2026 Strategy & You: Build a Business Plan That Includes YOU

2026 Strategy & You: Build a Business Plan That Includes YOU

In-person workshop for female business owners, creatives & coaches

Newcastle | Thursday 8th January | 9.30am

Most women step into a new year with big intentions — but without clarity, structure, or a strategy that actually supports them.

This in-person workshop is designed to change that.

2026 Strategy & You blends strategic planning with the often-missing piece for women in business: your wellbeing.

You’ll learn how to build a simple, powerful strategy for your business, and you’ll understand why the success you want is directly connected to the strength of your health, mindset and habits. You cannot build the business you want if you are running on empty. This session helps you change that.

Led by Nicola Farndell — women’s health expert, coach, ex-Nike leader and associate coach inside Dr Kim Foster’s Wellness Coach Academy — this workshop brings together the strategy, operations and wellbeing support that hundreds of female entrepreneurs have benefitted from in Nicola’s work to provide practical business clarity and the tools to support your energy, confidence and focus in 2026.

Across 3 hours, you’ll build your 2026 vision, set your strategic pillars, map your first 90-day plan and create the YOU Pillar that supports everything you want from your business.

Most strategy workshops tell you what to do.
This one helps you understand how to make it work for you — mentally, physically and practically.

This is the reset that so many women need as they step into a new year.

What you’ll walk away with

✓ A clear vision for 2026

A guided visioning exercise to help you define what you want from your business — and your life.

✓ Your 2026 strategic pillars

You’ll identify your key priorities for the year using Nicola’s Strategic House model.

✓ Your personalised YOU Pillar

A powerful reflection process to understand what you need — mentally, physically and emotionally — to support your business ambitions.

✓ Your 90-day plan for Q1

A practical, focused roadmap so you know exactly what to do in the first quarter of the year.

✓ A strategy you can actually stick to

No overwhelm, no overplanning. Just clarity, focus, direction, and a plan that moves you forward.

✓ Real Connection

You’ll meet like-minded women who are also building meaningful businesses and want the year ahead to feel lighter, clearer and more aligned.

Who this is for

This workshop is perfect for female founders, creatives, practitioners and coaches who:

– want more clarity and direction

– feel like they’re “doing everything” but not seeing the results

– are tired of starting every year full of hope and then burning out by February

– want their business growth to feel aligned, sustainable and energising

– know something needs to shift… and they’re ready for it

What makes this workshop different

Most strategy workshops teach you what to do.

This one helps you understand how to make it work for you.

You’ll leave with a strategy that is actionable, but also rooted in the reality of being a woman building a business while navigating life, energy, hormones, responsibilities and the inner narrative that can hold us back.

This is strategy with humanity.

With honesty.

And with your wellbeing at the centre — not as an afterthought.
