BIG DREAM GATHERING

Inspire unlimited thinking and connecting!

The BIG Dream Gathering got its start in 2006 when Mitch was about to give up on one of his own big dreams.  Instead of throwing in the towel, he invited some friends to his house to dream together and see if they could help each other out.  He called it a “BIG Dream Gathering.” It was supposed to last for a few hours but it exploded and lasted for a full week! Mitch’s dream got back on track and others got the clarity and help they needed too!  That first BDG launched a revolution of people giving themselves permission to dream big and help each other out. Now, Mitch and his “Dream Team” host BDG’s around the country and interview real people walking out big dreams too.

THE MENTOR MANAGER SERIES

Real World Strategies for Effective Mentorship

The number one reason a Millennial stays with an organization is their direct leader. At the same time, the number one reason a Millennial leaves is also their direct leader. Leadership has always been important, but now it’s crucial. The critical difference in recruitment, engagement and retention is not just in who you hire… but more in who you promote into leadership and how you train those individuals to lead this “Next Generation Workforce.”  The Mentor Manager Series teaches leaders implementable strategies to help them coach their teams at new levels, inspire innovation and excellence as well as increase engagement and loyalty.

NOTE: For maximum results, this program is delivered in an immersive, highly-interactive small group setting.  One-on-one leadership coaching can also be included with this series.
