The Plan

An initial gathering in early January to prepare and a day and a half retreat in late January designed to support you in clarifying, articulating, and mapping out where you are headed with your work and how you intend to get there. This is followed by a check-in Zoom meeting one month following the retreat. Doing this as a small team of women allows us to explore together, learn from one another's unique perspectives, and gain valuable insight on our business planning.

The initial gathering , the retreat, and the check-in Zoom meeting will be facilitated by Leigh Tillman. Leigh will guide you through a collaborative process to shape the unfolding of your business and thoughtfully integrate it with your life.

Participants Will Come Away With:

  • A compass setting that honors your life and your business – that honors you

  • Enhanced clarity on where you want to go and how you want to get there

  • A roadmap of what you are doing – with who and by when

  • Enhanced understanding of an array of planning techniques and how to cater them to your planning intentions

  • A team to engage with in the year ahead to support the unfolding of the course you’ve set

  • Gratitude toward yourself for making this time for you and your business

The Group:

  • Women entrepreneurs and small business owners of noncompetitive businesses

  • Women who are in it – i.e. your business is your primary form (or one of your primary forms) of work and source of income

  • Women who want to do this together – to have a team to support and be supported by in your work
