About this Event

Designed for women-led, women-identifying, and gender-diverse business owners on the Sunshine Coast, these sessions create space to step back from day-to-day demands and focus on intentional next steps. Whether you are navigating expansion, feeling stretched, or simply ready to reset, these workshops are structured to provide clarity and direction.
Participants will leave with practical plans, renewed momentum, and a focused path forward for the next phase of their business.
CWIB is presented in partnership by Community Futures Development Corporation of the Sunshine Coast, the Sunshine Coast Chamber of Commerce, and In Good Company, with generous sponsorship from the Sunshine Coast Credit Union, the Government of Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy in Partnership with WeBC and the Gibsons Public Market.

Growth with Intention: A Business Reset Workshop
Host: Miranda Beall
Info: Let it Grow: But With a Plan! In this interactive workshop, executive coach Miranda Beall will guide participants through a structured business reset designed to support intentional growth.

Through guided reflection and small-group discussion, participants will create a focused 90-day plan built around one or two high-impact shifts, identify what needs to stop, simplify, or strengthen, and leave with a clear, actionable direction for their next phase of growth.
