company.


Differentiator: The Vision Quest

Members clarify and present their business and personal VISIONVISION to the group.

Enables the Member to create a GAME PLANGAME PLAN for the life they truly want to live.

Members drive ACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY to ensure their actions and decisions are congruent with their visions.


One presenter said, “I finished my Vision Quest last night and then I threw it away. Doing it made me realize I don’t want all

of these employees.”

She went back to the office later that day and

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 business.

The thought of his life being that out of balance brought him to tears in front of

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.
