“We’ve been in business for almost 20 years, but have started to hit a level of growth that I knew would require us to refocus in a few areas. After meeting Traci & Tom, I decided to bring in Navigate the Journey to help us through the StratOp process. We were all a bit apprehensive at first, but it turned out great. The process and meetings afterwards have helped provide clarity and process for our team that will help us achieve our goals in the coming years. It’s also added a layer of accountability for all of us that’s helpful.” JAY OWEN Owner, Design Extensions

My name is Bret Starr and I am the founder and CEO of The Starr Conspiracy. We are a 60-person integrated business-to-business marketing agency. Truth be told, we were running a pretty good agency before we implemented EOS. Our client satisfaction and employee satisfaction consistently exceed industry norms. However, we knew we could do more and be more if we applied a more diligent approach to “working on the business” along with “working in the business.” We’ve been working with Tom Barrett for nearly a year now, and the operating system he has helped us implement to manage our business has opened up our opportunities for growth by an order of magnitude (in the truest sense of that phrase — we have 10x the opportunity now than we did before working with Tom to implement EOS. It’s not easy. But it works. I recommend EOS to any executive or business owner that wants to get everyone in his or her company aligned with a vision and rowing in the same direction. It’s not a silver bullet and it’s not a trick or a shortcut. If you’re willing to put the time and discipline in to implementing (and sticking to) a proven method for driving the attainment of your company’s goals, then EOS is a great process for you. Tom has been with us every step of the way. Sometimes you have to go outside of your company to gain the objective perspective you need to take your business to the next level. We couldn’t have achieved the amazing results that are starting to snowball for us if it weren’t for Tom Barrett and EOS. They are part of our story now, and I hope we are part of their’s.

“Recently our business was in need of some focus and clarity around our organization, looking back at what got us here and looking forward to what’s next. Tom led our entire team of 12 people through the two-day StratOp workshops. The two days were jam packed with valuable insights and discussion and resulted in a refreshed focus on our mission and vision with the entire team aligned around it.” Jeremy Burrows Founder, We the Collective

Let Us Run Your Next Digital Agency Retreat!










Productive Meetings Run By Objective Facilitators










Open, Honest Dialogue Leading To Powerful Breakthroughs










Leave With An Action-Oriented Plan Your Team Will Implement
Let us customize the best approach for your agency’s next retreat.
We utilize Tom & Traci to facilitate our leadership team strategic planning retreats & companywide retreats with our fully distributed team of over 40 people. Navigate the Journey’s value is not just in leading our retreats, but also in following up to ensure we execute the plan we created during our retreats – if it weren’t for Tom checking in on us we would have quickly fallen back into our client-only focus. If you are looking for an outside coach and advisor to help your company determine how to focus and grow as a company, as a team, or as a leader, then I highly recommending reaching out to Tom or Traci.
