Discover 2026

The new year started with an upbeat rush!

You mapped out your big, bold plans for conquering your summit.

You stocked your backpack with high expectations and determination…

… then you laced up your boots and headed up the trail.

Well done.

(Most people don’t even make it to basecamp!)

BUT…

You’re noticing a dip in your drive.

And it’s not just the winter blues.

What happened to all that bubbling energy and enthusiasm you had from the start of the yea

Instead:

[Deep sigh]

Don’t worry… this is all perfectly normal.

Remember: achieving ambitious goals is not a sprint, it’s a marathon climb.

And oh, what a view from the summit!

Here at Mountain Peak Strategies, we believe that if you want to achieve your personal and professional goals with minimum fuss and maximum results, then it’s essential that you:

Take time to RECHARGE regularly - you can't do everything you need to do if you're exhausted and overwhelmed
Course correct when necessary and REALIGN your plans in response to current events (there's no point sticking to the old itinerary after you've learned the bridge is out)
Surround yourself with the right support and inspiration to REIGNITE your mojo… get back in the game ready for action

The doors to the “Discover” Mastermind Retreat & Continuity Coaching Adventure are open!

This empowering and inspiring 3-day event will make sure that you get Q2 2026 off to an outstanding start.

This amazing getaway adventure + small group mastermind and coaching package was specifically designed for forward-thinking women leaders like you… women with ambitious goals, high expectations and determination.

We know you’re crazy busy (that’s part of the problem, right?).

That’s why the Discover Mastermind Retreat & Continuity Coaching Package is designed to make the most of your limited and valuable time, giving you the greatest ROI on your time and effort for the smallest amount of impact on your schedule.

Numbers are strictly capped at 10 so that I can guarantee you get all the personal focus and attention you need.

It was custom created to provide the perfect mix of location, learnings and experiences to breathe life into your purpose, vision and goals…

You can expect: wonderful, practical pearls of wisdom for refining and reaching your goals; time to unwind, relax and re-energize in this beautiful part of the world; and fun activities to spark your creativity and imagination.

And throughout… you’ll be updating and refining your “new and improved” plans for a brilliant second quarter of the year.

But, it doesn’t end there.

Okay, so there’s a thing we don’t often talk about in the self development space…

…which is the number of offers that promise the earth but totally fail to follow through.

You KNOW what I’m saying.

But that’s not happening on my watch. Period.

So here were my personal benchmarks when I was designing this mastermind retreat:

A) MUST give you practical, actionable tools to take home

B) MUST be fun, empowering and wildly supportive

C) MUST NOT leave you unsupported, or at a loss for how to implement in real life

Which is EXACTLY why I created this retreat as part of an all-round package designed to give you:

A suite of scientifically backed tools that will help you navigate the big and little obstacles AND opportunities you come across
An inspiring, creative, and relaxed learning environment in the mountain of western Maryland
PLUS a super-practical “continuity coaching” component, so that you have all the ongoing guidance, accountability and support you need to fulfill the promises you make to yourself.

So… wrapped around this astonishing 3-day event, you’ll ALSO receive:

1 x 60-min pre-retreat 1:1 prep session with Mozella… so she can ensure that you’re ready to make the absolute MOST of your time in Deep Creek Lake—and that the retreat is custom tailored to address your specific needs and goals.
3 x 60-min post-retreat virtual group mastermind sessions… To sustain your momentum, our virtual follow up meetings begin two weeks later, giving you time to process, take action, and come up with questions. You'll reconnect with your amazing climb-team (and wonder how you ever got along without this phenomenal group of women in your life) to give and get valuable feedback, and celebrate your wins.
1 x 60-min post-retreat 1:1 follow-up session—where you’ll be personally coached by Mozella as you overcome real-world implementation challenges. She’ll give you laser-targeted feedback, advice and guidance; and provide just the right amount of tough-love-kind-heart-accountability and encouragement to help you surpass your expectations and ACE your goals.

As you can see, this is NOT a typical mastermind…NOT a typical retreat… but actually the ideal balance of work + play to help you get a better balance of work + life.

Common wisdom says that if you have clear goals and a well-thought-out plan, you’re a shoo in for success.

But you’ve probably noticed that’s not the whole story.

We’ve all made goals, done “all the right things,” yet still fallen short of the results we wanted…

…because underlying belief patterns and habits have the power to either propel you up your mountains – or stop you dead in your tracks.

That’s why it’s SO important to prep your headspace for achieving your big, bold plans…

⇒ Pause.

⇒ Prepare.

⇒ Intentionally choose the things that PROPEL you up your mountain.

Join us to build your game-winning attitude that overcomes any obstacles in your path and sets you up to achieve (and even exceed) your goals.

Yes, it IS possible…you REALLY can have what you want, make a difference AND love the life you live.

It would be our honor to help you do that.

That’s exactly why we created this re-energizing mastermind retreat.

Gift yourself with this precious time away from the madness and breathe life into your goals and all the limitless possibilities that 2026 holds for you. You’ve earned it!

You’ll walk away with a backpack full of fresh perspectives and ideas, ready to start taking immediate action towards summiting YOUR peaks

What People Are Saying About Mozella...

Mozella is such an engaging speaker and storyteller … the right amount of wit, wisdom and thought-provoking exercises. An authentic voice that inspires the woman and leader within!

Lisa Bergeron, AWE Founder & Chief Visionary Officer

Mozella's talk is always so inspiring and unforgettable, it echoes like a poem deep in every leader's heart. Convincing and thoughtful.

Megumi Okugiri, Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics, Tokyo, Japan

Our leaders were so inspired by your story and how you helped us frame the change that is ahead in meaningful terms that allow for individual and collective action. Brilliantly done. Thank you!

Lidia Soto-Harmon, Chief Executive Officer, Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C

Absolutely remarkable and fantastic delivery! The impact of this talk will indeed add value to any organization seeking to equip its team and members.

Adeola Azeez, Chairperson 2011-2013, Women in Management, Business and Public Service, Lagos, Nigeria

Mozella, you and Nike are so right … “just do it!” The provocative question that continues to drive me: What would I do if I wasn’t afraid of failing? We as women haven’t been taught to value ourselves and consequently, we measure our worth by external reflections – we work too hard, over-extend, compromise, etc. What you offer is an opportunity to bask in our own light, stretch and grow, and work to prioritize ourselves. Again, thank you.

LM Jackson, Washington, D.C.

…. firstly let me say that I was in the audience last week at the Marriott Hotel (London, England) and the evening was inspirational … Your words touched my heart and opened me up again to embracing my creativity.

Leah Longville, London, England

Your opening was the best I have heard and was a joy to witness. I love the use of creative writing, storytelling and voice to draw us into this most important work. It was an honor to learn through you.

Elizabeth Ross Holmstrom, Mindful Employer, Portland Maine

Not only do you have the ability to unwrap people's hearts, but also to effortlessly realign them with their purpose, help them reveal their clarity of vision, and reawaken their faith in themselves.

Vladimir Mladjenovic, Director Founder at Tomorrow People Organization, Belgrade, Serbia

Mozella is a Trailblazer! I am inspired by her teaching and continue to be uplifted by her unrelenting desire to live her BEST life and guide others to do the same. Please continue to set the standard for women around the GLOBE!

P. Bundy, Washington, D.C.

I am honored to have learnt from Mozella and the brave great circle of powerful women. In this retreat, I was taught … I am motivated, inspired and empowered.

Dawn Hastings, Nairobi Kenya

“Love Is A Mountain” has become a very important part of my personal journey as a “nomad”. Every retreat strengthens me and helps me to keep moving forward.

Jacqueline K, Maryland

Loved it! I’m amazed by how seamlessly Mozella makes the transition from poetry to dialogue – author to great storytelling. What’s not to admire …?

Jean Bentley, Metropolitan Washington, D.C.

Spring; a time of vibrant growth, renewal and change… the perfect time to gather your thoughts, build resilience and psyche yourself up for an exciting second quarter.

We’d love you to come reflect, revise and relaunch your 2026 roadmap in the beautiful mountains of western Maryland with us this April…

…surrounded and supported by a hand-picked group of like-minded, like-hearted women with ambitious goals, high expectations and determination (just like you).

The focus of Discover is on making sure you get your habits, thoughts and belief patterns in lock step with your goals.

Go home ready for anything! Even the mundane.

Over the course of a weekend, plus follow-up coaching sessions, you will create better alignment between how you think and feel, and the concrete actions you take in real time to achieve your goals.

This exclusive, small group mastermind and continuity coaching package is designed to give you the time and space you need to uplevel your thoughts and intentions to fully support your goals (even, or especially, when the going gets tough).

You’ll leave:

With the science-based systems, tools & strategies you need to win
Brimming with energy, drive and focus
With your batteries fully recharged
Ready to triumph over any obstacles in your way
AND feeling crystal clear on your way forward

YOUR HOST, MOZELLA

Mozella is an international speaker, author, poet, attorney, transformational coach and adventurer.

For almost five decades, she has studied and practiced the time-honored wisdom of human development and transformation.

Summiting Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,341 feet, after her second attempt, gave her an extreme real-world experience of ‘failure and success’ and taught her how to help her clients step up to empowered action, overcome the obstacles before them, and reach their desired opportunities.   

Mozella earned her undergraduate and law degrees from Howard University. She is a member of the Bars of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and is admitted to practice before the United States Court of International Trade.

She brings her deeply wired global perspective and cultural appreciation everywhere she goes and to everyone she meets.

You’ll return from “Discover” with a backpack full of renewed energy, the fresh perspectives you need to stay on course to your goals (no matter what happens), and an updated map to help you summit your mountains with confidence and purpose.

Imagine:

Instead, you’ll return re-energized and ready to take on even the most daunting of challenges… and triumph.

You’ve got this.

What's my next step?

Is the Discover retreat calling your name? I’m so excited you’re thinking of joining us!

As you know, spots for this inspiring mastermind program are limited to only 10 participants. And when I say that it’s for “a hand-selected group of women,” I really do mean it. That’s why I like to have a short, private conversation with everybody who’s thinking of coming—to make sure that this mastermind retreat package is right for them, and they are right for it. All the details are on the registration page.

*If you’re already part of the Mountain Peak Strategies community, please log in HERE to lock in your special member bonus.

I’ve done “masterminds” before… what’s different about this one?

FYI: If you’re thinking, okay but I’ve done “masterminds” before but they haven’t really moved the needle for me… here’s why this is DIFFERENT.

Our Discover Package is an upgraded and expanded take on the garden-variety mastermind concept with the addition of:

A 2-day break away from the treadmill to clear your mind and get fresh perspective
Dedicated 1:1 personal coaching
Follow-up continuity and support
Plus an exciting and engaged community of like-minded professional women

Imagine how much more powerful masterminds can be when you have baked-in coaching, community, accountability AND ongoing support.

I’ve never done a mastermind… what is it?

If you’ve never participated in a mastermind before, you’re in for a treat! You’ll love the incredible synergy that results from many minds bringing their wisdom, experience and highest intentions to solving one issue. By the end of this program you’ll wonder how you ever managed without one.

Join us for three magical days away from the never ending busy-ness of your day-to-day life and career.

Immerse yourself in the boundless creative energy of Spring in the mountains — to re-energize your goals, dreams and vision. This breathtaking landscape, carpeted in ancient oak and hickory forest, overlooking the spectacular Deep Creek Lake, will inspire your spirit and delight your senses.

Here, you’ll not only have the time and space to gather your thoughts and refine your plans for the year ahead, but also to bask in the collective wisdom, loving guidance and support of a small, hand-selected group of the most amazing women you could hope to meet.
