A little late to this one, but some things take time to put into words.
I’ve been to a couple before, but the French Riviera retreat was entirely different. Slower, more intentional, more human. The kind of experience that shifts you, not just in business, but in how you see the people around you.
There was space for real conversation, the kind that goes deeper than surface-level networking. Ideas that challenged the way I think. Moments that caught me off guard. And connections that turned into something much more meaningful, some even bringing tears as we opened up and really saw each other.
Within days, and we were already planning a reunions & trips… which says everything.
Set against the beauty of Côte d’Azur at waking up each morning overlooking the Mediterranean, with views stretching toward Monaco & Italy it didn’t feel real half the time.
Yes, there were the parties and the Engage fashion briefs (always), but this one went deeper. It reminded me why community & the people in this industry matters so much. Grateful for every conversation, every late night, every new friend. This one stays with me. And shout out to the best roommates & and our fourth roommate: our two floor suite with unparalleled views. Next post will be a reel of our outfits & the themes.
