Over seven luxurious days, I’ll walk you through how to grow your profile and position yourself as a go-to expert using speaking, awards, PR, podcasting and LinkedIn. It’s the perfect chance to get away, get some real help with your business, get to know other women running businesses, and have fun. A perfect mix!

Your home for the week

What’s included

Everything for the week except your flights.

A night of luxury in Manila

Your first night is in a Deluxe King suite in a five-star Manila hotel, so we can all meet and you can get over the flight.

Six nights in a private villa

Your own king-size ensuite executive bedroom in our 11-bedroom villa on Boracay, with a horizon pool and five staff just for us.

A small, intimate group

Only eight women will join us, so you get real time with Jules and with each other, and make lifelong friends and supporters.

Work on your business, not in it

Intimate workshops on building your profile through LinkedIn, awards, podcasting, PR and more, plus one-on-one time with Jules (possibly beside the pool).

Time for yourself

Two-hour workshops on five mornings. The rest of the time is yours for your own work, fun and relaxation. Work as much or as little as you like.

Delicious food

All breakfasts and lunches and most dinners, catering for your dietary needs. We’ll also try a couple of the local restaurants.

Transfers

Return transfers between Manila airport and the hotel, and transport to the airport from Boracay for the trip home.

Island adventures

Paraw sailing, helmet diving and plenty of time to swim, sleep and enjoy the local delights.

Flights aren’t included. Read the retreat terms and conditions.

What women say about our retreats

“

I’ve never been big on retreats, but I signed up to go to Bali with Jules in June 2024. I knew it would be a fabulous time and I was 100% correct. The content of our sessions was excellent of course, but the real value for me was the connections and conversations with the other superwomen in the group. Everyone had so much knowledge and experience to share.”

Bronwyn Reid, Founder, 4T Consultants

“

A week in Bali with Jules completing structured sessions was great and what I expected. The bonus was sharing time with Jules and her energy and passion for women and her work, plus her generosity to have one-on-one sessions as needed. If you do one retreat, let it be with Jules: you’ll learn, you’ll laugh and you’ll make amazing inroads in your business.”

Your hosts

Jules Brooke, with Michelle Abitria

Jules is a PR expert, a LinkedIn Top Voice and the founder of She’s The Boss. She has spent years teaching business owners how to get free publicity, and she’ll work with you in the group and one-on-one all week.

Hi, I’m Michelle!

I was born and raised in the Philippines. I moved to Australia in 2011, but I’ve never really left. I’m back home all the time and I have a place here too.

So I know the Philippines like the back of my hand. I know where to get the best food, which spots are worth it and which ones are tourist traps. I can also help you say salamat like a local.

I’m the founder of Outsourcing Crew, an ethical VA agency I started in 2019. We now have around 100 team members across the Philippines. I also run a scholarship foundation named after my parents that helps students through college.

I love good food, good company and a bit of mischief. I’m so excited to show you my Philippines.

Questions

Something else you’d like to know? Email jules@shesthebossgroup.com.

Will all food and drinks be covered?

All breakfasts and lunches are catered for, plus at least four evening meals. All soft drinks are included.

What if I already have my LinkedIn, podcast or PR covered?

Then you can work on other parts of your business. Jules will be there to help when you need her, or you can use the time to work by yourself if you prefer.

Do I have to attend every workshop?

This is your time. Workshops are only on weekday mornings, and you can choose to have a lie-in or do something else on some mornings. Jules is free in the afternoons if you’d like one-on-one help.

Can I bring my partner or child?

This retreat is special because it’s just a group of women. You’re welcome to add a holiday with your partner or kids before or after it, but the retreat week is just for us. It’s your time out!

What are the payment terms?

You pay a non-refundable deposit of $1,500 + GST, and the balance is due by 30 March 2027.

To pay the balance in instalments, choose that option at checkout, or email Jules at jules@shesthebossgroup.com to set up a payment plan that suits you.

Inner Circle members get a code for $500 off the balance, making the retreat $4,499 + GST. Fees don’t include flights.

What happens after I pay? Will I meet the others before the retreat?

Once you’ve paid the deposit or the full price, you’re in! Jules will create a WhatsApp group and add you and the other women as they sign up. Closer to the retreat, she’ll organise some group Zooms so you can get to know each other.

Let’s go to the Philippines together.
