Running a business may leave you making decisions alone at the top.  If you are like most business owners, your family and friends cannot fully appreciate what it takes to run and grow a business. As a business owner, you face challenges that are common to business owners. We recognize the value of learning from each other (which is cheaper than hiring consultants). That's why we formed these "executive peer groups." Come discuss challenges and issues with your business peers who have built comp …

Do you enjoy the arts, crafts or gardening? The experience of making - or simply appreciating art can be healing. In times of stress, I've found that the act of creating (whether a drawing, painting, collage or a garden) is calming and restorative. We'll plan a variety of activities. Your ideas are welcome. This may be an opportunity to share your skill or learn a new one. The group is open to everyone - no previous experience necessary.
