Speaker Series
Business Plan Workshop with Joanna Sutton
Think of your business plan like the GPS for your business—would you take a road trip without a map? Probably not. A good business plan helps you stay on track, avoid costly detours, and know what’s coming up ahead. In this webinar, we’ll talk about how your plan can actually make running your business easier: from setting the right goals and tracking useful metrics, to understanding your fixed vs. variable costs so you can make smarter decisions. This isn’t about creating a document that sits in a drawer—it’s about building a roadmap you can actually use every day to grow your business with confidence.
December 10, 2025—8:00 to 10:00 a.m.
Intentional Leadership Workshop with Will Ashby
In this workshop, you’ll get a focused introduction to the four pillars of effective leadership—Identity, Integrity, Intention, and Impact—pulled straight from our 2-Day Intentional Leadership Program. You’ll learn how to lead yourself with clarity and conviction, communicate with purpose, and create a culture of trust and accountability.
This isn’t a motivational talk—it’s a call to level up your leadership. If you’re ready to lead with discipline, direction, and results, this workshop will show you exactly where to start.
December 18, 2025—11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
