Envision: Business Growth Summit

Imagine coming into a welcoming community of business owners, trusted advisors, and consultants and entrepreneurs: people who have been through it all and continue to learn and grow and work their goals. 


This summit is designed for those who are looking to be part of a community of givers, movers and shakers, sales experts, marketing gurus, HR leaders, and many C-suite owners. We come together to be better, to take stock of how we lead and where we want to be better. 

From our keynote to the closing remarks, our focus is on how to help you grow your business or career, and love the life you lead. 


  • You will receive an Envision Toolbox at this summit, with loads of valuable opportunities to lay out where you are and where you want to be: from visioning out your next steps, to creating goals that align, and finally moving that into actionable items.


Throughout the day, allow yourself to dream, organize, create a plan, and walk away with the next year locked in.
  • Outline a pivot or transition you will need to make.

  • Gain a clear understanding of your current position and the direction of the path ahead.

  • Identify opportunities and obstacles that make achieving your goals difficult.

  • Use creative solutions to create workarounds.

  • Determine the perfect goals to focus your efforts on.

  • Take those goals and make a plan for the year.

  • Learn not everything needs to be done at once.

  • Find ways to create an action plan over 90 days.

  • Leave with an energized vision of your business and your leadership.


At the end of the day you will have networked and connected with high-quality leaders, met nonprofits and their leaders to support, gained a toolbox and learnings that make an immediate and long-term impact in your life.
