About the Location
Old Town Scottsdale
Old Town Scottsdale is among the most vibrant and unique urban downtown centers in the American Southwest. Its pedestrian-friendly streets are home to world class art galleries, museums, restaurants, and retail shops...and when the sun goes down there is an exciting nightlife that awaits.
We are Jess Mireles and Lesley Vossenkemper, the creators of the R.I.S.E. Executive Women's Retreat.
Meet Your Facilitators
We’ve spent decades in high-pressure, executive level leadership roles including the founding and leadership of our own businesses. We understand and have lived the experiences of the tug of war between family, career, and how it feels when you begin to lose a sense of purpose or control over what you want and where you are headed. We see you. We were you. We know this journey can be lonely.
Drawing from our extensive mentorship and leadership experience in guiding countless women in their careers and professional development, Jess, a certified executive coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and I, have partnered to create a unique experience based on a deep understanding of the challenges and frustrations you face.
We encourage you to invest in yourself – so many are leaning on you. As is said in business, at times you need to “slow down to speed up”. That’s what this experience is designed to do. We look forward to supporting you and sharing in your journey!
