“For the longest time EAs were told they could never become Chiefs of Staff. I called BS. As a top-producing, veteran, C-suite EA I knew I had the relevant experience and acumen, had taken decades of really good notes watching the game-changing CEOs I’d supported, and had far more internal capital than any Exec in the building. In one year I proved everyone wrong. Now, I’m circling back to help others do the same and put an end to the false narratives…
for good.”

    Maria Jenkerson

FAQs

  • All workshops take place in the Central Business District in each city on the tour. This is to allow easy access to public transportation, parking, hotels, shops, and restaurants for those traveling in to attend the session. Once a specific location is identified, attendees will be notified well in advance in order to plan their travel and accommodations.

  • Unfortunately, no refunds will be issued for this workshop so note this. However, you will be eligible to attend the workshop in another city or a combination of the online version and anything offered in EA(3x) that equals to the value of the ticket purchased. We will make accommodations to make sure you don’t lose money on the transaction.

  • All EA(3x) venues comply with the cleanliness and health standards set forth by the local governments within which they do business. Additionally, attendees are encouraged to wear any protective devices that allow them to feel comfortable and safe during the session. No judgment whatsoever!

  • While we understand that Saturday classes can sometime impinge on plans, we encourage you to register only if you able to attend the entire workshop. As we will be working in groups and assigning very specific roles an early exit can throw off the balance of the group resulting in a less than optimal experience for the rest of the members. If you have a conflict, it’s best to pass on registering. The online course of this workshop will be available in July 2023.

  • Absolutely! Phoenix Normand workshops are known for their “fancy lunches.” Some of the best conversations and connections happen at lunch when everyone shares their experience, connect on topics, and discover more about one another’s journeys that led them to the workshop. Plus, there’s always champagne, so…

  • Just something to take notes with…be that your laptop, iPad, mobile phone, or good ole pen and paper. OH! And your undivided attention.

  • Absolutely! The presentation will be shared at the conclusion of the session to each attendee’s email address.

  • Phoenix Normand workshops are full immersion escapism based on real topics, real strategies, based on real success. This is no watered-down, copy-and-paste, EA seminar. Each workshop is different, dynamic, researched and tailored to match the local market, current business trends and practices. Workshop sizes are intentionally kept small and focused so that everyone has a voice and can share their unique point-of-view so that participation happens eagerly, organically, and honestly. In aggregate, we share our asses off and learn in a way that’s “sticky” with the highest curriculum retention and success rates in the industry. Think “mastermind” vs. “conference.”

  • Yes, but only for those who purchase a seat prior to January 31, 2023. For those purchasing a ticket to a live event after January, 31, 2023 a discount will still be available and a coupon code issued at the end of the successfully attended workshop.
