Introducing Champion Roundtable

Being the Expert in Every Department is Exhausting.

Career Success and Work-Life Balance Begins Here

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Constantly putting out fires?

    Do you have crisis management protocols, an effective onboarding process, and leaders in place to run things smoothly without you being there 24/7?

  • Sacrificing family for work?

    Do you find yourself working on days off, missing milestones, or feeling like your business runs you instead of the other way around?

  • Struggling with time management?

    Does your calendar feel like it’s running five different people's schedules? Are you late to meetings, skipping lunch, or overwhelmed by the day-to-day grind?

Work Should Enhance Your Life, Not Consume It.

TESTIMONIALS

Amanda R - First Time Manager

Social Work Entity


I learned how to apply all of this to this part of my world which I just haven't done before. It's just a feeling I got out of it. I guess. Maybe I just didn't understand my worth as a supervisor, like realizing that people do look to me for leadership and guidance. I just don't think that I had put myself there until this. So I have really taken a lot out of it. I could relate to so much and not even just at work, but like a home life. This kind of relates to all sorts of areas of life. Thank you!.

Sean Q - Company Owner

Car Wash


I didn’t expect the class to be so polished. I will never make that mistake again. Also never expected it to work on cognitive reconditioning. Pretty unique stuff from the various platforms I’ve tried and am trying. I would have committed more students from the get go if I had had any idea

Khira M - Program Director for Non-Profit Organization


Before, I just kind of felt like sometimes I didn’t feel like a manager and then people would make comments to me like you're the big boss or something like that and it was strange. My biggest takeaway is the confidence building that I am doing the right things, and that I have areas to grow in and continue to move in. And this has given me guidance which directs the way a little more. And I also got more confidence, and shaking that imposter feeling and stuff like that. It’s been a metamorphosis for me.
