GOOCHLAND, VA – November 25, 2025 – As businesses prepare for the challenges and opportunities of the coming year, Your Path Coaching and Consulting is proud to announce a collaborative workshop titled "Focus Forward: Building Your 2026 Success Plan." Hosted in partnership with Bizworks and the Goochland Chamber of Commerce, this interactive session is designed to help local leaders turn their vision into a clear, actionable roadmap for sustainable success.

Event Details:

  • Date: Tuesday, December 02, 2025

  • Time: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM

  • Location: Goochland Chamber of Commerce Office, 2931 River Rd W, Goochland, VA 23063

Why attend this strategy workshop?

During this workshop, participants will move beyond traditional planning that focuses solely on the bottom line. This workshop introduces participants to the Balanced Scorecard framework. By integrating this proven methodology, Your Path Coaching and Consulting will guide attendees in setting objectives across four critical perspectives:

  1. Financial: Defining tangible financial goals and revenue targets.

  2. Customer: Understanding and enhancing the customer experience and value proposition.

  3. Internal Processes: Optimizing operational efficiency and key business processes.

  4. Learning & Growth: Fostering a culture of continuous improvement, skill development, and organizational capacity.

This comprehensive framework is used by many Fortune 500 companies but can be leveraged by small business owners to simplify their goals and strategies into a one-page strategy document. Participants will leave not just with a list of goals, but with a better understanding of how people and processes come together to help business leaders attract customers and grow bottom-line income.


Providing Strategic Direction for 2026

"Strategy is about defining the things you will say no to," says executive strategist Dorian Cunion from Your Path Coaching and Consulting. "By partnering with Bizworks and the Goochland Chamber, we are excited to bring executive-level coaching and strategy workshops to our local business community. Our goal is to empower organizations to reach their full potential and create positive, lasting change."

For Immediate Release:

ASHLAND, VA – In a business landscape where burnout is prevalent and workplace purpose can feel elusive, Your Path Coaching and Consulting is proud to announce a strategic partnership with CMdA Consulting to bring a high-impact professional development experience to Hanover County.

The upcoming workshop, "Finding Fulfillment at Work in 2026," will take place on December 8 at 2:00 PM at the Dominion Energy Innovation Center in Downtown Ashland. This exclusive session is designed for business owners and professionals seeking to master prioritization, practical goal-setting, and resilience.


Moving Beyond Standard Goal-Setting

Traditional business planning often focuses solely on metrics and checklists. However, this workshop introduces a human-centered approach that integrates mental fitness with strategic execution.

"We are moving beyond will-power and providing practice skills to help business owners achieve more fulfillment," says Dorian Cunion, Executive Coach at Your Path Coaching and Consulting. "To achieve more fulfillment, you need the combination of a solid strategy, and the right mindset to achieve your goals."


A Framework to Find Fulfillment

Attendees will gain access to three models designed to create lasting change:

  • The Power6 Leader Framework: Designed to help business owners build the six skills they need to be an effective leader.

  • The Co-Active Model: a framework for helping leaders define what they want to do, and overcome sabotaging thoughts.

  • A Hybrid Goal Architecture: Weaves the ambition of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) with the precision of SMART criteria.


Local Leadership and Proven Impact

The workshop is co-led by Executive Strategist Dorian Cunion and Employee Activator Cristina Martinez de Andino of CMdA Consulting.


The impact of Your Path Coaching and Consulting is already felt in the local community. Antonio Miller, Executive Director of the Downtown Ashland Association, credits his own professional growth to this coaching.

"Everyone in the daily grind should feel fulfilled in their work," says Miller. "When I became Executive Director, I worked one-on-one with Dorian Cunion until I was ready to run. Bringing both Dorian and Cristina to Ashland is one more way we’re (Downtown Ashland Association) helping the Center of the Universe—and beyond—find joy in their work."

As we move toward 2026, many business leaders and professionals are preparing their annual goals. Often, they begin with the best of intentions and rely on the same tools they used last year. If you are happy with the results you have been getting, then using the same approach makes sense. But if you are not satisfied with the progress you made over the last year, it might be time to mix things up.

To achieve sustainable growth in 2026, leaders need a system that aligns mindset, leadership, and execution. At Your Path Coaching & Consulting, we call this the Path Maker Program. This model connects Mental Fitness, Leadership Proficiency, and Goal Architecture into one cohesive framework for high performance.


Mental Fitness: The Foundation of Resilient Growth

Every leader encounters moments of stress, doubt, or self-criticism while pursuing ambitious goals. These internal barriers, known as Saboteurs in the Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework, quietly undermine progress.


While many goal-setting systems emphasize external actions, true performance begins within. Mental fitness builds the neural pathways that help you shift from self-sabotage to self-command. Focusing on mindfulness can enhance your focus, creativity, and emotional resilience, which are the capacities that sustain execution when challenges arise.

In 2025, many clients who began embracing mindfulness strategies reported that their productivity improved not because they worked harder but because they learned to intercept negative thought patterns and recover more quickly from setbacks. This kind of internal agility is what sets the stage for lasting success in 2026.


Leadership Proficiency: The Power6 Leader Advantage

The second pillar of the Path Maker Program is Leadership Proficiency, built on the Power6 Leader framework.


Under the Power6 leader framework, leadership begins with two simple principles:

  • Build a culture of teamwork

  • Protect team momentum.

At the team level, that means creating structures that maintain clarity, accountability, and consistent progress. When applied personally, it means identifying and neutralizing the internal forces that stall motivation.


The 2026 Goal-Setting Workbook integrates these Power6 Leader practices directly into its structure. It helps you align your leadership behaviors with your daily performance. Each 90-day cycle invites reflection on what drives or drains momentum so you can adjust quickly and keep moving forward.


Goal Architecture: Turning Strategy into Momentum

Even the best mindset and leadership habits need direction. That is where Goal Architecture comes in.

The workbook combines proven systems such as OKRs, SMART goals, and holistic goal design to provide structure without rigidity. Instead of an annual checklist, it introduces the 90-Day Planning and Execution Cycles. This helps you view the year as four focused sprints which promote adaptability, clarity, and measurable progress.


This cyclical approach mirrors how high-performing organizations operate. Plan, act, review, and recalibrate. Each quarter becomes a learning cycle that keeps your strategy aligned with evolving priorities and external changes.


The Integration Point: From Framework to Performance System

Each pillar individually strengthens a core area of performance. Together, they form an integrated architecture that links inner resilience to effective execution.

  • Mental Fitness secures your internal foundation.

  • Power6 Leadership enforces accountability and structure.

  • Goal Architecture directs your energy toward strategic outcomes.

This alignment transforms goal setting from a once-a-year exercise into a continuous performance system that supports sustained growth and personal well-being.


Looking Ahead to 2026

In 2026, success will not belong to those who merely plan. It will belong to those who can adapt, stay grounded, and sustain momentum through uncertainty.


If you are preparing your 2026 goals, do not just list targets. Build your system. Strengthen your mindset. Protect your momentum.


That is the essence of the Path Maker Program and the foundation of the 2026 Goal-Setting Workbook.
