Speaking Engagements
The Counselors of the Founders Group speak locally and nationally to educate Business Owners and the Advisors they work with to help the Business Owner to realize when the business reaches the owner’s targeted attractiveness, readiness, and value. We can facilitate The Decision – whether to continue to keep and grow the business or transition it.
