FAQs

How do you justify the time commitment?

Your time in the Forum is an investment in self-improvement, and in leading an integrated life and being able to bring your whole self to successfully living the vocation of the business leader.


What's the return on my investment?
The Forums are small peer groups in the larger IntegratedLife.Network community. Being a Forum member requires control over a budget since most consider it a business expense. While the monthly member dues are at the low end of what executives pay for other types of peer groups, it is still a material amount. The community has room for everyone and if you decide the Forums are not for you, we would still like you to be part of the larger community.

The value of the training for you and your family is $3,000/person.

Specific group coaching expertise, if you can find it, is $500/person/month.

The value of the speaker series dinners, backyard socials, the Rise to Greatness! 1/2 day conference, and Bring Out the Greatness! Gala is an average of $100/person/event.

There is value in our unique, singular model that focuses on spiritual growth & friendships, and accountability for achieving greatness that's measured by the amount of beauty we create as a result of our day to day decisions

Lastly, there is value in how our integrated team supports the Forums with our unified platform. Continuous R&D Training (content creation), Measurement (both practical & formative + accountability), Community Growth (Community-Building Events & Truth Seekers online support along with promotion of the forums via email & social media).

What are the participation options?
