You know those war movies where the losing side of a battle retreats? Most wouldn’t consider that kind of retreat a positive thing. Yet when you think about it, the characters who make that call are giving themselves (and the others fighting) permission to pause, regroup, and strategize.

Members of the Runway to Freedom Mastermind enjoy a different kind of retreating that offers a similar purpose. As an entrepreneur and CEO, these retreats can propel you forward. So let’s talk about this concept of retreating to advance in your business (and life).

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn some tangible benefits and real-life challenges of retreats. I’ll also reveal how one client advanced as a CEO after attending a recent retreat and provide a framework for mini-retreats you can start implementing today.

2:27 - What a retreat is really all about

4:15 - Three things that happen when you give yourself permission to pause

5:58 - How “Samantha” advanced within a month after attending the mastermind retreat

7:09 - What you might have to do before you go on retreat (and what you might face after getting back)

10:27 - How to start small if you don’t have the time to go retreating right now

12:19 - A question and an invitation to help you advance

Let's turn those big ideas into extraordinary actions.

Are meetings you frequent too frequent, too long, or too time-wasting? If you’ve walked away from meetings often feeling like nothing of note was accomplished, there are things you can do as a big-thinking CEO to ensure you’ll have better, more effective team meetings where stuff gets done.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn clear strategies for how to run shorter and smarter meetings while still making them meaningful and impactful. I’ll also reveal why big thinkers suck at having short meetings and cover key considerations when it comes to meeting basics, whether they’re one-on-one or involve the whole team.

5:03 - Why you struggle with meetings in general

6:39 - Key considerations for the foundational pieces of your meetings

11:38 - Strategies for shorter meetings where you work smarter, not harder

16:03 - How two clients got immediate results after implementing some of these strategies

17:07 - Your challenge for the week: how to audit your current meetings

Let's turn those big ideas into extraordinary actions.

In business, we often want to skip right to the action. We think that if someone would just give us a blueprint, then we can make it work and be successful. But that skips over a vital step.

Without having a clear vision first, you’ll go nowhere. Using the simple yet transformative practice of stating your vision out loud, you can boost the potential of your success even further, especially when you combine it with a couple of other powerful modalities.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn why skipping over envisioning what you want to jump straight into action makes you feel stuck. I’ll also teach you how using a multi-modality process can change the way you approach your goals and explain the experiences a couple of my clients have had once they stated things aloud.

2:05 - Why you shouldn’t skip over the visioning stage

5:39 - Client stories that demonstrate the power of stating your vision out loud

8:28 - The multi-modality approach that works to turn your dream into a plan of action

10:10 - The impact of revenue goals on your vision

12:12 - Your challenge for today
