental health, conflict responses and physical wellbeing, and walk into the new year with a plan to sustain them.
Make REST² your next power move.

The cost of ignoring it isn't only your energy. It's your career.
✦ 60% of senior-level women report feeling consistently exhausted. (McKinsey and LeanIn.Org).

"Always on" has become the norm. It doesn't have to be yours.
High-performing women are often the last to notice they're running on empty. The data says it isn't a personal failing. It's a pattern.
Michele Shelton's REST² framework treats recovery as a non-negotiable leadership strategy, not a luxury.
"Michele is outstanding at helping you get back to your core, to your center..."
D.F., President & Chief Executive Officer
"I am eternally grateful to you for all the incredible work. I am a much better leader..."
P.D., President & CEO
A space where you don't have to perform. Join women leaders who understand the weight you carry and respect the strength it takes to carry it.
You'll feel seen, not judged.
Five expert sessions, informed by data and lived experience, on energy, mental health, conflict responses and physical wellbeing.
You'll leave with practical tools to strengthen your reserves in each area.
