At a glance: My power planning sessions offer impact leaders 90-minutes of dedicated reflection time to organise their busy minds, prioritise their work and create a clear plan of action that they can start to implement immediately.
The challenge: Overworked and overwhelmed
Leading an impact business can be lonely. Social entrepreneurs are typically called to their work through passion for a cause, they set big goals and juggle big responsibilities – often striving to shelter their teams from the day-to-day stresses they face. Stresses including:
- How am I going to balance the books this month to pay everyone’s salaries (and then my own)?
- When everything feels urgent, how do I choose where to focus my time and energy?
- How can we capitalise on our recent financial success to build our resilience and sustainability and grow our impact?
- How can I get from overworked and overwhelmed, back to doing my best work and being my best self in support of my team?
Matt, a sole founder of a social impact business, came to me looking for clarity on where to focus his time and energy as his organisation’s growth started to outpace his planning.
The approach: Dedicated time to get clear on priorities
My power planning sessions offer leaders 90-minutes of dedicated time to work through what’s on their minds, get clear on what needs to happen when, and create a plan that feels actionable.
I support clients like Matt through these sessions with:
- An open, judgement-free space to explore whatever feels most current and pressing to them.
- Thoughtful questions to get to the root of issues and most practical solutions.
- Structure that guides them from reflection to concrete action.
The difference: A clear and manageable plan of action, in action
Clients leave these sessions:
- With a clear plan of action – based on the timeframe that works for them – that they feel good about putting into practice straight away.
- Feeling lighter and more motivated and engaged with their bigger picture goals.
- Having gained new insights about what’s important to them and their organisations, and a clearer understanding of what’s going well and opportunities for improvement.
Matt left our session with a roadmap for his next 6-12 months, clearly setting out what attention he needed to pay, when, to each of the four aspects of his business.
