This group program is for you if...
- You don’t have a business plan and know you need one, but doing dirty dishes, dealing with loads of laundry, or even getting a head start on next year’s taxes all sound way more appealing (ugh!)
- You’ve tried to do a business plan the “traditional way” and you got stuck, overwhelmed, and demotivated
- You already have a business plan, but you need to breathe new life into it
- You don't like spreadsheets but you understand the importance of knowing your numbers
- AND you’d be a heck of a lot happier planning your business in the same intuitive, authentic, and expressive way that you live your creative life (yes, indeed, it WILL be that fun and fulfilling!)
You get the following (and much, much more!) from this intensive program:

- Guidance and insight… to help you finally complete your plan
- Eight weeks of creative and practical assignments including inspiring, informational, and instructional videos plus juicy reading material.
- Exercises and templates that cover the financials, marketing plan, competitive analysis, goal setting, action plans, and building a team (all in a right-brain, creative way, of course!) and fun illustrated play sheets.
- Access to a private Facebook group to connect with and learn from me, your licensed Right-Brain Business Plan course facilitator, and from your fellow participants.

Calls with Kiala are not only inspiring, but are literally chock full of business strategy ideas that I never even dreamed were possible. She generously provides the ideas and then helps you to brainstorm action plans that turn the ideas into reality. Her keen eye saw potential in me and my business that I didn't even know existed. I get so energized and empowered from our calls that I have to be careful when we talk or else I am too excited to sleep! I look forward to each call and smile for an hour afterward! -- Kelly Johnson of Wings Worms and Wonder.

Here's how I see Kiala: she is part magician, idea wrangler, business insight strategist. Most of all though, I find her to be a creative visionary, who holds space powerfully, and continues to keep me on track toward creating an actual online business. Each time we have a coaching session, she reminds me to look at what I've created. This is really an important idea because it's all to easy not to see (believe) in what I've done. Kiala is big on reminding me to celebrate my accomplishments.
So, if you are ready to create, and get your offerings out into the world, this is where you need to be. This course offers a wealth of information and ideas that will help you in your business building process. Kiala provides knowledge, strategies and steps for creating a business that is sustainable, and one that will move you toward prospering emotionally and financially. So get yourself ready and prepared to step into the winner's circle. Let Kiala guide you toward what's waiting to be created by you. -- Dr. M. Ruth McCants, SoulSoundInsights.com

Course Outline & Overview
|
INTRODUCTION & CRAFTING YOUR BUSINESS VISION & VALUESWe will spend time getting to know your business and really taking an intentional look at what matters to you as a creative business owner.
|
|
PAINTING THE PICTURE OF YOUR BUSINESS LANDSCAPELooking at your business from a bird's eye view helps you to see what you might be missing when you stand too close. This look at the overall landscape allows you to see all the parts of your business and how they fit together.
|
|
GETTING THE WORD OUT WITH MARKETINGThe most important part of your business is the people you serve. We will take a look at this from a starting place of identifying your perfect customers so that you can begin building relationships with them.
|
|
MANAGING THE MOOLALet's talk money. You do want to make money right?
Business is all about the numbers, but don't worry, we will approach this with the right brain touch. |
|
CORRALLING YOUR CREATIVE COHORTSHere we focus on the beauty of community over competition and start to look at who is in your circle, your tribe, your sphere of influence so that you can build each other up and be guided by the spirit of collaboration.
|
|
ACTION PLANNINGThis is my favorite part of the program. I'm an action taker. I believe in the power of DOING what you say you want to do. How else does it happen?
We will spend time talking about necessary and effective action steps you must take to build a plan you love. |
|
WEAVING IT ALL TOGETHEROkay. Now that you have looked at all the parts of a business plan and mapped out your future, how do we bring those things together in one place so that it makes sense?
That's what we will do together during our 7th module. Time to put it all together. We will also look at the traditional business plan for those that want to go that route. |
|
CELEBRATION AND COMPLETIONWhat fun would it be if we did all this work and didn't celebrate at the end?
NONE!! So, grab your party hat and let's have a little show and tell and celebrate all the small and large wins you've had along the way. |

Kiala Givehand is a rare blessing. Her remarkable breadth of knowledge is equal to her sweetness of heart and brightness of spirit... her energy surpassing them all! She is fire and light in perfect harmony with earth and matter, helping us bring into solid and glorious form, the business of our dreams. -- Maria Caruso of Cour de Grace |
|
I got to know Kiala through an online Right Brain Business Plan® course she facilitated. Group ecourses can be a challenging, impersonal medium, but Kiala has a real gift for breaking down the artificial barriers of being online. Somehow she made me feel like her bubbly, warm, and supportive self was right there in the room with me. Not only did she create and hold a learning space for the group, offer guidance and provide oodles of resources, she participated as ONE of us, right there along side us. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again! -- Tori Deaux of Circus Serene |
|
Kiala's fresh approach opens up new doors of creative growth, whether she is facilitating a group, coaching an individual about their business, or teaching mixed media bookmaking. In the Right Brain Business Plan® mentorship program, I have experienced her as a powerful resource and gentle joy-maker who helps me and others overcome obstacles that get in the way of our business visions, and she encourages us to embrace possibility and ease. -- Susan Miller, Lighted Path Coaching |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE PROGRAM?
This program is based on the Right Brain Business Plan by Jennifer Lee so you will all be working through Jenn's Home Study version of the course together on a week-by-week basis while getting my "real time" support through coaching calls, an active Facebook Group, and additional accountability through Power Hour sessions.
All of the Home Study material will be hosted on Jennifer Lee's platform, while the replays of our calls will be housed on my business school -- The Freedom Training Ground.
At the beginning of each week, you’ll receive an e-mail with links to that week’s assignments from Jennifer's system (weeks 2 and 3 will have an additional assignment posted on Wednesday). Each week will include a video, juicy reading materials, and creative exercises, plus some weeks will also have an MP3 audio file and fun playsheets (who needs worksheets when you’re doing right-brain business planning?!).
You will also receive a mid-week and end-of-week check-in with additional exercises and suggested challenges. We encourage you to post your homework to our private Facebook group by the end of each week – not only will it help hold you accountable, but you’ll also get to be supported and inspired by your fellow creative cohorts.
There is no “scheduled” time for “class” except for the group calls (which will be recorded in case you can’t make it live) and the PowerHour sessions. You can do all of the assignments on your own time. Anticipate spending at least 3-5 hours (or more, if you’re super gung-ho!) each week on the course.
The private Facebook group will be archived 30 days after the course concludes to give you some extra time to catch up on conversations and posts. Even after the course ends, you’ll still have unlimited access to stream the videos and download the reading materials on both my site and Jenn's.
WHAT IF I DON'T FINISH ALL OF THE ASSIGNMENTS ON TIME?
The course is meant to jumpstart your planning process and to help provide a structure to guide you along. If you’re not able to complete all of the assignments each week, don’t stress out – you can do them all on your own time.
WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE?
You will need a copy of the book The Right-Brain Business Plan: A Creative Visual Map for Success to follow along with the program. If you don’t have a copy yet, you can order it on Amazon, or you can order it from Jennifer (PLEASE NOTE: After you register for the e-Course, you will receive a special discount code for getting 20% off of the book and/or the kit when you order from Jennifer)
Technical requirements: A computer, reliable Internet access, Facebook membership, and the ability to watch online videos, listen to MP3 files, and view PDFs. In addition to those items, you’ll need to download the ZOOM app for our live sessions and PowerHour calls. I also recommend you print out the illustrated playsheets in color for maximum creative inspiration, so a color printer is ideal (but not required). Visit your local office supply store or copy center if you don't have a color printer. You may also want to have a digital camera or scanner to document and post your visual plan, but that’s optional.
Supplies: We’ll be doing various creative activities, so here are the basic types of supplies we’ll use – paper, pens/markers, magazines, scissors, glue, Post-it Notes, but you’re encouraged to use whatever materials that inspire you!
An open mind and willingness to have fun!
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE BUSINESS?
We know many creative entrepreneurs have a plethora of passions. If you have multiple businesses or business ideas, we suggest focusing on one business as you go through the exercises. It will keep things more simple and manageable for you. Once you go through the process for one business, it’ll be easier to repeat it again for the next. When you’re done you can look at both plans to see the big picture of your creative enterprise.
WHAT IF I'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR AWHILE ALREADY OR IF I ALREADY HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN?
The Right-Brain Business Plan® process can be used to flesh out a specific new product or service you’re wanting to offer or to explore how you will take your business to the next level. You will learn tools and techniques for approaching your business from a fresh perspective. If you’ve been feeling bored by your business or you’ve lost connection with your authentic expression, this course will give you the creative spark you need.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE COURSE FACILITATOR?
As your licensed Right-Brain Business Plan facilitator I will be supporting you in the course through the coaching calls, Facebook facilitation, and PowerHour sessions. RBBP creator and author Jennifer Lee will be delivering the recorded video teaching segments in the course modules.
I’ll be your friendly companion and ally who will guide you through the creative business planning process and I’ll offer lots of passionate inspiration along with practical information. I’m there to answer your questions as best as I can, point you to additional resources, challenge you to stretch yourself, and facilitate group sharing and learning.
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS EXPERIENCE?
Show up: Engage yourself fully in the process. Read the materials, watch the videos, do your assignments and post them on the forum, participate actively in the online community. The more you put in to this experience, the more you’ll get out of it.
Be curious: Ask questions and be willing to try new things, learn, and venture outside your comfort zone.
Offer feedback: If something isn’t quite working for you in the course, please let me know, offer a suggestion, and/or make a specific request and I will do my best to address your concern. This is a two-way street and we’re co-creating our experience together, so I invite your insights.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RIGHT-BRAIN BUSINESS PLAN BOOK , KIT, HOME STUDY, AND THIS FACILITATED ONLINE RBBP PROGRAM?
This online RBBP program is facilitator-led in real time as you work through each week of content, whereas the book and kit are DIY. The regular RBBP Home Study version is self-paced with no leader responding to questions (as part of this program you will get access to the RBBP Home Study but I will be pointing you to the particular exercises each week and will be guiding, nudging, and empowering you all the way through). During the facilitated e-Course you can ask your burning questions and get online coaching from me, your leader. Plus, you can connect with a community of other creative entrepreneurs who are going through the same process as you. Valuable learning, sharing, and brainstorming happens between participants and you might even find new business buddies. It’s a lot easier to get things done when you have the structure, accountability, and camaraderie of a facilitated group.
WHAT IF I CAN NO LONGER PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AND NEED TO CANCEL?
Due to the nature of an online course and the fact that seats are limited, the course registration fee is non-refundable. And all payments are due in full.
Before you sign-up, please make sure you’re fully committed to participating in and completing the course. If you need more information to help you make a solid decision, contact me with your questions BEFORE you purchase.
WHO CAN I CONTACT WITH ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
You can send an email to info[at]kialagivehand.com and I will be in touch as soon as possible. Thanks!
