told everyone they had 6 months to move on.

A lawyer shared how he had spent the afternoon with his kids in the pool and the entire time all he was thinking about was

the group.

Each member mentioned to the presenter how they admired and respected him and
how amazed they were at what he had accomplished.
I watched the presenter literally light up and grow larger before my eyes.
He said, “You know, in 20 years no one has ever told me I’m doing a good job.”

Differentiator: Authenticity
We are not a networking group or social gathering.
Our motive is not to cross sell Members services.
Many other ‘peer advisory’ groups are simply fronts to lure business owners.
Professional meeting facilitation drives the group, and the individual, to POSITIVE POSITIVE OUTCOMESOUTCOMES.

Differentiator: 360 Approach
We focus on Members’ business and personal dimensions.
Each person receives what they need, and not a cookie-cutter gimmick solution.
It isn’t academic – it’s REAL LIFEREAL LIFE; each meeting is focused on Members’ specific issues and opportunities.
