Brand Strong Retreat
Create a meaningful and exciting 2019 plan for your business
while you relax and recharge to start the year strong. Brand Strong.
Each year, as you see December 31 more clearly on the horizon, between getting stuff done and putting out work fires, you start to indulge in thoughts of a fresh start and dream about having a productive next year in business.
But starting the new year doing business-as-usual will launch you into it without a thoughtful action plan, let alone a crystal clear vision for where you want to be a year from now.
You are truly excited to have a great 2019 and want to be intentional and productive this time around.
You love the OM approach and the whole Brand Strong Model system, but perhaps you haven’t yet mastered applying it. Or maybe you’re using parts and pieces, but want to go deeper in planning for and running your business with more holistic intention.
No matter where you are now, you want to go further with it and make sure you take adequate, focused time to plan out an incredible 2019.
I am thrilled to invite you to the second annual Brand Strong Retreat in Palm Springs, CA. Join me and other creative business owners in a beautiful private retreat space to get inspired and rejuvenate.
Enjoy a spacious schedule of guided reflection and effective planning exercises, while you get the accountability you need to plan your year. Share the experience and glean positive energy from a community of like-minded, driven business owners who are learning, sharing, and creating all around you.
This is how you will ensure that you create an ambitious and inspiring 2019 for yourself and your business.
The Brand Strong Retreat was a highlight of 2018 for last year’s participants.
Check out what some of them have to say about it:
“The first Brand Strong Retreat was such an important time for me to take a moment out of my regular day-to-day to reflect on last year and dream about goals for the next year…”
~Isobel Schofield, Owner, Bryr Clogs
“There’s something so powerful about stepping back and taking stock, celebrating wins that you normally wouldn’t even pause to acknowledge, and seeing where there is room for growth.”
~Giselle Gyalzen, Owner, Rare Device
“What I loved most [about the Brand Strong Retreat] was that I walked away with clarity and motivation that has propelled my business forward the entire year. I came with an idea about my goals for 2018 and quickly realized, like literally in the first 2 hours, that my business needed something else. It crystallized where my business needed attention, where I wanted it to go and gave me the tools to get it done. I’m not saying it was easy, but the retreat helped me create a roadmap for my year that intentionally guided and informed my business.
~Karen Forte, Owner, Mercy Vintage
Now is the time to give yourself a rare gift: Secure a spot at the 2019 retreat and finish the year knowing you will receive guidance and space to get clear and ready for the year.
What’s in store
–Time, space, and guidance to focus, plan, recharge, and get ready for your best year yet. You don’t need more tools, just time to work and plan with coaching and new insights to use the powerful tools you have, including intentional planning, time management, and mind management.
–Work and rejuvenate alongside a group of creative-minded, supportive Brand Strong graduates. No specific clarity, habits, or Brand Strong Model mastery needed. Give and get great insight, new perspectives, fresh ideas, and comforting support from other business owners who really understand what you go through as a business owner.
–2018 Reflection. With guided structure, you will reflect, celebrate wins, and learn from what didn’t work to take into next year’s planning.
–Brand Strong Model Refining. You and every other business is using the Brand Strong Model in different ways and finding your own benefits. You’ll review and refine your Model, and receive (and give!) tips, insights, ideas, and support as you get your Model where you want it for the coming year.
–Practice and get feedback on OMs, goals, time blocking, sprint planning, and big decisions you are currently making for your business.
–2019 Goal Setting and your 12-Month Plan. Set your business essentials goals to help you reach your 1-2 year time-bound goals. With helpful direction, map out next year to hit the ground running with focus.
–Individual and group coaching. Participate in guided exercises and some training to deepen what you already know, and a lot of time and space to work on your plan with me there to coach you as you work.
–Time between our work sessions to refresh inside and outside, in our beautiful, private group space.
–Eat delicious and healthy home-cooked meals and snacks, balance work and relaxation, enjoy the sun, and lounge by the pool!
This retreat will give you what you need to come back to work feeling inspired, prepared, and motivated for 2019. You will be set up for massive action and follow-through.
