JULY 24–27, 2025 | BELT, MONTANA

 A Lux Retreat Built for Culinary Business Owners Who Are Done Playing Small

HOSTED BY CHEF DEB OXMAN

No BS Coaching. Real Results. For Culinary Pros Who Are In It to Win It.

You’ve built something. You’ve put in the hours, the sweat, and the late nights. You’re not new to the game.

But if you’re being honest?
You’re ready for something more.

Better positioning.
Bigger margins.
A brand that finally reflects the business you’ve actually built.

That’s exactly why Chef Deb created this retreat.

Chef Deb Coaching has helped hundreds of culinary entrepreneurs across North America and the U.K. stop spinning, start scaling, and build businesses that work for them. Whether you’re a private chef, caterer, baker, product developer, or food entrepreneur with something to say… this experience is for the doers, not the dabblers.

“One year ago, after the workshop ended, I went up to her and broke down in tears. I was tired and exhausted, felt like I was doing something wrong, and not sure of the direction I was going. One year later, my business blossomed, with 5 new employees added to the Olive Branch team, soon looking to open my own kitchen space, and expand to grow my business even further.”

Jhonathan Rupchand-Kokotek

Founder, Olive Branch Culinary Services

This is not a wellness retreat. This is a business strategy reset with killer views. There are plenty of retreats out there. This isn't one of those.

This is where serious culinary business owners go to get unstuck, unlock premium positioning, and figure out what’s next. You’ll be coached by Chef Deb and work live with one of the top brand strategists in the country, Kelly Lucente.

You’ll Leave With:

A sharper brand that actually sells

Strategic clarity on where you’re headed

Messaging that commands respect (and rates to match)

A plan that aligns with the life you want to lead

A network of serious pros doing the work right beside you

FEATURING GUEST INSTRUCTOR: KELLY LUCENTE
Brand Strategist to Billion-Dollar Brands, Celebrities, and Founders Who Are Ready to Stand Out

Kelly Lucente is the creator of the RE-MARKABILITY™ framework, a brand system that’s helped everyone from Fortune 500 companies to scrappy founders build brands that don’t just show up… they take over.

With 30+ years of experience, 32 industry awards, and features in outlets like INC. and Minnesota Business Magazine, Kelly has built, scaled, and sharpened brands across every stage of growth. She’s guided billion-dollar businesses, mentored high-growth entrepreneurs at the University of Minnesota, and authored MOO-LAH-GY: Uncovering the Secret Cash Cow Hidden in Your Brand.

This workshop is typically reserved for corporate clients. SHIFT is the first time she’s bringing her full framework directly to culinary business owners in a hands-on, high-touch setting.

This isn’t theory. It’s high-level strategy applied directly to your brand so you leave with clarity that converts.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Your unique RE-DNA™ Archetype… a breakdown of how you naturally lead, influence, and differentiate
  • A clear, compelling RE-MARKABILITY™ Statement that communicates your value without overexplaining
  • A refined brand position and pricing narrative that backs your premium rates
  • A fully updated LinkedIn profile + professional bio that reflects your elevated brand identity
  • Real-time, personalized brand feedback from both Kelly and Deb
  • Tactical next steps to align your brand with your next level of growth

 

Because the brand you build should reflect the business you actually run, not the one you’re trying to outgrow.
