STRATEGIC PLANNING

What’s the plan? Trying to make sense of the next phase of growth?  You have found yourself the right partner. Our strategic planning work is done with you, in strategy sessions.

Through these active collaborations we are able not only to explore your priorities, budgets, timing and blue skies, we are able to develop tactics that speak to our work together. This is Julia’s favorite way to spend a few days – digging in with smart, passionate people designing the “what’s next” with open minds, expert insight and a call to rise to the next level. She is big on harnessing the power of surprise guests (yes, really!) 

If you’ve never been to one of Julia’s sessions – please ask for a referral. These are days and dollars that will keep you sparked and speeding forward in all the best ways.

The work is hands on – asking for input from the whole of your organization. Together we will brand, message and visually identify just who you are.The result is a Brand Bible – a way in which you will manage and hand down the next generation of your DNA to whomever works with you, for you and of course, you!
