To unlock your company’s full potential, it’s essential to prioritize effectively while keeping an eye on future growth amidst everyday demands. 

 

You’re bombarded with advice, ideas, data, and they all can be urgent — but the actions chosen underpin your company’s relevance and growth. It is up to you to decide what is practical and pragmatic and prioritize those actions. Leading with limits is crucial for your business.

 

Ideas, plans, ROI expectations are all part of the beginning. Once decisions are made, everyone gets moving — without knowing what the end looks like. Start adding endings before implementation begins. Without endings, even the best-run teams fall short and don’t quite make it to the finish (because there isn’t one!).

 

The outcomes of a growth strategy hinge on what we choose to prioritize. Our priorities reflect our values, and these values shape our work culture. Our achievements multiply when we deepen our understanding of each other and how we collaborate.

 

In this program, you will learn the power of using “no” as a boundary, why to create endings to achieve more, and why Present Retreat™ is the most powerful strategic tool amidst daily demands. Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction and your host, shares with you why it is BOLD to focus on doing as much impactful as possible.

 

Here’s what to expect: 

  • Boundaries are important, and saying NO is a crucial boundary.
  • Quick changes and our never-ending to-do lists often lead to burnout.
  • Strategies for managing too many good ideas.
  • The Present Retreat: a powerful strategic tool at your disposal.
  • Focus on impactful work — now and in the near future, balancing both interest and influence.

 

By making small shifts, you can create lasting positive impacts that build on the work you’ve already accomplished while leveraging existing skills and strengths. 

 

If you recognize that you’re already steering the direction of your company’s future, this is the moment to pay attention — your breakthrough moments for future growth can come from making intentional choices among the wealth of ideas and advice surrounding you.
