Event Specifics

Why is it called “Deeper Weekend” when it’s during the week?
Great questions! We ask that you come to this event with a “weekend mindset”…stepping aside from the day-to-day work IN your firm for a few days to work ON your firm and the leader you want to be. Read about “Owner Rest” here.
Who is Deeper Weekend for?
Deeper Weekend is for the firm owner rekindling their founding vision, seeking breakthrough growth, needing strategic clarity, or breaking through leadership isolation. If you are a firm owner or leader navigating the profound responsibility of organizational transformation, Deeper Weekend is your intentional gathering space.
What will I get?
You will receive 2 days of deep strategic learning and networking with other firm owners and leaders. You will also have opportunities for deep discussion with other leaders who are running firms just like you, as well as Q&A time with our speakers. Oh, and if you need CPE, we have you covered!
Who are the speakers?
  • Jason Blumer, CPA
  • Scott J. Allen, Ph.D.
  • Alice Grey Harrison, APR
  • Julie Shipp
How do the sessions work?
Sessions will be in a teaching format as well as some breakout groups for more intimate discussions. At the end of day 2, there will be opportunity for Q&A with the speakers.
What happens after the event is over?

When Deeper Weekend is over, you will walk away with many ideas about what the future of your firm could be, but we encourage you to focus on one or two to actively work on as you return home.

If you are looking for long-term support from other firm owners just like you, we encourage you to join Thriveal. We can also hook you up with an accountability partner to walk through your goals together.

You can also get one-on-one coaching with Jason and Julie for more specific support with accountability after the event.

Will I earn CPE for this event?
Yes! At the end of each day, you will have the opportunity to fill out the survey for CPE. Certificates will be emailed to your registered email address within one week.
