Ready to 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 While Others Stall? 

Join our inVantage Business Guides for this live, in-person session limited to a maximum of 14 participants to maximize dialogue and learning.

Some leaders wait to see what happens. Others gather smart people in a room and make a plan. This event is for the latter. In this 90-minute, small-group session, you’ll talk through the pressures your business is facing and walk through a structured framework of a practical assessment tool to evaluate readiness and resilience. You’ll leave with more than just ideas—you’ll have a sharper sense of what to do next.

In this session, we’ll explore:

  • How prepared your business really is for disruption, and what readiness gaps are worth closing
  • Agility as a set of practices that help you adapt quickly and execute with focus
  • One or two moves you can make immediately to support team confidence and action

Our clients have already engaged with these practices, so we’re extending this opportunity to our broader network of forward-thinking leaders. In the spirit of our Abundance Minded Core Value, we’re sharing it with those who may benefit from this in-person opportunity.
