Advising Intensives

STEP AWAY FROM THE DAY-TO-DAY TO RE-ALIGN, RE-ENVISION, AND RE-ENGAGE WITH YOUR BUSINESS


Intensives are off-sites that let you take a beat away from running your business and recenter on where you’re running to. From diving deep into a single area of focus to charting the bigger picture of your entire business, intensives make holistic transformation and sustainable growth possible. 

Together, we’ll get clear on where you’re going and make a solid, succinct plan to get you there.

What happens in an Advising Intensive?

You (or you and key team players) meet with me for 1-3 dedicated days at a location to be determined. You don't have to be a huge organization to benefit. Off-sites benefit solopreneurs, small and large businesses, and C-suite leaders.

While this work is always directed by your needs, common topics addressed during an advising intensive include:

  • Macro strategy: vision-setting, tactical strategy, goal clarification, pivots and more.

  • Organizational structure: restructuring, human resources/staffing.

  • R&D: product design and development, supply chain, assortment, sales.

  • Marketing & Communications: branding, content strategy, press, omnichannel marketing, B2B marketing.

  • Innovation: expanding time for creativity and innovation through time management and delegation.

  • Crisis management: address current issues and create strategic plans to ensure organizational stability.

FAQS

  • Your business cycle may dictate the optimal time of year for your intensive. 

    For some, end-of-quarter is a perfect time. Others prefer the start or end of the year. Still others schedule an offsite during seasonal down times.

    Of course, the right time might be when the unexpected hits.

    Flexible scheduling options and the opportunity to secure regular offsites mean we can find the right time for you.
