The TAB environment allows me to see many new potential opportunities to grow my business to a new level. Sharing ideas with owners from varied industries has given me a totally new perspective for my business, and you can’t put a dollar figure on that. - Giacomo Giuliano, President, PPM Fragrances Int’l, Vaughan, Ontario
The Alternative Board has given me a great opportunity to voice the concerns of my business in a confidential environment and receive constructive feedback that has helped me in many facets of my business. The part that was the greatest surprise to me is the benefit I get by just listening to the issues/concerns that the other board members have. It has resulted in changes I made to my business that otherwise would have never happened. - Ezio Traunero, President, Proficom Financial, Concord, Ontario
It can be a lonely experience running a business. Becoming a TAB member opened up a wide gamut of resources with practical advice and suggestions, as well as the ability to help and share experiences with other businesses and get the feedback of that input. The coaching sessions help get a sense of focus and are very objective, rather than subjective and allow you, with the help of other board members see your business issues from a clearer perspective. - David Haslam, President, Keating Toronto, Mississauga, Ontario
For the last several months I have been involved with The Alternative Board and have found the experience to be extremely beneficial to my business. The straight forward, unbiased viewpoint that you get, garnered from years of experience has allowed me to see my business from other viewpoints, especially in terms of operations and marketing. The one on one coaching sessions have been very helpful. In addition, The Alternative Board has been a positive experience as well. The members are from very diverse backgrounds, but quite often the discussion of one members’ problems results in a solution for someone else. The monthly fees have definitely been money well spent. - Dean Schofield, President, Landmark Landscaping, Mississauga, Ontario
