Strategy & Planning

Strategy only works if people can live it. That’s why we design workshops and executive sessions that translate big ideas into aligned action — and keep leadership focused on what matters most.

My goal is to help you build a plan that your people believe in, own, and know how to move forward with.

Maybe your team just wrapped a retreat and needs help turning inspiration into execution. Maybe you're navigating change, but your people don’t feel connected to the direction. Or maybe you’re just ready to lead with more focus, alignment, and confidence. Whether through facilitated planning sessions, executive consultation, or energizing keynotes, I help you ensure your strategy doesn’t sit in a slide deck but lives in your culture.

Strategic Planning

We combine lab-style facilitation, analytical insights custom to your org, and recommendations grounded in managerial science. The result is a working session that helps teams capture that “A-ha!” moment. After your workshop, you’ll receive a clean, easy-to-navigate summary that captures everything -key decisions, brainstormed ideas, and immediate next steps.

We bring experience in guiding leadership teams through critical conversations, whether you’re facing rapid growth, evolving your business model, or re-aligning on your original strategic vision.

Workshop formats include:

  • Half-day or full-day strategic planning sessions; annually or bi-annually

  • Multi-day retreats or offsites

  • Strategic planning sprints
