Choosing  Your Focus

For 2026

An hour-long online workshop for anyone ready hone in on their top priorities - personally and professionally - for the new year.

Thursday, January 22

9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 6 PM CET

Online

There is so much you could do in 2026, and there’s also so much that could get in your way. 

In this workshop, we’re going to address both sides of this equation, so you can go into 2026 feeling clear about how you want to grow, what you want to accomplish, and what investments of your time and energy will be most meaningful – and effective.  

We are going to help you determine your top areas to focus your time and energy this year in your personal and professional life – a much better strategy in a fast-changing, distracting world than typical goal setting. 

What you can expect: 

A concise, meaningful 60-minute workshop to clarify your top 3 areas of focus in 2026, professionally and personally.

Pre-work that helps you envision a satisfying and meaningful 2026, and identify how to make it happen. 

A live workshop with mix of creative reflective exercises and breakout conversations to develop and clarify your focus areas.

Optional 30-minute informal chat immediately following

A follow-up guide 24-48 hours afterward with all individual workshop exercises and prompts, in case you can't make it live or want to go deeper on your own. 

This sliding-scale workshop starts at $10 USD.

A powerful moment to focus.

Read through all the details, then …

  • This workshop will include a mix of reflective exercises and an opportunity to join breakout groups to share your insights aloud with a warm, likeminded community.

    With the pre-work, live workshop experience and follow-up, you’ll leave with three, clear areas (encompassing both your personal and professional life) that you will focus on in 2026, as well as support, ideas and tools for how to maintain your momentum.

  • Following your registration, you’ll receive pre-work in the form of a worksheet that you can either download or make a copy in Google Docs. You’ll need a minimum of 20 minutes to complete the pre-work. (I’ve made it easy!)

    To make the most of the live workshop:

    🪴 Join from a quiet, comfortable place where you can speak freely

    ✏️ Bring pen, paper or a journal, and pens or colored pencils (for a low-stakes sketching activity)

  • The workshop will not be recorded because I think it feels cozier for participants, and internet privacy is kind of a special thing these days.

    If you can't make it live, you can still participate! I will send a short video containing the slides and all prompts and exercises within 48 hours after the workshop, so that you can still set your focus areas for 2026 on your own.

  • I offer my services at a sliding scale for clients coming from different economic situations and countries. Choose the level that is best for your situation. You are welcome and appreciated at any rate!

    Supported Rate — $10 

    Accessible Rate — $18

    Standard Rate (full value) — $25

  • Due to the nature of this event, I can’t offer refunds.

    If you’re not able to make it live, you will still get the exercises and prompts from our workshop within 28-48 hour afterward and instructions for how to do them on your own.

    The gathering and sharing during the workshop will be very special though, I hope you protect the time and can make it live!

  • What better gift than to invite a friend, family member or work bestie to set intentions for the year alongside you!

    Share this page with them – the more participants we have, the richer the space.

  • Lisa Hoashi is a leadership coach and facilitator with more than 10 years experience helping individuals and teams make the most of transitional moments — moments ripe for clarifying our vision, tuning into our inner compass and taking new action with intention.

    Like Lisa, many of her clients and community are creative and social impact-oriented, living outside their country of origin and/or straddling multiple cultures, and curious adventurers in life and work.

    Lisa will be hosting the workshop from a farm north of Barcelona, and can’t wait to see where you’ll be joining from.

  • "Start the new year grateful and positive"

    It was a GREAT way to start my day and to help me prepare to start the new year grateful and positive!

  • "Inspiring"

    I liked hearing the diversity of people's experiences who were also on the call - inspiring!

    I liked the timing of it - usually I wait until January to do this type of reflection and December feels like a better month so you are clear at the start of a new year what your goals are!

  • "Surprised myself"

    I surprised myself with some of my answers and insights. Also, it was fun seeing the other people in different parts of the world.
