Women’s Strategic Planning Retreat
This program will be offered again in early winter 2025. Reach out to Leigh to inquire about next winter’s retreat.
Join a small group of women entrepreneurs* in getting clear on crafting your business to fit your life. Make space for yourself to envision and map out the year ahead (and beyond). Use your planning muscles to actualize what you envision.
The Plan
An initial gathering in January to prepare and a day and a half retreat in February 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 two check-in Zoom meetings in the months 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 meetings 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.
*This program is inclusive to all who want to join.
As one of Leigh’s partnering organizations explains this intention: “CEI aligns with the definition of women and female that explicitly includes not only cis women, but also trans women and femme/feminine-identifying genderqueer and non-binary individuals.”
Please feel welcome and that this is for you.
