Three Things Every Top-Performing Brand Needs in 2026

I had the privilege of speaking at a small, intimate retreat in Myrtle Beach with top-performing female real estate agents—women who are already succeeding in their markets but want 2026 to look different. Bigger. Smarter. More aligned.


They invited me to teach a session called “Three Things Every Top-Performing Brand Needs in 2026.” And while the content was powerful, the real magic happened afterward during four private 45-minute mentoring sessions—one-on-one brand intensives where we dove into their digital presence, messaging, and hidden strengths.


This experience was the beginning of a new direction for Hibiscus Creative: "Brand Retreats for Business Owners."


The Session: Clarity, Consistency, Visibility

My group session focused on the framework I’ve been developing over the last year:

  • Clarity – What you stand for

  • Consistency – How you show up

  • Visibility – How you get found (including AEO)


Each woman worked through a printed worksheet designed to spark reflection. It wasn’t about lectures—it was about transformation.


These women realized quickly:

Marketing isn’t about doing more. It's about being intentional with what you’re already doing.


45 Minutes That Changed Everything....One-on-One Intensives

This is where the deeper work happened.

Each woman met with me privately to:

  1. review her Instagram and Google Business profile

  2. identify gaps in messaging or visuals

  3. locate her brand inconsistencies

  4. uncover her true personality (her brand energy)

  5. spot AEO opportunities

  6. refine her bio

  7. sharpen her positioning

  8. and discover her “three power words”


And here’s the twist:

I didn’t tell them their power words; I let them discover them.

They felt it. They said it. They wrote it down. That’s what brand clarity feels like.


What Made This Format Special:

This retreat worked because it was small. personal. real.

There were no big stages. No slides. No noise.


It was women having honest conversations about:

  • who they really are

  • what they want 2026 to look like

  • the kind of clients they want to attract

  • the platforms they want to show up on

  • the version of themselves they’re becoming


This wasn’t a conference; it was a transformation moment.


Why Brand Retreats Matter in 2026

Business owners need more than information—they need guidance, reflection, and hands-on clarity. Also, what group of women don't want to go on a retreat to better themself? Every woman would say YES to a retreat. Let's create it! Brand retreats create space for:

  • deeper brand understanding

  • strategic planning

  • new ideas

  • honest feedback

  • community

  • accountability

  • and visibility breakthroughs


The businesses who win in 2026 are not the ones doing the most—they’re the ones doing the right things consistently.

This Myrtle Beach weekend confirmed something for myself:

"I want to do more of this!"
