Plant For Profits: Spring (and beyond) Survival Retreat

Thrive Through the Rush: Stay Focused, Profitable, and Energized During Peak Season


THURSDAY April 16th, 6:00P-7:30PM PDT

Duration: 90 minutes + we can go up to 30 min extra for group questions.
Format: Live Zoom Workshop
Advisor: Leslie Halleck

Description:
The spring season can make or break your year—but it can also overwhelm even the most experienced green industry professionals. Whether you run a garden center, plant shop, greenhouse, landscape designer, or landscaping business, the busiest months often bring long hours, staffing challenges, decision fatigue, and missed opportunities hidden in the chaos.

Our collaborative 90-minute retreat is designed specifically for businesses in the green industry who want to do more than just survive the rush—they want to maximize it.

We’ll discuss how to stay focused on what actively drives revenue, keep your team (or YOURSELF) aligned and motivated, and avoid the common pitfalls that quietly drain profits during your most critical time of year.

This is a group retreat where Leslie will introduce each topic, discuss strategy and tactics, provide exercises, and then participants can questions and contribute thoughts (as you are comfortable) to get specific feedback on unique challenges or opportunities.

Together We’ll Dig Into:

  1. Define what “Peak Season Success” Looks like for YOU
  2. Clarity on Your True Profit Drivers
    Identify the 3–5 key activities that generate the majority of your seasonal revenue—so you and your team stay focused where it matters most.
  3. Spot the Low Hanging Fruit
    How to discern where there are quick opportunities and how you should be spending your time.
  4. Team (or Self) Alignment
    Discover how to keep staff (or yourself) motivated, productive, and customer-focused during high-stress periods—even if you’re short-handed or managing seasonal employees.
  5. Energy & Burnout Management for Owners and Managers
    Peak season stamina is a skill. We’ll discuss practical techniques to maintain energy, make better decisions, and avoid costly mistakes caused by burnout or fear-based reactions.
  6. Capturing Missed Revenue Opportunities
    Uncover the most common ways green industry businesses leave money on the table—and how to avoid and correct.


Who This Is For: Owners, Managers, and Staff of

  • Independent garden centers
  • Plant Shops
  • Greenhouse Growers
  • Landscape Designers
  • Landscaping installation/maintenance
  • Interiorscaping
  • Any small horticulture business gearing up for or in the middle of peak season

Why This Retreat Matters:
Most businesses don’t fail or fall below profit targets because of lack of effort during peak season—they struggle because their effort is scattered, reactive, and exhausting. Your efforts may not be supporting your actual profit goals.

Our retreat will help you turn that intensity into intentional, focused action that drives results and profits (which means a great customer experience)—without classic spring burnout.

What Makes This Different:

  • Tailored specifically to the horticulture and green industry
  • Built for real-world conditions (not ideal scenarios)
  • Focused on immediate, in-season implementation
  • Combines business strategy with both human and horticultural realities!

Outcome:
By the end of this session, you’ll feel more in control, more focused, and more confident about how to navigate your busiest season—while setting your business up for stronger profitability and long-term success.

EXTRA! You will also receive my Coaching Readiness Questionnaire I use to get started with all my clients. It's a very handy tool to self evaluate both the current state of your business and how you FEEL about where you are to identify key opportunities or a need to pivot.
