A CEO Day isn’t just about stepping away from the day-to-day tasks. It’s about stepping fully into a role that demands vision, strategy, and long-term planning.

In this episode, I share why dedicating time to think like a CEO can be a game-changer for your organization. From fostering a mindset shift from managing to leading, to ensuring every effort aligns with your overarching objectives, a CEO Day is your catalyst for growth, innovation, and renewed focus.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The importance of a CEO Day for nonprofit leaders and solopreneurs.
  • Practical steps to plan and execute an impactful CEO Day.
  • How to align short-term actions with long-term organizational goals during your CEO Day.

Key Takeaways:

  1. A CEO Day facilitates a crucial mindset shift from managing to leading.

    • Schedule these days well in advance and ensure they're immovable to signal their importance.
  2. Location:
    • Choose a location outside of your regular workspace to signal a mental and environmental shift, fostering fresh perspectives and strategic thinking.
  3. Planning the Day:
    • Craft an agenda focused on vision casting, strategic planning, and tackling significant projects.
