The Aligned Intensive

One day to close the gap between who you are and who you’re becoming.

The Aligned Intensive is a full-day experience for high achievers who are ready to move with intention. Not more hustle. Not another goal-setting workshop that fades by February. A day that does the inner work and the strategy together, so neither one falls apart without the other.

What You’ll Experience

We start where most planning processes skip: honest, unfiltered clarity on where you actually are. Not where you wish you were. Where you are.

The Mirror

A felt, embodied sense of where you're going. Not a goal on paper. A lived experience of who you're becoming and what that life actually looks like.

The Vision

This is where strategy meets soul. With clarity on your current reality and your future self, you build a plan that's grounded in both. One that's ambitious and aligned.

Find Your Center

The Aligned Intensive is built on the Center methodology — the same framework that runs through all Ask Deborah work.

What You’ll Walk Away With

You won't leave inspired and empty-handed. Every piece of what you build during the day belongs to you, in your own words, ready to use the moment you get home.

Your Own Words on Paper

A completed workbook capturing your reflections, your priorities, and your plan, all in your handwriting. Because what you write, you own.

Your Next Week, Ready to go

The specific actions that keep momentum alive when real life kicks back in. You'll know exactly what to do Monday morning.

A Clear Annual Vision

One page. Your 12-month focus and quarterly priorities, distilled from the day's work into something you can actually look at and act on.

A Letter to Yourself

You'll write it at the end of the day and we'll mail it back to you in 90 days. A check-in from the version of you who did the work, to the version of you living it.

Your first 90 days mapped

Not someday. The next quarter, broken down and dropped into your calendar before you leave the room.

A Curated Gift

Thoughtfully selected items to support the continued work once the day is done.

Who this Is For

You're already successful, but you know there's a gap between where you are and where you could be


You have goals, but they feel more like wishes than actual plans


You suspect your mindset, not your skillset, is what's holding you back


You're tired of goal-setting workshops that leave you inspired but unchanged


You're ready to invest a full day to get real clarity and real results

Have you been searching for more?

Maybe you’ve been sensing a shift. A shift in yourself and in the world. I’ve been there too. A few years ago, I realized that I needed more from this life. Going a hundred miles an hour and living in the rat race wasn’t cutting it anymore. After a very deep retreat, I had what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. (Never in my life did I think I’d utter those words!) After years of integration work, I have found some peace in my life that wasn’t there before, but it isn’t all love and light either. I wanted a more grounded way to live my life, but I still wanted to be an active participant in my life. I am still ambitious, but I also want alignment. Working through that balance, I have developed a different way to set goals and plan. It’s a grounded way to approach ambitious priority setting that cuts through the noise and sets you on a path that is truly in alignment with your soul. If you’ve been looking for a different way to do business and personal planning, this may be it.

This session combines the strategic planning framework I've used with top-producing teams with the transformational inner work that creates lasting change, not just temporary inspiration.

For over 20 years, Deborah has operated at the intersection of high performance and deep personal work. She has built and led high-producing teams, facilitated strategic planning at the executive level, and spoken at entrepreneurial forums including Braintrust and EO. She knows what it takes to perform. She also knows what it costs. The Aligned Intensive was built from both of those truths.

Our February session took place at Southall, a 325-acre luxury farm and wellness retreat in Franklin, Tennessee.

Gorgeous Southall grounds, Soundbath room, Gathering area, and

the Tulip Poplar room where the all day session was held.

Stay tuned for our next Aligned Intensive.

I work with high performers who are ready to close the gap between strategy and execution, between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

If that resonates, get in touch with any questions.
