Convene Team Profile
Ideal Member
Mike is pursuing Christian CEOs and business owners with businesses that: generate revenue in excess of $1M. Why? Because the issues faced by these business leaders are different from those faced by smaller or much larger firms. Mike’s personal commercial success is a direct result of developing and managing businesses fitting this ideal Member profile.
Chair Philosophy
Mike wants to invest in, equip, and encourage business leaders, regardless of location, who: are driven to scale their businesses and their teams, are not satisfied with the status quo, believe in servant leadership, and thrive on executing with excellence. In short, Mike wants change-makers with significant platforms that can be advanced in meaningful ways for both commercial and Kingdom purposes.
Meeting Format
Mike’s Convene team will meet once a month In-person (7:30-4:30) on the first Friday of each month. The agenda will include a devotional, business learning/concept, and three issues/opportunities facing the various Members. In addition, Mike will meet with each Member monthly for a one-hour coaching/advisory session. Finally, Members will commit to meeting in person for at least one group meeting per year (assuming the Members feel comfortable/safe traveling).
