A kernel of wisdom, a piece of practical advice, and support for a business decision recently made – all of this awaits you when you form a Strategic Conversation Group with other business decision-makers.

Encountering similar concerns, successes and challenges, business peers will provide you with feedback, suggestions and information at no cost to you and you’ll do the same for them.

Wayne Messick, a seasoned family business strategist and coach, has volunteered to make his expertise and facilitation skills available 1 hour every week - to describe how peer groups have consistently provided him with business intelligence for the last decade. Staying focused and finding a time to talk are two challenges he and his groups have solved creatively.

Your only commitment is an hour of your time – Thursday morning at 11 AM (EST). The discussions begin this Thursday, October 16, 2003. Don’t miss it!

Says Messick, "Join a weekly teleconference that helps business people harness the power of their friends and associates to make all of them more successful. It empowers and encourages you to develop strategic conversations with your peers."

Let an expert demonstrate how you can effectively use an organized teleconference of your peers for business success by participating in his teleconference.

Some of Messick’s topics include: Why Use A Self-directed Peer Group For Strategic Conversations; Structuring Teleconferencing Sessions; Face To Face vs. Virtual meetings –why and how bridging time and distance through teleconferencing makes sense; and Establishing Trust And Productive Business Relationships.

In an effort to keep the conversation flowing and interaction at a manageable level, Messick is limiting attendance to the first 25 participants for the conference each week.

To join the group, call 1-775-533-8340 and enter the pin number 3664625 and the # sign.

If you call in and hear a busy signal, the room is full and you should try calling back the following week. Don’t be late – the teleconference closes to new participants at 5 minutes past the hour.

A self-directed (just you and your colleagues) peer group, where structured conversations are focused on your business and that of your peers, might make a significant bottom-line impact on your company.

It may increase your company's productivity, bring you new ideas and perspectives from people you trust, reduce the stress of making decisions without objective input and enhance your effectiveness with insights from your friends.
