Do Better Business™ Strategy Retreats

Clear, focused, sustainable planning begins here.

Facilitated, in-person, 2-day sessions with your leadership team

Now Booking for 2023!

Press pause on the day-to-day busyness of running your company. It’s time to face what’s next with strategic intention.

When we’re trying to build our businesses, it’s easy to spend all our time holding the hammer and lose sight of the design.

But seeing your vision become a reality is about more than the little details. Someone has to create the blueprints that keep everyone on track and working toward a common goal.

That someone is you.

The Do Better Business™ Strategy Retreat provides the space to shift from Doer to Designer, a role only you can fill.

This 2-day retreat is a strong container for creating what comes next—for a specific business area or the whole company.

Teams use this space to…

Create a 3-5 year plan for the sale of the company

Build a go-to-market strategy for a new product or line of business

Lay the foundation for a leadership development plan

Design a habit development plan to support a company culture shift

…And so much more! What does your company need to realize its full potential and impact?

The Do Better Business™ Strategy Retreat is about giving yourself time.

Time to breathe.

Time to reimagine your dreams.

Time to realign with your team.

This unique 2-day strategic planning retreat allows committed business leaders and their teams to pause and plan for what comes next. You will work with our Chief Strategist, Renia Carsillo, to realign your current processes and map out a GPS-like adaptive plan for how to reach your goal.

What would it look like if you hit 2023 with a STRATEGY for sustainable growth and focused time for your business?

This unique 2-Day Intensive experience gives space for committed business leaders and their teams to plan for the new year. You will work with Chief Strategist Renia Carsillo to realign your current processes and work with intention to shape your future.

Strategic Planning

So what does the Strategic Planning Intensive 2023 look like?

The intensive is a two-day immersion experience designed to kickstart the new year. The structure looks like this:

Your Business

First, help us learn the ins and outs of your business and its people with our intake forms. They’ll help you lay out all of your resources and areas in need of improvement.

Work With Renia

Then, spend two days, in-person, working with Renia one-on-one. You’ll learn the steps to leveraging your strengths to make your dreams a reality.

A Custom Plan

Finally, you’ll receive a customized 2023 Strategy Plan just for your business, complete with an implementation calendar, so you’ll know exactly what to do and when.

Stop feeling confused and get a sustainable business growth plan that works for you.

You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. You just need the right tools to finally reach the top of that mountain.

Too many founders and their teams spend their days feeling completely alone in their struggles, constantly sifting through different strategies and feeling lost.

Because of this loneliness and trial-and-error approach, they end up running out of time, money, passion, or confidence.

After seeing this happen over and over again, Renia decided it was time to do something about it. She decided it was time to leverage what she’s learned over a decade in business to create an intensive program that guarantees results and puts fierce business leaders on the fast track to sustainable success.

Testimonials from Past Participants

“I’ve worked with Renia for over three years now. She started out as my web strategy person but has become much more. She is really more a coach, teacher, and cheerleader for us. I first went to Renia for copywriting, then for website help, but I think her biggest value is as a strategist. If you don’t know where to go from where you’re at or how to take the next step, Renia is the person you need on your team.”

Lisa Hannon

President, Mrs. Grout

“When we first started working with Renia, I was frustrated with our web presence and felt confused about what to do next. Renia helped me to understand my target customer better, streamline our branding, and helped us to rank for stuff that makes sense for our business…Renia helps us a lot with our online marketing, but what matters most to me is that I feel like we are working with a true partner.”

Jovan Miller-Zeller

CEO, Robert Miller Tree Care

Do I qualify to be a part of the Strategic Intensive?

Before you commit to anything, you’ll have a call with Renia to find out more information and to answer the question, “Are we a good fit?” This helps to ensure that every person participating is 100% committed and ready for this type of intense focus. There’s an element of a mastermind program here, which means showing up – physically and mentally – is essential to everyone’s success.

Beyond that, here are the basic requirements all applicants must meet:

You need to be able to step away for two whole days.

If you do not yet have the resources to sequester away with your leadership team, this program probably isn’t a great fit for you.

You need to have all decision-makers in your company commit to the program.

This is a business-wide transformational approach, and it won’t work without all of your leaders on board.

You need to be willing to be open and vulnerable.

We will be digging deep into problem areas and untapped opportunities. You need to be willing to shift goals, perspectives, and attitudes within your company and within yourself.

You need to be ready to commit to the work needed for transformation.

Creating the Strategic Plan is just the beginning. New practices take time to become habits, and new habits take time to impact sustainable change. It takes perseverance to reach the summit.

Does this sound like you?

Yes! I’m ready to take massive action for a sustainable business plan in 2023.

If we decide we are a good fit we’ll reach out to schedule the dates for your Intensive.

Meet Renia Carsillo, your Coach and Strategist.

Renia Carsillo jokes that she is physically allergic to marketing hacks and get-rich-fast growth strategies. Instead, her business philosophy combines heart-centric marketing with grounded processes and sustainable systems.

She knows founders are uniquely positioned to create a kinder, more equitable world.

Renia views her role as a business strategist as an expert who supports founders in a mission only they can fulfill. Not as a director, but as a partner. Not as a leader, but as a guide.

What could you accomplish with a dedicated partner who takes your business personally?

"Good strategists are to business as good doctors are to the body: Partners in healing and thriving. We know it does harm to abdicate our knowing to a doctor. The same thing is true in our businesses. We must demand partnership with our practitioners, not follow them as if they were omniscient."

Frequently Asked Questions

What stage of business should I be in to participate?

You need to have an established business that’s bringing in consistent revenue and can make plans for the year as a whole. This program isn’t a great fit for those still in the ‘early start up’ or new business phase.

How many people are accepted into the Strategic Planning Intensive?

For 2022-2023, we will be accepting six private participants. Each “participant” includes the CEO of the business as well as their leadership team.

What is included in the program?

For these sessions, we’ll provide strategy workbooks and other materials. We will also provide breakfast and special treats. You’ll be asked to provide lunch for your team on both days, though we will eat together in the strategic planning area.

What do I need to do to prepare?

You’ll be asked to complete and/or gather paperwork ahead of time to help us lay the groundwork for the heavy lifting we’ll do while we’re together. These things include…

Our Strategic Planning Survey, which helps us get to know the unique aspects of your business,
A SMART goals worksheet, which gives us an idea of where you’d like your business to be in the future,
Personality assessments for everyone on your leadership team so that we can begin to pick out your core strengths, and
Your monthly P&L statements to get a better idea of areas to focus on during the intensive.

Renia also suggests you and your team get a good night’s sleep a few days beforehand, along with some exercise and meditation, if that’s your jam. The Strategic Planning Intensive can get pretty, well, intense. So it’s best to go into it with a refreshed and open state of mind.
