What People Say About FOCUSED Forums


"I feel like I am more equipped to run and grow a profitable business, than ever before."

"FOCUSED Forums has given me a new vision and new direction for my company. The group lets me grow and challenge myself through the exchange of ideas that cannot be learned from reading a book or attending a class."

"The group is great. I am so glad I got involved. Thanks for your persistence in bringing me into the Forum."

"Even though I was quiet for much of the last session, my thoughts were enriched on many different levels. The group provides much needed balance and insight to run our business better."

For Business Owners

Owning a business can be as rewarding as it is challenging. A confidential, professionally facilitated peer group affords business owners the opportunity for high level discussion, brain storming and problem solving with other non-competing business owners. During monthly Forums, business owners learn new ways of working through more complex issues and how to make better, faster and more lasting decisions.

Member topics address every aspect of business, for instance -

  • Company culture and accountability.
  • Supporting expansion with current infrastructure.
  • Compensation, benefits and rewarding the team.
  • Finding new business and retaining current customers.
  • Succession planning, and retiring loyal employees.
  • Maximizing vendor and banking relationships.
  • Coaching, mentoring and training staff members.
  • Mergers, acquisitions and relocation.

For Emerging Leaders

Imparting real world working knowledge to the next generation of leaders is not an easy task regardless of the industry or size of company. The next generation of business leaders needs and wants to expedite the learning curve, while the current leadership usually does not have the time to teach. FOCUSED Forums for Emerging Leaders offers a facilitated group environment where the next generation of leaders come together monthly to learn about business from real world experiences.

Monthly Forums will address every aspect of business including,

  • Leadership.
  • Culture, branding, accountability and communications.
  • Business planning, delegation, and execution.
  • Financial reporting and management.
  • Legal documents and policies.
  • Human Resources.
  • Business and staff management.
  • Sales and marketing.
  • Getting the products and services to the customers.
  • Customer service and exceeding customer expectations.
