What to expect: First 90 days of Bloom Growth OS™

Day 1: Building the vision

On Day 1, the smallest version of your leadership team gathers offsite—typically three to seven people. This intimate group represents your core decision-makers, and keeping it lean is intentional.

The day begins with a crucial realization: you’re away from workplace distractions, phones are put aside, and the team commits to being fully present. For many leaders, this represents the first time they’ve truly stepped back to work on the business rather than in it.

Key activities on Day 1

Co-creating a 5-Year Vision. Your team dreams big together, building toward the same exciting future from the start. This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s creating a meaningful and measurable north star.

Establishing quarterly priorities. All those great ideas get transformed into clear, achievable 90-day goals. Teams finally focus on what matters and finish what they start.

Designing the ideal leadership team structure. You create an initial draft of your future organizational structure, one you’ll grow into over the next 12 months.

Deeper bond conversation. Through structured activities, leaders open up and share, strengthening trust and personal connections in ways that surprise even skeptical team members.

Launching the Bloom Weekly meeting. Teams establish a consistent communication cadence to stay on track from Day 1 forward.

Day 1 outcomes

After the first full-day session, teams walk away with clarity through prioritization—focus areas become sharper and actionable. There’s a sense of structure around leadership roles and organizational dynamics that didn’t exist before.

Most importantly, participants feel honored to be part of the strategic conversation, often for the first time in their careers.

One Bloom Growth client shared this reaction: “The ‘burliest’ team member said it was the best part of his day. He admitted that although he worked with one of the owners every day, he had never even seen pictures of that owner’s children until then.”

Day 30: Transformation takes root

By Day 30, something shifts. Leadership teams have been running weekly Bloom Weekly meetings, and they’re seeing tangible proof of progress automatically tracked by the software.

Teams begin saying things like, “This is so much better than what we were doing before.” The excitement about the 5-Year Vision starts to take hold.

There’s a realization that they’re working toward something bigger and better than they ever thought possible.

Key activities on Day 30

Writing letters from your future self. Team members visualize who they’ll become over the next five years, write it down in detail, and share it with the team—creating powerful alignment around personal and professional growth. → This article about perseverance dives deeper into how daily execution translates to vision.

Rewriting internal dialogue. Leaders bring awareness to negative narratives and reframe the stories that may be holding them back, freeing up mental energy for actual productivity.

Focusing only on important metrics. The team simplifies Growth Goals and weekly KPIs to understand the actions that actually move those numbers forward.

Tracking what predicts success. Instead of only measuring results, teams monitor weekly activities like calls, meetings, and outreach that predict future wins.

Aligning heads and hearts. Teams articulate their What, How, and Why to ensure everyone works toward the same company purpose with both intellectual and emotional buy-in.

Day 30 outcomes

Growth gets simplified by identifying the weekly actions that drive results. Teams move from being overwhelmed by data to having clear KPIs that predict future outcomes and enable proactive decision-making.

Leadership teams start having the best, most productive weekly meetings they’ve ever experienced. Communication and execution improve dramatically.

This approach aligns with psychological research on cognitive reframing, which shows that leaders with higher cognitive flexibility are more effective at managing change, thinking strategically, and building resilient teams.

Perhaps most importantly, mental energy gets freed up for actual productivity. Leaders identify the negative stories that have been draining their energy and redirect that bandwidth toward getting real work done.

Day 60: Bridging present to future

By Day 60, teams walk into the room with completely different energy. They’re not wondering what comes next—they’re aligned, focused, and genuinely excited to be working together.

This is when you hear comments like, “I finally see how everything connects,” and “We’re not just busy anymore—we’re actually building something.”

Even the skeptic who’s been quietly wondering if all this effort is worth it often has their biggest breakthrough.

The team has successfully bridged the gap between their big 5-Year Vision and what they’re doing today. For the first time, they can see their roadmap for growth—not just wishful thinking, but a clear, practical path forward.

Key activities on Day 60

Creating the 3-Year Future. With guidance from their coach, the team paints a detailed picture that attracts and retains top talent while connecting long-term vision to near-term action.

Setting Annual Goals. The team identifies 5-7 must-win priorities for the year ahead, breaking down the 3-Year Future into manageable steps.

Understanding relationship traps. Teams learn about common patterns that drain energy and damage trust, gaining tools to recognize and avoid these pitfalls.

Conducting a Personal Energy Audit. Leaders examine where they’re spending time and reallocate to higher-value activities instead of getting stuck in old patterns.

Defining Core Values. The team clarifies values with supporting stories that bring them to life, preparing to share these throughout the organization.

Day 60 outcomes

Leaders move from reactive to strategic, from frustrated to focused. They’re not just working harder—they’re working on what actually matters.

The path from today to five years out becomes visible and actionable.

Day 90: The transformation accelerates

After 90 days, leaders often say, “How did we ever function before this?”

Day 90 marks a critical transition point. The leadership team has spent three months working exclusively together, building trust, aligning on vision, and learning the system.

Now it’s time to finalize the foundational elements that will guide the entire organization forward.
