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 an intimate group of 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 IN FORUM?

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 only speak from prior experience, letting you draw your own conclusions on the best manner to proceed.

HOW DO I JOIN A FORUM?

Upon joining EO Arizona, the chapter’s Forum Chair will work to place you into a Forum. You may begin a new Forum with other members who have also recently joined, or you may join a pre-existing Forum. Your Forum Chair will ensure your Forum is a good fit for you, both in size and in industry (since you might not want to share the room with competitors).

KEY EXECUTIVE FORUMS

Key executives often exist in a special space between their company’s owner/founder and the general staff of the company that’s just as isolating as the owner role. KEF is meant to connect them with a group of peers who can address experiences related to that position and provide a space to safely share business and personal challenges and accomplishments.

SPOUSE/LIFE PARTNER FORUMS

SLP’s are supporters, co-creators, co-founders, executives, co-parents, coworkers, and co-visionaries for the life they’re creating with their partner. SLP Forum is meant to connect them with a group of peers who can address experiences related to those positions and provide a space to safely share their challenges and wins in their personal life, business life and larger communities and responsibilities. Forum training for SLP’s is a free benefit to the member.
