Private RARE Rooms™

Design your room.
Lead what happens next.

You want a client dinner that deepens relationships. A working studio where people practice explaining their value. Or a conversation that opens a new market. Work privately with Kristi to design an experience you or your team can lead.

Who will lead your experience?

Private RARE Rooms™

You lead. Kristi helps you design it. Private work for an individual or internal team with a real audience and business goal.

Shape the guest mix, invitation, conversation, and follow-through. Leave with a practical plan for the experience you will host.

Custom engagement fee. Your proposal defines the working sessions, plan review, materials, and support.

The private work

A useful room starts before the invitation.

Define the business purpose

Choose the relationship, customer, market, or communication goal. Decide who needs to be there and why the experience would matter to them.

Design what happens

Develop the format, guest criteria, invitation language, conversation flow, prompts, and next-step ask. Prepare to lead with confidence.

Build the follow-through

Plan the introductions, useful materials, next conversations, and measures. Review what happened and what to improve for the next room.

Your working plan: purpose and guest criteria, invitation language, room flow, facilitation prompts, follow-up, and a launch plan. Your proposal specifies which materials we develop together and which Lighthouse prepares.

You or your team host and operate the experience, including invitations, venue, hospitality, and production. Choose Pinnacle Powered™ when you want Lighthouse to design and facilitate it.

Choose the experience around the goal

The method travels. The purpose stays specific.

Client + partner dinners

Bring selected clients, prospects, and partners together for useful conversation and a clear next step. The Pinnacle Dinner™ shows the method in practice.

See the dinners + results

Communication + practice studios

Create a working room where people test their message, explain their expertise, and receive useful feedback. BetterStory Studio™ is this work in action.

Explore BetterStory Studio™

Market + leadership conversations

Hear from customers, bring potential partners together, or help leaders address a shared decision. Select the people and format for that specific job.

A sponsor can fund an experience in either delivery arrangement. Sponsorship is agreed separately from who designs, hosts, and operates the room.

What makes it RARE?

People who are generous with their relationships, willing to give and receive, and ready to open doors. People with expertise, great work, reputation, and something useful to contribute.

Big hearts. Big ideas. Big follow-through. We especially love the builders.

The method in use

Other leaders have brought their rooms to life.

Nicki Bland

Nicki developed her experience inside the Rare Rooms™ cohort, then refined it through private coaching. Her Washington National Opera experience sold out.

A September 24 Pinnacle Powered™ fundraising experience at Field & Main brought together 30 guests and raised $20,000 in support of Washington National Opera.

Donna / The Presence Room

Donna developed The Presence Room inside the cohort and refined it through private coaching. Her experience sold out.

These examples show the method being applied by other leaders, with continued private support where their work required it.

Five Pinnacle Dinners™

$5 million in business moved. The owned experiences demonstrate how curated relationships, useful asks, and follow-through can create commercial movement.

That is evidence of the method in practice. Cohort participants build toward their own goals; a specific revenue, attendance, or deal outcome is not guaranteed.

What do you want the room to make possible?

Tell us who you want to bring together, what needs to move, and your timing. Lighthouse reviews the fit and proposes your private engagement.
