Mondrian Gold Coast · Thursday 21 January 2027

Plan your year where your nervous system can actually think.

A full-day business planning retreat by the sea for ten business owners and leaders. We map your natural cycles of work, time your launches, sales, back-end and rest around them, and read the Year of the Fire Goat in before it begins on 6 February.

One day. Ten seats. Your whole year, mapped.

What I keep hearing

Every time I post from the coast, the messages come in. “I wish I was doing this with you.” “I need a day like this in my diary.” Founders and leaders who know their best thinking happens away from the desk, and still never book the day.

Then January arrives, and the sprint begins.

Push hard in Q1, coast through winter, collapse in December. The calendar was built around tax returns and school terms, and nobody asked your energy. So launches land in low cycles. Sales calls get booked when you have nothing left to give. The back end gets ignored until it breaks.

“Your energy has seasons. Your plan should know them.”

The day

Business by the Sea

●When: Thursday 21 January 2027 · 9am to 4:30pm
●Format: Full-day planning retreat · fully catered
●Location: Mondrian Gold Coast, Burleigh Heads
●Spots: 10 business owners and leaders. No more.

I go to the Gold Coast to work on my business. Salt air, a slower pace, a nervous system that’s finally off duty. It’s where I build my systems and map my year. This day brings you into that.

A full working day with your own business, your own numbers and your own design on the table, and me guiding you through every step.

Together we’ll:

  • Map your personal cycles of work: when ideas flow, when selling feels easy, when you’re built for systems and admin
  • Time your 2027 launches, business development and back-end work to those cycles
  • Read the Year of the Fire Goat for business: where it opens doors, and where to be careful
  • Build rest into the plan on purpose, so you stop collapsing into it

You’ll leave with your 2027 mapped and the decision you’ve been circling, made. Stay the night: retreat guests receive an exclusive 20% off accommodation at the Mondrian.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • —You lead a team or run solo, and every big decision lands on you
  • —You plan every January, and by March the plan feels like pressure
  • —You’ve noticed your energy runs in seasons, and your business keeps ignoring them
  • —You’re astrology or Human Design curious, and want it applied to real commercial decisions
  • —You know your best thinking happens away from the desk
  • —You want to walk out with a calendar you’ll actually use

This is not for you if:

  • —You’re after a networking event with name tags
  • —You want a template to copy, rather than a plan built around you
  • —You’re unwilling to look honestly at how you’ve been working

Founder, Leid by Design

I’m a Career, Leadership + Culture Consultant, an Integrative Practitioner and a three-time business owner. I’ve spent years working with founders, leaders and teams across Australia, helping them understand the full picture of how they operate: their behavioural wiring, their productivity style and their energetic design.

I built the LBD Human Operating System because single-lens tools keep getting sold as answers to multi-layer problems. DISC tells you behaviour. Working Genius tells you contribution. Human Design and astrology tell you energy and timing. Each one alone leaves gaps, and the founders burning out were the ones nobody had shown how to bring them together.

Business by the Sea applies that work to the thing most business owners get wrong every January: timing.
