Come Home.
An Executive Retreat Experience
For leaders ready to come home to themselves.
January 2027 in Charleston. Two days. Fifteen seats.
Reserve your seatYou have carried every AI question this year.
Your board asks about AI. Your donors ask. Your team makes AI decisions every week, with or without a policy. You carry those questions into every meeting and rarely get one quiet hour to think them through.
Good AI decisions need protected time. A 30 minute call wedged between two meetings will not produce a strategy. A conference keynote will not produce a roadmap. You need a quiet room, a clear framework, and two days away from your ordinary week.
Come Home gives you all three.
You have been moving. Here, you stop.
You have led through strategy sessions, budget cycles, hard conversations, and quarters where rest never made the calendar. You did the work well. What you have not had is space to decide what AI means for your leadership, with your real team and your real constraints in view.
Come Home is a two day retreat for women executives and founders. Friday evening gives you room to arrive and exhale. Saturday gives you a structured day to build your AI strategy. You leave with a roadmap shaped around your priorities, your people, and your vision.
You will not sit through keynotes. You will think, decide, and plan in the room.
A few years ago, I moved back to Charleston. The city had changed while I was gone, and so had I, yet the place still felt like home.
The leaders who last know how to come home to themselves. They step away, reset, reskill, and return to their work with something left to give. You come home to yourself first. Then you come home to your business.

Charleston. The Lowcountry.
Charleston keeps its own pace. Tidal marshes, quiet historic streets, and long dinners ask you to slow down, which is the purpose of these two days.
Come Home takes place in an intimate setting in or near downtown Charleston, close to the water and far from any convention center. Confirmed guests receive the full address and arrival details.
Where you stay
Your seat covers the retreat and every meal while you are with us. Lodging is separate, so you choose and book your own stay. Plan for Friday and Saturday nights if you travel in from outside Charleston.
Arrive first. Then decide.
Arrive. Settle. Begin.
Come in on your own time, settle into your stay, and join the group for a welcome dinner. An opening conversation follows, where you set down what you carried in and name what you want from Saturday. You go to bed knowing exactly what the morning holds.
Audit. Identify. Assign.
A full, unhurried day built on the AIA Framework. The morning covers Audit, an honest look at where you stand with AI and where your organization needs to go. The afternoon covers Identify and Assign, where your audit becomes specific decisions, matched tools, and a 90 day plan. You finish your roadmap before Saturday dinner.
The AIA Framework
Tanqueray built the AIA Framework for organizations needing results over theory. By Saturday evening, every guest completes all three phases for her own organization.
Audit
Where you stand today. You review your operations, team capacity, decision making, and current technology. Most AI efforts fail because they start with tools. Audit starts with clarity.
Identify
What AI should do for you. You match your audit findings to tools fitting your team, your budget, and your tolerance for risk. No generic lists.
Assign
Who owns what, starting when. You build a 90 day roadmap with named owners, defined pilots, and decision checkpoints.
Women who already lead.
Come Home serves women responsible for AI decisions inside their organizations.
- You lead a team, an organization, or a business, and AI decisions keep landing on your desk.
- You are past the introduction. You want time to think about what AI means for your work.
- You have left conferences with full notebooks and returned to Mondays looking the same as before.
- You value time with women who understand the weight of leading.
Five things leave Charleston with you.
Your AI leadership position
A clear statement, in your own words, of where you stand on AI and why. Every decision after Charleston builds on this.
Your 90 day roadmap
Specific decisions, pilots, and priorities for the next quarter, with named owners and checkpoints.
Your team impact plan
Where AI will change how your team works, who feels the change, and how you lead them through it.
A strategy built for you
Shaped around your team, your context, and your constraints. No borrowed templates.
A circle of peers
Fifteen women who shared the same two days in the same room. The relationships continue long after Charleston.
Fifteen seats. Two rates.
Every seat includes the welcome dinner, all meals during the retreat, and retreat materials. Lodging is not included. You book your own stay.
