You get a beautiful space to focus on what you want to manifest in this life and what you have to let go of to get it. We will guide you through a process that results in a road map for you to execute your plans. We’ll help you identify an accountability cabinet within your network. Our sole (and soul) purpose is to help you name what you want to be doing in this life, help you unlock what’s getting in the way, and guide you through a process that results in a plan for you to get there.
We identify beautiful resorts that inspire levity and imagination. Each participant has their own space. We arrange transportation from the destination’s arrival airport to the resort. We also cater meals during THE DASH experience.
No. All participants are responsible for their flights to and from THE DASH city. Upon arrival at the destination airport, THE DASH team will cover transportation to and from the villa.
THE DASH was created and is led by Lisa Yancey, a strategist, entrepreneur, lecturer, and senior advisor to institutional leaders across the United States. This concept emerged from a life lesson gifted to Lisa by her mother, Betty Yancey.
At a moment when Lisa was at a crossroad that would decide a key direction in her life, her mom said, “Life is the dash.” “What?” Lisa asked quizzically. Her mom continued, “You have your birth date, and you will have your death date. Life is the line in between.” The Dash, Lisa mused. “You must decide what you want your dash to be,” she punctuated.
That advice has led Lisa around the world. Her consulting firm has advised hundreds of organizations over the past 22 years—many with repeat engagements. She’s currently a lecturer of strategic planning at Yale University and has conceived a myriad of strategies and strategic planning frameworks that have brought bold visions to life.
THE DASH is for those who are ready to name the thing (or things) they most want out of their lives and to go after it without abandonment. It’s for those who are ready to step up, confront the fears and doubts, and push past the procrastination that gets in their way. With a plan and accountability community, the DASHER is ready to do what it takes to live in the light of their purpose.
Your will and determination. Be ready to experience a blend of truth-telling, fear, anxiety, exhilaration, peace, relaxation, and triumph. Be comfortable. We’ll gather for dinner at night.
