Executive Dialogue is a forum for business owners, CEO, CFOs and COOs to discuss common and not so common business problems and solutions in a frank and confidential environment. Participants meet monthly in groups of approximately 8-12 people. Competitors are not placed in the same group.

Each group provides its members with support and consultation on any business issue. The group to which you are assigned can function as an unpaid board of directors for your business – discussing important business issues and providing you with a place to build trusted relationships with other business owners.

Executive Dialogue is not a networking group but rather a professional support network to help propel you towards your business goals. Members do not sell to one another.

How does it work?

Participants determine a day of the week and time of day to schedule a monthly meeting. It is essential that each member is an active participant committed to supporting their peers.

We recommend each group designates one of the members to act as a group leader and provide meeting reminders a week prior to the scheduled meeting. It is also beneficial to have another member act as a facilitator to keep the group focused on the topic or agenda.

The benefits…

Executive Dialogue allows experienced professionals to carve valuable time for what matters most – your business!
