GPO STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT

Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa in Vernon, BC

May 29-31, 2026

This retreat is for Group Practice Owners who are ready to slow down, step back and relax in luxury, and get serious about the future of their business. Strategic planning isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s the foundation for sustainable growth, confident decision-making, and a business that actually supports your life (not the other way around).

Too often, practice owners get stuck reacting — putting out fires, juggling team needs, and rushing from one task to the next. This retreat invites you to pause and truly take stock. You'll explore what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to go next — with the time, tools, and support to create a clear, thoughtful plan to get there.

Coaching programs with this level of depth, strategy, and support often cost thousands — but here, you’ll be guided by two highly experienced Group Practice Owners, in an intimate, hands-on setting designed to help you align, plan, and lead with clarity.

This isn’t just time away — it’s a business investment with real return and a tax deduction too!

You’ll learn how to:

• Build a practical strategic plan you’ll actually use — not just a vision board or vague goals

• Prioritize the right things at the right time, based on your business stage

• Identify what to delegate, what to automate, and where to focus your energy

• Lead your team with clarity, alignment, and purpose

• Make decisions from strategy, not urgency

Nicole will share her key strategic planning principles that helped her scale her practice to 9+ locations — including the tough lessons and intentional strategies that made the difference. Lisa, founder of the Group Practice Network, brings an industry-wide perspective and helps GPOs get out of the weeds so they can lead with more ease, structure, and direction.

You’ll leave this retreat with more than inspiration — you’ll walk away with a solid plan and renewed confidence to lead your practice forward.
