When you are leading a family or private business, the pressures and concerns that you shoulder are heavy, and so much is riding on how well you manage that load. Your work life impacts your home life, and your home life impacts your work life, too. All of it affects your health — your physical well-being, and the health of your company’s bottom line. 

Our Executive Roundtables provide an opportunity for collaborative peer sharing about strategic and tactical business issues, within the larger context of your personal and family concerns. Consider this your very own board of advisors, whose number-one goal is to help you restore balance.

Learn how to make the most of your Goering Center membership and be sure to bring along key employees and/or any family members working in the business. This 90-minute program is more than an orientation to the Center and its core offerings, it is your opportunity to meet other new members, build your network, and become part of our business community.

  • Get to know other business leaders who share your concerns and opportunities
  • Learn about our 10 Best Practices - what they mean and how important they are to the success and sustainability of your company;

  • Explore our Member Alignment Profile (MAP) and how it can align your team around your company's mission, goals and ownership priorities.

In today’s competitive job market, Employer Branding plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining top talent. It's how your company is perceived as a place to work, distinct from its consumer-facing brand reputation. A strong employer brand reflects the company’s culture, values, vision, and mission, making it an essential strategy for HR leaders.

This event is designed for Business Owners, HR Leaders, Hiring Managers, and Marketing Teams who are looking to sharpen their employer branding strategies. Industry experts and HR leaders will share how to craft a clear, compelling employer brand. You’ll also discover ways to clearly define your message and effectively communicate it to both candidates and employees.

The Next Generation Institute (NGI)® is for owners and leaders of family businesses, their successors, and other family members who may or may not work in or have ownership interest in the business. The program shines a light on the issues that most do not anticipate in a caring, supportive environment, while equipping the family to take action when they decide the time is right.

 The Overview is an opportunity for leaders and future leaders to explore the Leadership Development InstituteTM and determine if the program is right for them and their team members.

When leaders perform at their highest levels, organizations make giant strides forward. Whether you currently lead a business, a team, or aspire to lead both, the Leadership Development Institute™ will help you maximize your effectiveness. Guided by an expert facilitator, you will focus your learning on multiple leadership disciplines: understanding self, working with others, building teams, and problem solving.

Sessions are challenging, clear, interactive and practical, leaving you energized and inspired to inspire others. If you are ready to create an organization where people want to do their best, then you are ready for the Leadership Development Institute™.

In this program, new and emerging leaders become empowered to understand their company's financial data, giving them the confidence to engage in the conversation and make better business decisions.
