What You Can Expect:
-
Clarity on Vision & OKRs:
We’ll guide you through the process of defining your business’s ultimate vision. Then, we’ll help you break that vision down into actionable objectives and measurable key results (OKRs). This is where the magic happens—by linking your goals to specific results, you'll have the framework to turn your vision into reality. -
Strategic Planning with OKRs:
Using the OKR model, we’ll develop your Strategy House with clearly defined strategic pillars of success. You'll walk away with a structured, practical framework that will align your team and your business around the most impactful goals. -
Real-World Application & Workshops:
On Day 2, we shift from theory to action. You'll take part in hands-on workshops where you’ll design your communication plan and bring it to life. This isn’t a retreat where you leave with a massive to-do list and a notebook full of notes. We give you dedicated time to test your plan in a safe, supportive environment, get feedback, be challenged, and refine your approach. By the end of the retreat, you will have a clear roadmap and actionable tasks you can implement immediately. -
Practical Tools for Communication:
We’ll dive into how to communicate your vision clearly and effectively with your team—both internally and externally. You’ll develop a comprehensive communication plan that will ensure everyone in your business understands and is aligned with your vision. You’ll leave with a strategy for driving momentum and engagement across all areas of your business.

"Action is the foundational key to all success."
– Pablo Picasso
Why This Retreat is Different:
We believe that having a clear vision is crucial for business growth, but without real, practical steps to implement it, that vision is just a dream.Â
This is not just another retreat where you walk away with a stack of notes and a head full of ideas that you never get to implement, we focus on action.
This retreat is for business owners, either on your own or with your right hand person, who are ready to step away from the daily grind and focus on building a business that drives results.
Over the course of two days, you'll not only create a clear vision for your business but also craft the roadmap and the tools you need to implement it and communicate it with confidence.
You will leave with:
- A clear vision for your business
- Your own strategy house and pillars of success based on the OKR model
- A communication plan tailored to deliver your vision
- Actionable tasks and a roadmap to implement straight away
What You’ll Get:
-
Day 1:
We’ll start by defining your vision and breaking it down into strategic pillars. You’ll create your Strategy House and begin to outline the OKRs that will guide your business forward.- Clarity on your vision and business goals
- Strategic planning with actionable OKRs

-
Day 2:
It’s all about execution. You’ll design your communication plan, test it in real-time with feedback from peers and refine it to perfection. -
