Why would I be interested in The Sky’s the Limit
Business Transformation Program
for Small Businesses?
Your business has been on a fast track to growth and yet you’re currently sensing a loss of energy and vitality in your organization. Most areas of your business are working well and there are areas that are not working as well.
If everything is working well in your business this is the perfect time ask yourself “What’s next? What new mountain can we climb?” How can we look at our vision in a new and expanded way?
On the other hand if things aren’t working as well as you’d like and you’re struggling, you’re likely standing at the foot of the mountain asking yourself, “How do I climb this mountain?”
Either way these are likely some of the thoughts running through your mind:
Where did my Big Bold Powerful Vision of how I was going to change the world go?
I want my employees to care and be fully engaged in what they are doing, not cogs in a wheel. In fact, what I really want is a company of geniuses.
What goals and planning do we need that will propel us up this mountain and onto the next one?
I want an organization filled with vulnerable, creative, powerful leaders and I don’t know how to create that.
There is always change going on (whether it’s a merger, acquisition, new leadership, new service offerings, reorganization, customer dissatisfaction, new processes or you name it), and it never quite seems to have the impact I envisioned. How do I change that?
What you want running your business to be like:
You enjoy getting up every day, spending time at your office and interacting with your staff, clients and vendors.
You love the challenges that come with business and you’re able to solve them while creating space for new ideas.
You want this to be a game in which everyone wins!
You love getting up in the morning excited and ready to work, knowing your employees are also excited to come to work. You arrive at your office and you feel the energy and power coming from a group of creative people who know why they are there, what they are doing and most importantly why they are doing it.
You share with your clients, vendors and community and they know what your goals are and are as committed to your reaching them as you are.
When challenges arise (which they will) you know what to do, how to engage everyone, create a plan and move into action.
You trust everyone to honor their word and magic is accomplished on a regular basis.
Best of all everyone is winning the game you’ve chosen to play.
If you think this is a dream… It is! And more, it’s your business running as smooth as a dream team, with everyone playing at the top of their game.

- Your employees, clients, vendors and community all feel valued and know that they are critical to the overall success of the organization.
How we partner together
Once we decide to partner together we’ll do the pre-work necessary to have a 2 Day Leadership Retreat.
Leadership Retreat
- At the Leadership Retreat we’ll begin by re-presencing you and your executive leadership team to your Vision and Mission through the creation of a Vision Mission Map.
- Once we have a clear Vision Mission Map we’ll use Sage Discernment™, a powerful decision making process,
- to cause a new level of engagement,
- to identify the current identity of the organization
- We’ll transition into the creation of the Five Year Plan.
Your Vision and Mission Map, your culture and Five Year Plan creates your North Star that will guide you towards your Vision and support you in accomplishing your Mission.
- As we wrap up the Retreat we’ll create your Organizational One Year Plan.
This plan is the mountain range in the horizon, you’re consistently moving towards it and it gets bigger and clearer every day.
After the retreat we’ll have an All Hands meeting where you’ll share the Vision and Mission Map along with the Five Year Plan and Organizational Annual plan.
The All Hands meeting will be followed by Division meetings, where your primary job (as the CEO) is to listen. The intention of these meetings is the enrollment of every member of your organization in this new future.
In the weeks following the Retreat I’ll work with each member of your executive leadership team and their team to ensure ongoing enrollment, and create their Divisional Annual Plans.
Each quarter I will lead you and your executive team in a review of the Annual Plan and the creation of a 90 Day Plan for the Organization. During this time I will also be there to facilitate and observe as each Division Chief and their lead managers create their Divisional 90 Day Plans.
To create an organization in which The Sky’s The Limit it’s important to have the right folks doing the right work. To do this will look at what roles and jobs your employees have and confirm they are in the right role and job, and they are engaged and empowered. To begin this work we’ll have with each employee create their job description and responsibilities, along with their skills, gifts and talents matrix.
Every step of the way we will be listening to what employees are saying or not saying and how everything we are doing is impacting their day to day jobs. We’ll ensure that everyone is acknowledged while at the same time they are creating a new future.
As all of this is occurring you’ll be facilitating a weekly PAAC meeting (Planning, Accountability, Action and Communication) with your executive leadership team to ensure that there is momentum being generated and that you’re resolving issues.
At the beginning of the program I will be there personally to help create and facilitate the 2 day Annual Retreat along with facilitating the creation of the Divisional Annual Plans.
I will also be there each month. At this time we will have ½ day Leadership Team meeting where we will review progress and deal with issues, along with a 1 hour coaches training.
Each member of the leadership team will have a monthly 1 hour coaching call focused on their commitments, challenges and accountabilities (C2A).
In addition to their C2A’s these coaching sessions will focus on the leadership traits that move an organization forward. These include listening, delegation, enrollment, engagement and integrity.
You will receive also receive the following
