Reviewing Your Past 90 Days

Before we look ahead, it’s worth taking a deliberate pause to look back. Whether you joined us at the last GrowthCLUB or this is your first, reflection is one of the most valuable parts of planning. The past 90 days hold lessons — about what worked, what didn’t, and what we can do better next time.

The goal isn’t to dwell on mistakes or replay frustrations; it’s to learn from them. How did your results compare to your expectations? Were there wins you can build on, or patterns that need changing? Progress rarely happens in a straight line, but consistent review helps turn experience into improvement.

This exercise is about transforming reflection into refinement. When we identify what caused success, we can repeat it. When we spot what went wrong, we can prevent it. Without this step, we risk rushing into another quarter without applying what we’ve learned.

So, as we review, be honest with yourself. Celebrate the wins, acknowledge the lessons, and decide what you’ll do differently in the next 90 days. Because reflection without action is just nostalgia — but reflection followed by change is growth.

Winning Recognition — The Strategic Path from Entry to Exposure

We’re delighted to welcome Donna O’Toole, founder of August Recognition and bestselling author of WIN!, as our keynote speaker at GrowthCLUB March 2026. With a reputation as one of the world’s Top 25 Customer Experience Influencers, Donna has helped hundreds of companies — from startups to established scale-ups — secure powerful awards and transform them into tangible business growth. 

In her keynote, Donna will guide you through her proven approach for leveraging awards as a growth engine:

  • Choosing the right award(s). Not every award is a fit — Donna will show you how to map awards to your business goals, competitive strengths, and timing, so you aren’t wasting effort on the wrong race.

  • Crafting an award-worthy entry. You’ll discover the storytelling, metrics, and structure that judges love — how to present your achievements in compelling form, avoiding common weak spots and clichés.

  • Maximising awards for marketing. Winning is only half the job. Donna will unpack how to turn recognition into visibility: using press, social media, thought leadership, partnerships, and internal culture to amplify your success.

Whether you’re entering awards for the first time or want to raise your win rate, Donna’s insights will give you clarity, confidence, and a clear roadmap to recognition that fuels growth.

From Information to Implementation

There was a time when knowledge was power. Those who knew more, achieved more. But today, with ChatGPT and Google offering instant access to the best ideas in the world, information alone is no longer the advantage it once was. The true differentiator now is implementation — the discipline of putting knowledge into consistent action.

Most business owners don’t suffer from a lack of information; they suffer from a lack of execution. They already know what to do — they’ve read the books, attended the workshops, listened to the podcasts — but the follow-through doesn’t happen often enough or long enough to create real change.

That’s why implementation has become the ultimate skill. It’s not about finding new ideas; it’s about building the systems, habits, and accountability that make action inevitable.

This 90-Day Planning Workshop is designed to bridge that gap — turning insight into action, and plans into measurable results. Because information doesn’t change a business. Implementation does.

 

Who should attend?

GrowthCLUB 90-day business planning is designed for business owners and senior managers, though anyone is welcome. Many business owners choose to bring one or two of their senior team. It often helps to bring along more than one person from a company, as it can make it easier to create plans on the day, and to hit the ground running back at the office when it comes to implementing the plans.

Is this just for big businesses?

GrowthCLUB is for just about any size of business, whether you’re the business owner with no employees, or part of a large organisation with a large team – all sizes of businesses attend this event.
