Kind words from previous retreaters

  • MMC retreats are absolutely wonderful! This retreat is an opportunity to learn and meet like-minded agency owners. Some of my closest friends are women who I met at a retreat. If you are able to attend an MMC retreat, I highly encourage you to do so!

    AMANDA W.
    The Nanny Avenue

  • Megan's retreat was life-changing. Simply put. The amount of information and resources I walked away with is invaluable. It's a space where there isn't ego or competition. Just women coming together to share and in this time and hour it was SOO needed. We laughed and we cried-- and asked all of the questions! Megan does NOT stop consulting-- she was constantly answering our questions (even when we were out of session) and gladly! I felt the retreat was worth every penny--in fact it's honestly a steal! Bonds were forged, friendships were made, and businesses were advanced. Thank you Megan for your self-lessness and commitment to seeing women thrive in this industry!

    DENISE B.
    The Bundled Baby

  • Thank you, Megan, for creating your retreats. I had the best time and enjoyed meeting all the nanny agency owners. It was such a great experience and I loved all the sessions that you and your guest hosted. I definitely had a great take away and I came back to work with new ideas to implement and make my agency better. I loved learning from the older agencies and the new agencies, everyone was so kind and welcoming. The food was amazing too!

  • Invest in yourself

    I stepped out on a whim and headed for a city I’ve never stepped foot in to meet new people in my industry, to grow and reset. Megan Metzger provided just that, if not more! Thank you for being so welcoming and pouring your heart into each of us! These memories will last a lifetime and will forever be stamped in my heart!!

    So if you have not already invested in yourself and the growth of your business, please do it!
    You will NEVER regret it!

    ABBEY G.
    Sandhills Nanny Co.

  • I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the experience you created at the retreat. I learned so much personally and professionally. I had been nervous for weeks about leaving my son, and I can honestly say you (and the team) were just so kind and welcoming that I truly felt okay being away. Plus, we were the perfect amount of busy!

    Never have I had so many a-ha moments in a single weekend. I just can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful experience. I will cherish it.

    BRENLEY H.
    TOP VIP Agency

  • I headed out early too and so sorry I couldn’t say bye.

    Thank you all for such a beautiful, collaborative, and supportive weekend! It was so nice meeting so many amazing women and seeing all of you. Thank you, Megan for bringing all of us together. This was an amazing retreat!

    DENIZ H.

  • It's more than just a business retreat! You'll receive insights into your business of course, but you'll also receive insights into yourself as well. Maybe you are thinking of making a big change and aren't sure if you're ready; go to the retreat! Maybe you are working through a major problem with your business that's causing stress; go to the retreat! Maybe you are feeling isolated and uninspired by your business; go to the retreat!

    ANONYMOUS 7.0 SURVEY RESPONSE

  • It is a wonderful investment in your business, you'll leave feeling like you can really take the steps and action plan to improve and grow. Plus you'll be surrounded by people who are truly invested in the industry and can help you further.

    ANONYMOUS 8.0 SURVEY RESPONSE

  • I had the privilege to attend the MMC Retreat 5.0 It was definitely one the best experience l have ever had! From the location, atmosphere, Megan and her team's hospitality, the opportunity to meet other like minded individuals and workshops tailored to what l was experimenting at the moment without realizing. This retreat really allowed me to truly accept the burnout I was facing but did not want to admit to myself. It was also a reaffirmation retreat to myself of my agency and goals moving forward into the year. This retreat overall was able to bring me the clarity I needed at the moment!

FROM your host: megan metzger

With all the conferences out there, why am I hosting retreats?

The idea for MMC retreats began in 2018 after attending over a dozen conferences and even planning a few! I love that conferences bring together many nanny agency owners and staff members in one room to offer networking opportunities and idea-sharing.

However, after attending these conferences, I was always overwhelmed, tired, and had dozens of pages of notes that ended up in a drawer never to be looked at again.

So, I developed a way to achieve the same community atmosphere, but I wanted attendees to be able to dive deeper and walk away with customized and action-oriented plans.

Attending an MMC event means tapping into over 20 years of agency ownership experience and the insights gained from helping over 400 agencies succeed. With my educational and practical background in business and a Master's in Leadership and Organizational Development, I'm committed to continuous growth, both personally and for my agency and clients. I'm here to share all the secrets to success!

Our events feature expert guest speakers, providing a comprehensive experience to support you in various aspects of business ownership.

Described by many as 'life-changing,' our retreats are warm, welcoming, and focused on education. Join us and take your agency to the next level!

MMC 9.0 Retreat Sponsor In Residence

The best part of our work at MMC are our client and community retreats.

Our retreats are planned to give our attendees a fully-immersive experience. With customized itineraries, expert speakers, culinary delights, and stunning locations, our attendees learn all weekend—from the moment they arrive to well after they leave. These retreats are one of the greatest ways to form deep interpersonal relationships that improve businesses and change lives. 

Offered in early spring (March-April) and early fall (September-October), MMC Retreats bring community members from across the world together. This is no ordinary business retreat: our mission is to provide a safe space to learn, grow, share, and transform. There is time for reflection, work, rest, and special surprises along the way. The amount you will accomplish in one weekend will surprise and delight you!

FAQs

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT ANSWERS

  • No problem! After you register for the retreat, you will receive a confirmation email. In this email, there is a quick food survey to let us know about any allergies or restrictions you may have. We always ensure to have vegetarian options with each meal.

  • Our MMC retreats are known to be in luxury spaces with fancy food because we believe that you should be pampered and in an environment that allows you ample space to learn. Our retreats are NOT a party, they are professional gathering of growth-minded individuals who are open, caring, and willing to help one another. MMC retreat attendees have described their experiences as “encouraging, relaxing, tons of learning, a place to create true friendship, and even life-changing.“

  • Unfortunately, there are no refunds. This is because there are a lot of details and logistics to plan and book in advance. Last minute guest changes are difficult to accommodate considering the number of rooms, beds, catered or chef-prepared meals, dietary restrictions, and all the activities.

  • There are only six participant spaces available for this MasterMind Retreat.

  • We want you to be comfortable and yourself. There is no need to dress up unless that is how you show up best. Our one request is proper attire during the sessions. This helps ensure you are prepared and ready to learn. Please refrain from wearing pajamas, bathing suits, or inappropriate clothing to the sessions.

  • We've prepared an information sheet with all the retreat policies ahead of time. We want to make sure you and everyone else has the best possible experience at the retreat!
