2026 CFO Retreat: Ignite Your Leadership

Sunday, April 26, 2026 to Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Join MISBO and ThinqShift for an Immersive CFO Leadership Retreat

As a CFO in an independent school, you sit at the intersection of mission and margin—navigating financial strategy, operational complexity, and long-term sustainability. But where do you go to reflect, recharge, and grow as a leader?

This 3.5-day retreat—designed by ThinqShift and hosted by MISBO—is more than professional development. It’s a space for independent school CFOs to step back from daily demands, reconnect with their leadership purpose, and gain fresh insight into the future of finance and strategy.

Through immersive sessions and peer conversations, you’ll explore whole-brain leadership models like Thinq360 and the Fabulous Leadership Framework. You’ll examine global megatrends—AI, the VUCA world, shifting workforce expectations—and how they shape your role and your school’s future.

ThinqShift - Crafting Fabulous Leaders to Succeed and Invent the World!

You’ll leave with practical tools, deeper clarity, and renewed energy to lead with foresight, influence, and confidence.
