​If you’re tired of constantly working in your business and never having the headspace to step back and work on your bigger vision… this day is for you.

* BOOK BEFORE END OF DEC FOR EARLY BIRD PRICE AND PLENTY OF TIME TO FILL OUT YOUR PROFIT ROADMAP *

​This is your chance to pause, zoom out, and intentionally design a 2026 that feels sustainable, profitable and aligned with the business you actually want to be running.

​Join us in a beautiful private space at Platf9rm Town Hall for a grounded, energising morning of strategic thinking, financial clarity, and collaborative planning with a group of brilliant, values-led founders.

Expect nourishing conversation, honest reflection, and a CEO-level roadmap that will carry you confidently into the year ahead.

ND FRIENDLY: This workshop is designed to support everyone’s unique ways of learning and engaging. We know that people focus and absorb information differently, and that certain social connections and environments can feel easier for some than others.

​We welcome all neurotypes and needs, and we strive to create a space where everyone can feel comfortable, and supported.

​Also, part of this session will be a walk n' talk to get the body moving and thoughts flowing. There will be lots of time for deep thinking, with the option to brainstorm in groups and get bespoke feedback from Lara (your host). + fidget toys!

​If you have any questions or concerns, or if you’d like to discuss any adjustments that would help you get the most from the workshop, please contact Lara.

​🍇☕️Nibbles and drinks will be provided on the day too - because thinking well requires being well.

​What we’ll cover together

​This isn’t a fluffy vision board session. It’s strategic, spacious, and deeply practical.

​You’ll work through:

​✅ A clear-eyed review of 2025
What worked, what didn’t, and what you want to take forward.

​✅ Your CEO Dashboard for 2026
Priorities, boundaries, focus areas and non-negotiables.

​✅ Your personalised 2026 business plan
Rooted in sustainability, values and your capacity.

​✅ Finance Forecasting for stability + smart decision making
Revenue planning, cost mapping and financial goals you can actually trust. You will be sent resources to fill out ahead of time including F&F's Profit Roadmap.

​✅ Visibility + impact planning for purpose-led growth
How you want to show up - and where your energy is best spent.

​✅ Risk + opportunity mapping
So you can lead from intention, not reactivity.

​✅ Peer accountability + community wisdom
Clarity hits differently when you’re surrounded by founders who get it.

​This is how you build a business you’re proud of - without burning out.

​What you’ll walk away with

• ​A completed, personalised 2026 business strategy

• ​A finance forecast to support stability and sustainable growth

• ​Clear priorities and a CEO-level roadmap you can actually follow

• ​Renewed inspiration and confidence about the year ahead

• ​New connections with supportive, purpose-led founders

• ​The relief of knowing you don’t have to plan alone

• ​A feeling of grounded momentum: “I know exactly what I’m doing next.”

​Stay with us until 4pm for open co-working, deeper chats and gentle accountability if you want to keep the energy going.

​This is for you if…

• ​You want clarity - not chaos - going into 2026

• ​You've been winging it and you're ready for a more intentional strategy

• ​You care about purpose and profit, and want a calm, sustainable plan for the year ahead

• ​You thrive in community and want to build alongside people who give a sh*t

• ​You want financial stability and a business model that supports your wellbeing, not drains it

​Testimonials from our last CEO day

​Being in the presence of other business owners and doing value work, talking about challenges, plans and goals is so incredibly inspiring and motivating. Having a framework I can refer back to when I feel like I get lost as well as the support from my community takes the fear out of having to do all the tasks whilst running a business by myself. - Anja Poehlmann, Film maker & Photographer

​This day helped me realise I'm on the right track with the business and that all founders, no matter what stage they're at, have the same fears, hopes, and hang ups. Sharing together in a warm and friendly environment was great for the soul. And I absolutely love my headshots! - Janine Jacobs, Co-founder of Happy HQ

​I had so many 'aha' moments, both through my own reflections and through listening to the reflections of others. Having a space like this to allow those realisations to surface is invaluable, and I can't wait for the next one. - Aviva Jewel, Lifestyle Coach

This was such a great day! Just the time and space I needed to be able to zoom out and focus on the bigger picture. I feel so confident and excited going into next year now. Lara is such a brilliant facilitator. Highly recommend! - Natasha Jackson, Founder of Brighton Wellness Festival
