Mid-Year Strategic Planning Lab
Reset the Noise. Recalibrate the Business.
Lead the Second Half of the Year with Intention.
Most business owners do not fail because they lack ideas. They struggle because they are moving too fast, carrying too much, making decisions in isolation, and leading without enough space to strategically evaluate what is actually working.
The Mid-Year Strategic Planning Lab was designed to change that. This is a focused, high-level working session for women business owners and leaders who are ready to step out of reactive mode and make intentional decisions about the second half of the year.
Together, we will evaluate what is working, identify what is draining momentum, recalibrate priorities, strengthen execution, and build a strategic plan for the remainder of 2026 with greater clarity, structure, and direction.
You’ll walk away with:
-
A clearer view of your business and leadership priorities
-
Strategic insight into where your time, energy, and focus need to shift
-
A more intentional plan for revenue, operations, and growth
-
Practical next steps instead of more information overload
-
The perspective and accountability that comes from being in the right room with the right women
This is not a sit-back-and-listen style event. You will actively evaluate your business, engage in strategic conversations, work through guided exercises, and leave with tangible decisions and implementation priorities.
If you are craving space to think strategically, make stronger decisions, and stop leading everything alone, this room was built for you.

Who This Lab Is Designed For:
This experience is designed for women business owners and leaders who are:
-
Carrying significant responsibility in their business or organization
-
Feeling the pressure of leading without enough strategic space to think clearly
-
Ready to move from reactive decision-making into intentional leadership
-
Looking to strengthen operations, focus, revenue, and execution
-
Craving higher-level conversations beyond surface networking
-
Serious about building a sustainable business with greater clarity and structure
Whether you are scaling, restructuring, recalibrating, or simply trying to lead more intentionally, this day was designed to help you pause, evaluate, and move forward with purpose.
During This Strategic Planning Lab, We’ll Work Through:
-
Mid-Year Business Evaluation
Review what is working, what is not, and where momentum is being lost. -
CEO-Level Decision Making
Identify the decisions you’ve been avoiding and create clarity around next steps. -
Revenue & Growth Review
Evaluate opportunities, bottlenecks, offers, client experience, and business development priorities. -
Operational & Time Alignment
Assess where your time, energy, and systems are misaligned with your goals. -
Strategic Priorities for the Second Half of the Year
Build a focused plan that supports sustainable growth and stronger execution. -
Accountability & Implementation
Leave with practical action steps instead of another notebook full of ideas.
This Is Not a Typical Business Event
This Lab was intentionally designed to be smaller, more focused, and more strategic than traditional networking events or business workshops.
You will not spend the day listening to surface-level motivation without application.
You will be actively working on your business, evaluating real challenges, making decisions, and creating an intentional plan alongside other growth-minded women who understand the realities of leadership and business ownership.
The goal is not simply inspiration.
The goal is clarity, strategy, and execution.

What You’ll Leave With:
This is not designed to be a day full of information overload and temporary motivation. The goal is strategic clarity, stronger decision-making, and meaningful movement going into the second half of the year.
You’ll leave with:
-
A clearer understanding of where your business actually stands financially, operationally, and strategically
-
Greater confidence in the decisions that need to be made next
-
Increased awareness of what is slowing momentum, creating inefficiency, or keeping you too deep in the day-to-day
-
A more focused strategy for revenue, visibility, client growth, and execution
-
Clearer priorities for the second half of the year instead of competing goals pulling your attention in every direction
-
Practical action steps and strategic commitments you can immediately implement
-
High-level perspective and feedback from women who understand the realities of leadership, growth, and responsibility
-
A renewed sense of intentional leadership as you move from simply managing the business to leading it strategically
Most importantly, you’ll leave with space to think clearly again. Because making strategic business decisions requires perspective, evaluation, intentionality, and the willingness to lead proactively instead of reactively.
The Second Half of the Year Deserves More Than Survival Mode
If you are ready to lead with greater clarity, stronger strategy, and more intentional execution, we invite you to join us for the Awaken Mid-Year Strategic Planning Lab.
Seats are intentionally limited to protect the quality of discussion, collaboration, and strategic engagement.
