This Lunch & Learn @ MODE: The Leadership Series is a fast-paced, interactive workshop built for executives, founders, and senior leaders who want to step into 2026 with clarity and confidence. In just 90 minutes, guest speaker Jennifer Hawkins of Launched Performance will guide participants through practical frameworks like Start/Stop/Continue Analysis, Growth + Efficiency Planning, Budget Alignment, and Scenario Planning. Unlike a traditional “lunch & learn,” this event is highly engaging, with limited spots for attendees, and designed so you leave with a customized action plan — not just ideas. Plus, enjoy a catered executive lunch from A Catered Affair while networking with fellow leaders at MØDE. Here’s a Snapshot of the Workshop: This session is built for executives, founders, and senior leaders who want to enter 2026 with clarity and confidence. Together, we work through: Start/Stop/Continue Analysis - identifying the initiatives that will move the needle, the activities draining resources, and the practices worth doubling down on. Growth + Efficiency Planning - how to balance revenue growth with operational efficiency. Budget + Resource Alignment - ensuring people, time, and dollars are invested in the right places for maximum impact. Scenario Planning - anticipating industry shifts and positioning for resilience. If you’re a leader and looking to take advantage of September to finalize budgets and set priorities, this session equips you to lock in the right strategies before the year closes. This a focused 90-minute workshop that is highly interactive, practical, and designed so every participant leaves with a clear 2026 action plan (not just ideas).
