The Success Summit
Reimagining Success on Your Terms
October 4-5, 2024
New York City
The Success Summit is for women with a track record behind them and a BIG dream in front of them.
Does this sound familiar…
You’re so busy yet bored.
You keep asking, Is this it?
You’ve accomplished so much in your career but still want more.
You keep trying to outrun your work at the cost of your fulfillment and freedom.
It’s time to stop hitting the snooze button on your BIG dream.
Rise and shine to joy, impact, and impossible possibilities.
This is NOT a retreat.
We don’t retreat - we expand.
The Success Summit IS NOT your typical, hype-you-up-in the-moment business conference that is totally forgotten the following Monday when the alarm wakes you for your default, rinse and repeat, survival mode.
The Success Summit IS a 2-day immersion unlike anything you’ve experienced in the personal and professional development track. (RESULTS below)
It’s real-world work with sustainable tools and breakthrough results, building your muscle around the quiet, next-level success you crave.
Do you hear the whispers of your big dream calling?
Join us for an immersive, in-person development experience designed to teach what you need to create a life of success
on your terms.
You deserve a life
that you don’t need a vacation from.
A life where you:
-
Spend more time doing what you love
-
No longer feel stuck or “meh”
-
Stop grinding at the expense of happiness
-
Let go of confusion and overwhelm
-
Feel joyful creating the life you want to live
-
Believe your impossible is actually possible
-
Get into and remain in forward motion
-
If that's YOU, join us at The Success Summit
This is all inclusive- including REAL LIFE tools for your future self.

Give yourself permission to raise the bar for your dreams.
Spots are limited.
Note: Hotel not included
We’ll escape to Luminary’s bespoke HQ in the heart of NYC for two days.
After hosting events from Maine to Texas, we intentionally designed The Success Summit for our metro NY community and expressed the desire for dedicated “me time” without the travel.
We are thrilled to partner with Luminary and its founder, Cate Luzio. Luminary has thousands of members and events focused on uplifting, upskilling, and propelling women forward through their professional journeys.
It’s the perfect location for us to gather with inspiring, like-minded women like you.
We are stronger together!
The Success Summit Agenda:
Day 1: Your Awakening
You can’t create a personal vision for your success until you acknowledge what makes you YOU.
What holds you back
What lights you up
What gives you purpose
Say goodbye to the same old excuses and pesky roadblocks.
Day Two: Becoming
It's time to get ambitious: Making your impossible inevitable.
You’ll craft a plan for your big dreams and harness the mindset to make them a reality.
This becomes the roadmap for the life you want that’s fulfilling, meaningful, and impactful.
You’re not just setting goals–you’re aiming for extraordinary!
Ready to level up beyond the usual grind of money and titles?
You’ll leave the SucCess Summit glowing with:
RENEWED energy (because burnout is so last season)
UNSHAKEABLE belief in yourself (you’re more than your LinkedIn Profile!)
A deep CONNECTION with your true self (no more settling!)
Knowing you DO deserve MORE (time to claim it!)
The TOOLS to silence that annoying inner critic (bye, bye doubts!)
A VISION of what SUCCESS truly means to you…
…And an achievable roadmap to get there!
Now, it’s your turn to register and claim your spot.
No more hiding behind PERFECTION as your PROTECTiON.
TRUSTING yourself and your superpowers
QUIETING the negative self-talk and messy mind
ACCEPTING what you can & can’t control
Your past self
will thank you
This is an investment in YOU for life-changing, whole-life success.
Don’t just take our word for it; listen to how it’s changed others.

Favorite class to teach: Dance & Sculpt
When not at DB: I’m teaching children's dance classes or hanging with my pup.
Go-to playlist: When I'm in the zone, Pumped Pop; when I want to chill, Postmodern Jukebox.
My tag-line is: Smile through the pain...I swear it helps.
I’m known for my: Booty Mat Work! Hate me in the moment and love me later.
I feel powerful when: I’m making a positive difference in someone's life and bringing out their greatest potential. Plus, I strive to make at least one person smile a day!
I give back by:Giving when I can to an organization called Social Tees. I absolutely love animals and rescued my pup from them. They place animals from high kill shelters into loving homes.

I'm the one who cheers for the underdog. With a winning mindset, unwavering focus, and meticulous preparation, I believe anything and everything is possible. Throughout my career, I've been drawn to roles that push the boundaries of my resilience, challenging me to uncover opportunities where others may not.
What I've learned from the C-Suite, leading organizations like Univision and working for visionary leaders like Deepak Chopra, is that I thrive in the trenches alongside my team and fearlessly embrace challenges when everything is on the line. There's nothing more rewarding than inspiring individuals to unleash their superpowers operating at full potential. This empowerment gives us the confidence to conquer the greatest challenges.
My journey includes building and overseeing multi-billion-dollar media businesses, managing a portfolio of premier multicultural brands, steering consumer companies in the health and wellness sector and supporting CEO’s and management teams in the boardroom. While navigating diverse company structures—public, private-equity, early stage, founder-led —a common theme has been mission-driven businesses and championing the underrepresented.
I am a firm believer that companies and teams flourish in the presence of organizational equity and cultures prioritizing customer and employee well-being. The guiding principle of my career is that we do well by doing good. This philosophy has never failed me. In fact, it has expanded my professional horizons. Leading with purpose not only allows us to pursue big goals but also enables us to achieve great success. It is my formula for 10x’ing whole life fulfilment.

The Story of The Kite
We first crossed paths 15 years ago during our daily commute into NYC. As NJ Transit regulars, we didn’t just share a train; we formed a deep connection and an invaluable sisterhood during those 45+ minutes each day. Both of us were highly accomplished C-Suite executives with closets full of designer merchandise and platinum spending accounts, yet we bonded over a mutual longing for something more—something beyond labels or price tags.
Over the years, life took us in different directions—career pivots, relocations, a cancer diagnosis, raising children, and navigating a global pandemic. But a couple of years ago, we reunited with a renewed sense of purpose, determined to combine our passions and experiences to create something impactful. This led us to expand on the effective platform Christina had built as a high-performance coach and consultant, combined with Tonia’s valuable insights as a CEO in the health and wellness sector.
Our initial focus was on creating transformation experiences we call Women Salons. The powerful life-changing results from our attendees inspired us to double down. Today, we not only lead women’s empowerment summits, both in person and virtually, but we also work with enterprise clients, helping executives and leadership teams achieve organizational success.
At The Kite, we are obsessed with the human mindset and its transformative power. We believe that awareness and imagination are the keys to shaping a mindset for success. Our company is dedicated to unlocking the greatest potential in all of us. With our combined professional and life experiences, we are uniquely positioned to serve those in pursuit of growth, both personally and for their businesses. We’ve lived the marketplace challenges that impact all sectors and company profiles, and we understand what it takes to succeed.
Bottom line, we’ve been there—and we’re here to help you soar.
Warmly,
Tonia and Christina 🪁🪁
Remember, success is an inside job.
No more hitting the snooze button on your big dream. 💪🌟

It’s fair to say everyone shares your concern. We intentionally are making this a small, intimate group. Participants will be asked to commit to the program's safe, confidential, no-judgment policy. That means no sharing with others or on social media without permission.
Having worked with hundreds of high-achieving women, we know that we are all more alike than we are different. Our clients have shared with us that learning this on the first day made opening up easier and more rewarding.

The name ‘the glass ceiling’ has a higher purpose. It is a metaphor that has long been used to represent the invisible barriers that prevent women and underrepresented communities from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy.
The Glass Ceiling is a beautiful rooftop restaurant with a stunning glass ceiling sitting atop the city skyline in the heart of Nomad, Manhattan. The Glass Ceiling is a “secret garden” in the sky. Featuring indoor and outdoor seating, show-stopping views of the Empire State Building, and an escape from your everyday urban routine.
