In practice
What it looks like in practice.
BusinessGPS is a structured weekly meeting designed to build authentic relationships and create intentional growth, leading to immeasurable results — both personally and professionally.
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
The meeting · before it starts
Show up early.
Doors open a half hour before. Coffee, conversation, no agenda. It is never required, and it is always worth it.
The meeting
Five blocks, in this order.
Leadership opens the room by name and role. Everyone knows who is here and why before anything else begins.
Guests say hello in fifteen seconds. Members answer one shared prompt, thirty seconds each, standing. The same prompt for everyone, so the room hears one conversation instead of thirty commercials.
The working heart of the meeting: a teachable point, breakouts, or a member spotlight. This is the block the rest of the room is built to protect.
What's leaving the room with you, often carried by someone else. You don't report your own insight. Someone else carries it for you. We call it Speaking for One Another.
Five minutes, then the hard stop. The meeting ends when it says it will end, every week, without exception.
70 minutes. Then the room ends.
If you’re visiting.
- Nothing is asked of a guest.
