CREATIVE STRATEGIC PLANNING--IDEA, VISION & ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT

​

Strategic Planning and Clarity

When a founder knows exactly who they are as a business (or organization), who they help, what they value, why their solution works, where they're going and how they're getting there....they create their goals faster. Confusion, unfocused actions and unclear direction sabotages growth. Strategic planning helps founders "clarify" their mission and vision, set strategic goals, define their strategic niche & positioning, solidify their identity, evaluate opportunities and create action plans. Strategic planning helps founders see the BIG picture AND see the small details of how to create it. Founders typically go through the strategic planning process upon start up, after a few years of passionately providing services, at a transition point, or as a result of significant changes.  If you feel stuck, unfocused or overwhelmed with what to do next then it's time to get experienced and fresh eyes to help you with your strategic plans.  This experience gives you the spark to start moving forward in a big way.

​

​

Idea & Vision Planning

Idea and Vision is about the creation process.  Coming up with your next big thing or fine-tuning an idea you currently have. Are you ready to start or revive a BIG idea, business or cause? We help your creative idea vision, purpose, development, naming, business development, 365 idea audit, ways to expand ONLINE, market research & idea revival.  We help you determine if your idea can be transformed into a business.  We help you find your new vision and create a strategy to get there--regardless if it's connected to your business or your life. We explore how your "business" vision aligns with your "life" vision--so you can create synergy between the two. We help you expand your ideas and vision--and then help you get there.

​

Focus and Clarity: Find Your Truu North

We work with you to uncover your purpose, passion and path--professionally & personally.  Our unique methods focus on creating an "organic" discovery of what your blind spots, barriers, fears, priorities and values are, which help shape what your passions are and why.  Your Truu North helps guide you personally, professionally and spiritually so you have an unobstructed view of your next steps, purpose and your vision for your life.  Without a clear distinction of your Truu North you'll feel lost, have a hard time getting things done, continue listening to other people's opinions about you and lack the motivation to "go all in" on your projects.

 

CHANGE AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT

For many organizations innovation and progress happens after change.  We help you discover innovative ways your organization can change in order to move towards the future.  The change can be in the culture, staff, systems, products/services, leadership, customer process, focus or direction.  We help you take a deep dive the areas that will help you move faster towards your goal and mission.  While helping everyone internally and externally understand why the changes are happening--and how it helps everyone. Big ideas, businesses and nonprofits "evolve" as grow and change is inevitable.  We help you identify where change is needed and how to smoothly make progress towards fulfilling your mission.

Inner Engineering for Founders

When you're leading a business or organization you need to feel confident that you can do it. In this area we focus on what's happening "inside" you.  This isn't above "fixing" or being your therapist trying to analyze your thinking, beliefs or thought processes, We help uncover and understand how your mind is working for you or against you, so you can begin to use it more effectively. We'll show you how your mind is more of a predictable machine rather than an unpredictable pile of cells.  If you don't fully understand this you will be confused and even overwhelmed because you're lost in your own thoughts and mind.  A confused mind doesn't move forward. Your mind is a tool and how it thinks & works is under your control. We show you how to become your own mind engineer.

​

Avoid the Entrepreneur/Founder Trap

Entrepreneurs have higher suicide rates, divorce rates and a higher incidence of mental health challenges than the average person.

We help show you ways to avoid this very serious dark secret behind being an entrepreneur.  We help you learn how to manage stress, intense stress, financial stress, high risk, failure and the devastating feeling of feeling trapped.  We also work with you on building and growing your "whole" life alongside your business and big goals.  We help you balance your entrepreneur goals with just as exciting LIFE goals.  We want your LIFE RESUME to be just as inspiring as your WORK RESUME.

​

Becoming a Soulful-Entrepreneur (in business & life)

Don't just rely on your mind to guide you & give you strength while you grow your BIG ideas, use your own intuition. Call it God, Spirit, Universe or Intuition it's the unseen gut feelings and messages that we feel telling us do this or don't do that.  It's about merging the mind and the heart to give you strength, guidance and belief in something more than ourselves. This isn't about religion this is just about you. Being an entrepreneur is hard and this "element" can empower our hearts when we feel alone during this journey.  We don't tell you what to believe we just show you the value of "tapping" into what "YOU" believe.
