About this event
After an intense year, it is valuable for almost every entrepreneur or leader to consciously look back. Not only at what went well, but especially at where things started to rub, what has structurally cost too much energy, and which decisions were left unmade. In this session, we deliberately take the time to do exactly that, so you do not automatically step into the same year again.
With a small group of no more than eight entrepreneurs and leaders, we reflect on the past year and translate those insights into a clear direction for 2026. No long stories or abstract plans, but a concrete overview of what you want to keep, what needs to change, and where you will and will not invest your energy in the period ahead.
I guide this process based on my experience in building and reshaping businesses, combined with a structured approach that helps clearly distinguish between what truly matters and what does not. You work with your own situation, your current challenges, and your responsibility as a leader. The goal is that you leave with a calm mind, a clear focus, and a set of choices that give direction to the year ahead and that you can genuinely stand behind.
Key benefits
You gain clarity, focus, and the ability to make strategic choices for the year ahead.
You identify where your time, energy, and attention have leaked over the past year, and what therefore failed to receive the right priority. From there, you decide what truly deserves attention in 2026 and what you will consciously let go.
We clarify what your business will require from you in its next phase, and which roles, expectations, or habits no longer contribute. This allows you to steer deliberately rather than continue reacting.
We work from the core question: “What absolutely must not stay the same next year?” and translate your answers into concrete, conscious decisions that provide direction and stability.
You leave with a clear focus for the first months of the year, a set of strategic choices you can stand behind, and a practical framework to stay sharp on what truly matters throughout 2026.
If something in you knows that next year cannot be a copy of this one, you belong at this table. Come as you are, with your wins and your worries, and we will turn that quiet “this has to change” into clear, grounded decisions for your fresh start.
Who this is for
For entrepreneurs and leaders who want to consciously reflect on their work and their choices, and enter the new year with greater clarity and focus.
