What might be possible for your team if they could find clarity, build alignment, and create the momentum to act on it?
Discover what’s possible with the “What If You Could?’ Strategic Vision & Action Workshop
Designed for leadership teams ready to clarify strategic direction, build alignment, and inspire action through generative conversations.
As a Strategic Facilitation Consultant, I design and facilitate conversations in a workshop-style setting that bridge strategy and culture so your organization or department or team can move forward with clarity, confidence, and collective energy. It’s not a typical planning session — it’s a facilitated experience that surfaces strengths, builds shared understanding, and leads to coordinated action toward desired results and outcomes. It does not ignore challenges and weaknesses; it reframes them into possibilities. How we do that is part of the secret sauce that distinguishes the approach from other methods that are increasingly less effective in today’s dynamic environment.
The “What If You Could?” Workshop is ideal for leaders navigating change or wanting to achieve their vision in:
Growing or Established Companies
Nonprofit Organizations
Social Service and Community Action Agencies
What You’ll Experience:
Designing a customized experience includes:
Discovery Conversation - to understand your desired outcomes, context, and challenges.
Facilitated Workshop - to engage your team in a generative, strengths-based conversation that surfaces opportunities and creates alignment.
Strategic Initiatives Summary - to provide a clear, prioritized deliverable your team can act on immediately.
What to Expect:
In this custom-designed workshop, you and your team will paint a vivid picture of what’s possible, develop bold initiatives that will move you in that direction, and identify meaningful indicators that support how you’ll define success.
Using the language of what works and a research-based, proven framework, our strategic conversations will generate original ideas, foster collaboration, and spark enthusiasm.
Conversations are structured to:
Give every participant a voice.
Elicit thinking that leads to breakthroughs.
Create a shared understanding of priorities that gain critical mass in the process.
Workshops can be held online or in person — from short sessions to immersive, all-day experiences.
Why This Works
Up to 70% of strategy fails, not because of poor planning, but because engagement fades. We begin with a different end in mind. Our generative approach to conversations ensures that priorities emerge naturally, teams align around shared goals and desired outcomes, and action becomes inspired because it’s owned, not imposed.
When people are engaged in conversations that focus on organizational strengths, achievements, and assets, they activate their best thinking and emotional intelligence — essential resources for staying relevant and resilient in an environment of constant change.
Ready for a Familiar, Yet Fresh, Approach to Defining What’s Next?
The secret to success today is in shifting the tone and direction of your strategic conversations from avoiding what you don’t want to moving toward what you want. We design and facilitate conversations that reveal what’s possible—and how to get there.
Let’s work together to help your team find clarity, build alignment, and create the momentum to act on it.
“Working with Kelly Stewart from The Positive Business has been a transformative experience. I am truly a much stronger strategic thinker because of her guidance and expertise. She has an ability to bring clarity and focus to complex ideas. I especially value how she helped us build on our strengths. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just help you envision the future, she equips you with actionable steps to document, implement, and measure your initiatives and goals. Her approach has empowered our organization with a clear, forward-thinking framework that we will continue to build upon for years to come.”
“With her inclusive approach, Kelly made sure that [everyone] had a voice in the planning process. Not surprisingly, the well-organized retreat was highly attended allowing for lots of conversation among board members and staff, out of the box thinking, and goal setting reflective of the organization’s successful past and ambitious future.”
