Description:


Why are some companies exploding with new customers while others just fizzle along?

Inspired leaders of great organizations win customers by first communicating their WHY- what passionately drives their organization to make a difference.


They talk about what they believe in and attract those customers who believe what they believe.


Communicating your WHY to those who believe what you believe sets you apart from your competition.



The Entrepreneur Advisory Roundtable brings together a group of experienced business consultants with a small group of entrepreneurs (20 maximum), in a collaborative and interactive format to offer advice, resources and brainstorming for your business issues.


You’ll gain valuable information to grow your business including:


  • Clarifying your business’ ‘WHY’ and crafting your authentic story
  • Communication strategies for sharing & listening to engage your ‘tribe’
  • Getting people who share your purpose to spread the word on LinkedIn and Facebook
  • Opening doors for collaboration & partnerships to grow your business

During the Roundtable:


  • We’ll present an overview of the Theme including a short TEDTM talk video.
  • We’ll collaboratively show how to apply this thinking by focusing on two of the businesses at the table
  • You’ll gain valuable insights of how to apply these to your business
  • Exploring a case study of a successful company who leads with their 'why'.
  • We’ll break into smaller groups to offer hands on guidance for your individual businesses including exploring the WHY of your business

Networking Opportunity:


This is a great networking opportunity to meet other like-minded conscious business people, coaches and consultants. There will be 30 minutes to meet and greet over coffee and snacks before the roundtable and another 30 minutes at the end.
