Own Your Future, a Strategic Planning Retreat


Your business is surviving, but at what cost to your mind, body, and relationships? A catalyst enables a significant business reaction to proceed at a faster rate or under different conditions than otherwise possible. Are you ready for a catalyst in achieving an amazing, not-too-distant future?

What: 

“Start to finish” 2-day Strategic Planning workshop for a fraction of the cost that big businesses pay for this exact program. You and your business thought partner will develop a compass for running your business. 

  • Clarify your IDENTITY
  • Dream an INSPIRING FUTURE
  • Analyze the CURRENT STATE
  • Set near-term GOALS
  • Select STRATEGIES to achieve them
  • Create an ACTION PLAN with tasks and dates

First-time participants will have support to create work products from scratch. Past participants will revisit and refresh their work products and get additional content. Exercises are updated each year. So returning participants benefit from new insights.

When:

  • OYF 1.0 (for new or returning participants) January 16 and 17, 2018*
  • OYF 2.0 (for returning participants) January 18 and 19, 2018*

Where: 

The Historic Balch Hotel in Dufur, Oregon

Cost Per Business: 

$475 Earlybird, $550 Regular Price 

Includes retreat tuition and materials, breakfast, lunch, & overnight accommodations (1 traditional Queen room) at the Balch for up to 2 people per business. Upgrade to Queen with private bath for $40. Additional Traditional Queen room is $75.

Here’s what previous participants had to say about the OYF retreat:

  • This was awesome and has definitely helped us focus our efforts!

  • The goal setting techniques are very empowering.

  • Great balance of time management and flexible flow. Group instruction and sharing, private quiet time, and one-on-one time with you. You balanced all of our needs.
  • You were generous with time and attention. I appreciated that you shared additional concepts and tools as we needed them. The Hartman Performance Diamond was great for thinking about employee issues.
  • Good stories and examples. I loved the charts and drawings too. 
  • The materials were fantastic. I’m a fan of big paper and colored markers! The color coded notebook and emailed templates for us to fill in were super.

*These Own Your Future retreat are scheduled in January because that is the time of year many people like to do strategic planning. Weather can pose a challenge though and it is hard to predict much in advance, exactly how drivable the roads will be. So we are prepared with a back-up plan. 

If on the first day of the retreat, there is inclement weather and the roads are safely drivable but require chains/studs and slow driving, we will have a delayed start by one hour.

If in the days leading up to the retreat or even the day of, we learn that it is unsafe to drive to Dufur on the planned retreat dates, the retreats will be rescheduled to January 30/31 (for OYF 1.0 if January 16/17 is a problem) and February 1/2 (for OYF 2.0 if January 18/19 is a problem). Unlike previous years, registration will not be rolled to the next year in case of inclement weather. Registration will only be rolled to the rescheduled dates. Refunds or Catalyst credit will only be granted if there is some unforeseen extreme situation where Stephanie is unable to facilitate and the retreats are completely cancelled.  Hopefully, since we have a solid back-up plan in place this time, we won’t need it and our retreats will run smoothly of January 16/17 (OYF 1.0) and January 18/19 (OYF 2.0).
