# Two days out of the business, to see it clearly and come back with a plan.

The Clarity Retreat Brisbane is two days in person with Ivanka Menken for 12 vetted founders, at A$5,500 per founder ex GST, by application. The group works on Identity Risk and Strategic Drift, the two patterns from her book The Clarity Shift that founders find hardest to see from inside the business. Each founder also has 1:1 time with Ivanka on their one decision, and leaves with a written plan.

## Some things only show from a distance

- I have not had two clear days to think in years
- The business has drifted and I cannot say exactly when
- I am not sure where I end and the business begins
- Every quiet hour gets filled by the next urgent thing
- I want to come back with a plan, not just a rest.

## Out on day one, back in on day two

The shape is fixed. The content comes from the founders in the room.

1. Day one: Identity Risk, the space between who you are and what you built
2. Day one: Strategic Drift, where the business has quietly moved off course
3. Day two: your one decision, in 1:1 time with Ivanka
4. Day two: the written plan, read back to the group before you leave

## How to come

Places are offered by application, so the 12 founders are chosen for the room.

1. Apply: Email Ivanka with your business, its turnover and what you hope to settle in two days.
2. Talk: A 20-minute conversation to check the fit, both ways.
3. Confirm: Accepted founders confirm the dates and the Brisbane venue with Ivanka before paying.
4. Prepare: A short pre-read: your five scorecard numbers and the decision you will bring.

Your written plan, and a short list of what you decided to stop. Founders who want help holding the plan can continue in 1:1 mentoring or the Clarity Shift Mastermind.

## Questions about Clarity Retreat Brisbane

### What is the Clarity Retreat Brisbane?

The Clarity Retreat Brisbane is two days in person with Ivanka Menken for 12 vetted founders. Day one works on Identity Risk and Strategic Drift, two patterns from her book The Clarity Shift. Day two turns to each founder's one decision, with 1:1 time with Ivanka, and ends with a written plan you take home.

### How much does it cost, and what is included?

The Clarity Retreat Brisbane costs A$5,500 per founder ex GST. That covers two days of facilitation by Ivanka Menken, the group sessions and your 1:1 time with her. Anything beyond the two days, such as meals or accommodation, is confirmed with accepted founders together with the venue, before anyone pays.

### When and where is it?

Dates and the venue for each Clarity Retreat Brisbane are confirmed with the founders who are offered a place, not published in advance. Ivanka Menken keeps each group to 12 founders, so a retreat runs when there are 12 people it suits. It is in person in Brisbane, and there is no online version.

### Who is it for?

The Clarity Retreat Brisbane is for founders and owners who run their business day to day and have not had two clear days to think in a long time. Ivanka Menken looks for founders with a real decision on the table and the willingness to share their numbers with the rest of the group.

### What is Identity Risk?

Identity Risk is the name Ivanka Menken gives in The Clarity Shift to what happens when a founder's sense of self becomes fused with the business. At the Clarity Retreat Brisbane, day one makes a little space between the two, because that space is where clearer decisions come from, and the rest of the retreat builds on it.

### What happens after the retreat?

You leave the Clarity Retreat Brisbane with a written plan and a short list of what you decided to stop. There is no obligation to do anything more. Founders who want someone to hold them to the plan can continue with Ivanka Menken in 1:1 mentoring or in the Clarity Shift Mastermind.
