Win the Year Before it Begins. Strategic Planning
that Turns Intentions into Results

September 30, 2026
12:30pm
Featured Speaker: Cliff Quicksell, Cliff Quicksell & Associates

Most professionals wait until January, if at all, to start planning the new year, and by then, they’ve already lost momentum. In this powerful session, Cliff Quicksell reveals why strategic planning before the year begins creates a competitive advantage. Learn how reflection, clear metrics, and intentional discipline position you to lead, not react.

Learning Outcomes:

Reflect Strategically on the Previous Year: Learn how to analyze what worked, what failed, and what opportunities were missed so you can build a smarter and more intentional plan for the year ahead.
Build a Clear, Measurable Strategic Plan: Understand how to translate goals into actionable metrics by reverse-engineering annual targets into monthly, weekly, and daily activities.
Create Momentum Before the New Year Begins: Discover why planning in advance provides a competitive edge, allowing you to enter the new year with clarity, confidence, and forward momentum while others are still trying to figure things out.
