Most creatives enter the new year excited but unsure where to start.
→Too many ideas. (oh hello this is me!)
→ Too little structure.
→ And a whole lot of "I'll figure it out as I go."
This workshop is your reset.
Your clarity moment.
Your roadmap for the year ahead.
Over two days together, you’ll walk away with:
✔ A clear vision for 2026
✔ A future-you letter full of direction and possibility
✔ A finished (or near finished) vision board
✔ 1–2 aligned goals (business + personal)
✔ A breakdown of
goals → projects → tasks
✔ An integrated way of using your routines + systems to move towards your goals
✔ A first 7-day plan to start the year strong
✔ A renewed sense of confidence, clarity, and purpose
Not just mindset.
Not just motivation.
A real plan you can begin immediately.
clarity is the most valuable currency for 2026.

Shelly’s Goal Workshop is one of the highlights of my year!
It’s nice and long, which really gives you the time to think and reflect on your goals.
I use the work I do in her session across the whole rest of the year and it really helps keep me on track. Can’t wait for this year!!”
nancy Anne, Photographer
Your workshop was really one of those moments that made me go Ah Ha! Setting goals is easy, breaking them down into actionable steps though, that was key for me.
Also, I really appreciated the emphasis you put on personal goals (health, relationships, travel, feeding the creative) in addition to career. It’s such a good reminder for type A’s, that life is more than achieving work goals
