Give Back to Grow Your Business

Late last year I was asked to step in as a guest resource for a presentation at a local civic group.  Founded by Chris Magginis, the group focuses on bringing together 20 or so local professionals to assist one business a month in advancing past current challenges through the collaborative wisdom of insights group members provide.  I enjoyed my stint as a guest resource so much that when I was asked to participate in the next set of teams, I happily obliged.  What a great way to give back to the community and open the doors to resources for local businesses?  Imagine bringing your business issues to the table, under guarantee of confidentiality, with a group of trusted, volunteer business advisors!  Selected businesses are provided with small group assistance and provide their challenges to the greater body in both written form and then in an open discussion.  Members of The Executive Resource Group then provide insights, suggestions, and feedback designed to guide and assist the business from the various specialty perspectives which sit around the table.  Fantastic.
