What is Forum?
What would you give for a personal board of advisors, for the ability to tap into a small group of fellow business owners who can offer you direction based on their experiences? This invaluable access is available through Forum, a unique member-driven experience offered by EO that brings together a group of eight to 12 entrepreneurs for peer-to-peer learning and support. Participants take part in monthly meetings employing special protocols to support a trusting environment in which they can safely explore business and personal-growth issues.
What happens at Forum meetings?
We can share 95 percent of our lives with anyone. During Forum meetings, members discuss the other five percent --the triumphs and tragedies of life as an entrepreneur. Moderator-trained EO members, not paid facilitators, guide the sessions, which emphasize confidentiality, personal responsibility and the sharing of lessons learned. Members don't give advice; they speak from prior experience, letting you draw your own conclusions on the best manner to proceed.
How do I join a Forum?
Upon joining the organization, your chapter's Forum Chair will work to place you into a Forum. You may begin a new Forum with other members who join at the same time, or you may join a pre-existing Forum. Your Forum Chair will ensure you are placed with the right number and mix of business owners to avoid sharing the room with competitors.
