Jumpstart Your 2026
Free One‑Day Leadership & Growth Intensive
Spend one focused day on your business now, so your team can move faster and more effectively in 2026
What the Intensive Is
This free, one-day intensive is a focused, high-touch working session for startup founders in the
St. Pete / Tampa Bay Area who are tired of whiteboard dreams that never turn into action and want 2026 to feel different and not just look different in a slide deck.
Over one day, three experts in leadership, branding, and talent management dive under the hood of your business with you. Together, you’ll name what’s really keeping you stuck, sharpen your story and positioning, and make concrete decisions about your team, roles, and rhythms so you leave with a plan your whole company can actually rally around.
If you’ve been carrying the whole vision in your head, this is the day you stop doing it alone and walk out with clarity, alignment, and a “how did we get this for free?” level of support.
Who It's For
-
You want to scale without losing your culture, your sanity, or your “why.” No more choosing between growth and a life you actually want to live.
-
You’re feeling the growing pains: team misalignment, dropped balls, decision bottlenecks, or that quiet “I can’t keep leading like this for another year” feeling.
-
You lead a startup where it feels like everyone (including you) is running hard but not always in the same direction.
-
You’re willing to be honest, coached, and lovingly challenged, because you know 2026 needs bolder decisions, not more vague intentions.
What You’ll Walk Away With
-
A clear, grounded view of your current growth, team, and leadership challenges: what’s working, what’s not, and why.
-
Concrete recommendations on how your team communicates, makes decisions, and stays focused, designed to reduce bottlenecks and firefighting.
-
A simple, prioritized action plan for your leadership and company, so you know exactly what to focus on first.
-
A neutral, strategic outside perspective you can’t get from inside the day-to-day, from three experts looking at your business with fresh eyes.
