What is the Alternative Board


An Alternative Board (TAB) is an organization that provides a structured platform for business owners, CEOs, and leaders to collaborate, share experiences, and solve challenges collectively. As a franchise owner, I facilitate and lead peer advisory boards composed of non-competing business leaders from diverse industries.

Workshop Overview.

This workshop is focused on improving communication in the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT). We utilize two main tools in this workshop, namely the DISC Behavioural Assessments and Safe Communication to enable the SLT to create working relationships that will support open communication, productive collaboration and better results.

The workshop includes training on understanding various elements of the DISC profiling tool.

The primary objective of this workshop is to gain commitment from the SLT to work together as a team on organizational transformation. It will also assist in establishing transparency between the team members.

Goals / Tangible outcomes:

  • DISC reports for all participants. Online assessment (30 minutes) taken at least one week prior to the workshop.
