About this event.
Three months can either become a frantic rush to finish everything on your list — or a focused opportunity to make a real difference to your business.
This practical, interactive workshop is designed to help you step back from the day-to-day, review what has happened so far in 2026, identify what really matters and build a clear plan for October, November and December.
You won’t leave with another long list of things to do.
You’ll leave knowing what needs to be done, why it matters, when you’re going to do it and how you’ll measure success.
Why this workshop matters
Many business owners reach September feeling like the year hasn’t quite gone to plan.
Perhaps:
- Some of your goals have been achieved.
- Some have been pushed back.
- Some opportunities have been missed.
- New priorities have appeared.
- You’re spending too much time working in the business.
- Or you’re simply not sure what deserves your attention for the rest of the year.
That’s okay.
The answer isn’t to try to do everything before December.
It’s to work out what really matters now.
This workshop gives you the space to step away from the business, look at the bigger picture and make informed decisions about where to focus your time, energy and resources.
What we’ll explore
Review – Where Are You Now?
Take an honest look at the first three quarters of 2026.
What did you plan?
What actually happened?
What worked?
What didn’t?
What have you learned?
Keep – Change – Stop
Identify:
- What’s working and needs to continue
- What needs to change
- What is taking time without delivering enough value

Prepare for the Unexpected

Start Thinking About 2027
You don’t need to wait until January.
You’ll create a clear starting point for your 2027 planning without allowing future ideas to distract you from Q4.
