Typical Agenda: A Day in the Life of a Presidents' Counsel Meeting
Each Counsel determines their own agenda based on their own needs. There is no cookie cutter approach that works. Some Counsels are more mature, and need more sophisticated material and agendas, while others may need some basic skill building.
Normally there are from 3 to 5 segments to each Counsel meeting.
Breakfast & Segment 1:
We always start with a great breakfast and warm up. This is not unimportant. Yes we are meeting a basic need to eat but this is a work breakfast where we do basic check-ins of notable events that have taken place with each member during the last month. This moves easily into the first segment "From the street" normally a 30 minute segment.
Segment 2 (or 2 & 3): Indicators
This has to do with specific business skills & tools, totaling 75 minutes. This may include:
•"Meaningful Indicators" How to produce and use them.
•"Controls" how to install them
•"Proper Bidding/Pricing" How it's done
•"Break Even" it's importance and use
•"Profits" the first item of expense. How to control profits.
Segment 3: Counsel in Action Segment
This is not a typical discussion about what members think, or feel about matters. These segments are designed to provide best practices of successful solutions and pitfalls to avoid. Experience is the best teacher. Since trial and error can be very expensive, the group relies on the past experience of others. They made the mistake and paid the price, you get the benefit.
The Counsel completes with a take away section and goal accountability. The intent is for all members to leave with action items. It's not enough to learn alot, if we don't put it in practice. What will be done when each member's feet hit the pavement the next business day and how will each one be held accountable to ensure each Counsel member excels?
The Counsels develop a close relationship where members are willing to confront. The proverb rightly states "faithful are the wounds of a friend". The truth is given in love. This section alone is worth the price of admission. It doesn't matter how much we know but how much of what we know is put into practice.
Knowledge is not power, knowledge applied is power.
The outcome is a balanced, focused approach to business, and life that works. At the end you will feel the difference. This is the problem with most seminars. Much of the knowledge acquired never gets implemented.
