The Groups
Peer groups are confidential, collaborative spaces for small business owners and CEOs to solve problems, share knowledge, and unlock growth. With 6 to 12 local non-competitive members, these groups meet monthly to troubleshoot roadblocks, vet ideas, and discover blind spots. Members mentor and learn from one another, sharing expertise and different perspectives. Together, everyone faces their fears to gain clarity and courage to live their dreams.
Meeting Highlights:
- Custom Agendas: Collaboratively set by members to address pressing issues and explore opportunities.
- Deep Dives: Topics like KPI selection, financial metrics, and operational strategies are explored.
- Guest Speakers: At the group’s discretion, experts may join to share insights on agreed-upon topics.
Meetings are designed to provide actionable takeaways while fostering a nonjudgmental, safe space for open dialogue. The program also includes one-on-one coaching, consulting, and ongoing access to your confidential network.
Member Expectations:
- Be open, vulnerable, and willing to embrace feedback for personal and professional growth.
- Commit fully to the group, sharing candidly and supporting others.
- Maintain confidentiality—what’s shared stays in the group.
- Keep the meetings a “no-sell zone,” focused solely on learning and collaboration.
- Take responsibility for decisions and follow through on action steps.
