Improved decision-making: learning what others have done in a similar situation as well as what to avoid.

Erasing the “it’s lonely at the top” syndrome. You will meet peers who know how tough it is to run a business.

Giving back as a cure: Being there to support one’s peers is a strong antidote to dealing with one’s own concerns.

Dedicated time working “on” your business: Setting aside time to work on business strategy is important, and a roundtable ensures you keep that promise to yourself.

Build a network of trusted fellow entrepreneurs: Develop these relationships during and in between sessions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1615563226348{background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”What topics are discussed in a typical roundtable?” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:left|color:%23dd9933″ google_fonts=”font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]The topics are as varied as the individuals who attend a session.

It’s not about giving advice, but sharing experiences and asking key questions that can help you see an issue from a different perspective.”
