Leadership Roundtables

“Besides being in a Leadership Roundtable through Traverse Connect, I am also in a nationwide peer advisory group specific to my industry that I can go to with issues specific to my trade. While my peer group is valuable in its own right, working with my roundtable members that know how business is done in northern Michigan has been invaluable. I feel very fortunate to have this group of mentors and friends and will continue to participate.”

“I’ve been part of a roundtable group, through Traverse Connect, for around ten years.  Our group has largely stayed intact during this time and is much more than a group of fellow business leaders.  We’ve formed deep trusting relationships which allow us to share with candor, learn from each other’s experiences and support each other not only in business, but in life.  Our monthly gathering allows us to dig deep into current business, and sometimes personal, issues which we might be facing.  In between meetings we’re available to each other via phone, email, or in-person as things come up.  The group was incredibly important to me last year at the onset of the pandemic.  During that time we held weekly calls to share how each was being impacted, what we were hearing, seeing, and learning, and helped each other respond to new unprecedented challenges.  This is a group I highly value and hope to never leave.”

“The impact of the leadership roundtables is immediate. The sharing of what our group is working on as individuals in their organizations helps create a sense of a sounding board and tremendous lessons as a leader. Each time we get together and share, I walk away with actionable lessons and ideas for my own development and organizations. The work is profound, inspiring, and impactful.”

“The Leadership Roundtable provides an excellent opportunity to get to know regional leaders from various industries.   The monthly meetings allow those leaders to share and discuss opportunities and challenges many of which are applicable to everyone at the table. “

“The Roundtable has been a rewarding exchange and way to connect with fellow leaders. I’m eager to have face to face engagement which I believe it will enhance the experience even more. “

“I have been a participant in my Roundtable for over 10 years. Not only have I gained tremendous insights from the members of my group, as it relates to business, but I have also created deep relationships with each and every person. I have learned countless things from our group that have helped me grow my business and grow as a person. I look forward to our meetings each and every month.”
