Accelerate your 2027 – a day for adults and young people

A day of reflection, goal setting and planning, so you head into 2027 knowing what you want and with the confidence to make it happen. Open to everyone aged 16+, on your own or together. Self-leadership is where performance starts.

You might be a young person working out what's next, or a parent, guardian or mentor who has spent the year supporting everyone else. You might be a leader carrying high-stakes decisions. Wherever you are, it all begins with how you lead yourself. Same skill, different scale.

Accelerate gives you a full day away from the everyday to have time to reflect on 2026, set goals that matter to you, and start planning 2027.

Come on your own, or bring a young person with you. If you come as a pair, you'll work side by side, each on your own reflection and your own plan.

Two experts in the room to support you

I'm Zoë Thompson, Strategic Leadership Consultant and Coach, and your host for the day. I'll guide you through reflection, goal setting and planning using my PIIPS Framework. These are the same self-leadership principles I use with senior leaders and organisations, adapted to work at whatever stage of life you're at.

I will be joined by the wonderful Helen Taylor-Brimson, who is a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner. Helen will lead an interactive session on looking back to help you to move forward, helping you make sense of the year you've had and build the confidence to plan the next one.

Who it's for

Whether you're 16 or 60, this day is for you if you:

• know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start;
• are busy all the time but not sure it's taking you where you want to go;
• are ready to grow into the next version of yourself;
• feel held back by self-doubt, overthinking or motivation that comes and goes;
• want routines and boundaries that make space for what matters to you.

Whatever's next, whether that's a new role, a business, sixth form, university, an apprenticeship or simply a better year than this one, you'll leave knowing what you want and how you're going to get there.

If you're reading this thinking "that's me" and "that's them too", bring them with you!

You'll leave with:

• clarity on what 2026 has taught you;
• a personalised plan for 2027 and a clear starting point;
• goals built around what matters to you;
• a clearer picture of who you're becoming;
• the confidence and mindset strategies to follow through;
• routines and boundaries that work for your life;
• your completed workbook to keep you on track.

Accelerate runs 3 times a year: January to launch the year, June for a mid-year check-in, and November to close the year and plan the next.

Earlybird tickets are £99 until 31st October, or £149 for an adult and young person bundle. Lunch, refreshments and your workbook are included.

Life is not just about reaching your goals; it's who you become in the process. Set yourself up for success that feels as good as it looks.
