Intentional Business Integrity Christian Roundtable Program

"Living Our Lives and Leading Our Businesses God's Way"

Note: An e-mail copy of the Participant Manual for this Roundtable Program is FREE for the asking, if you want to initiate your own self-facilitated Roundtable group.  Dr. Mac is available to facilitate a limited number of these groups for fee.  He is also available for fee to coach and provide support to self-facilitated groups through his International Distance Call-A-Coach Service. 

Do you believe it is important to invest time and money in your own development as a Christ-centered business owner and leader?  Do you desire to make deeper and deeper "footprints" as a representative of Christ (you in Him and Him in you) as you walk the paths of life at home, in your company and in your marketplace and community? Would you value insightful help a personal and business coach as well as from eleven other Christian business owners in resolving "sticky" business issues God's way? Would resolving those issues more quickly, easily and permanently save you time and money and reduce your stress? Do you wish you had ample physical, emotional and time reserves to enjoy running your business instead of having it run you?

The Intentional Business Integrity monthly Roundtable Retreat is much more than a TEC type group focused mainly on profitability and resolving "sticky" strategic and tactical business issues. It is this and more.  It is specifically designed for Christian men and women who want to follow Jesus and grow their businesses successfully by God’s standards. It is for company owners who want to grow in their abilities to lead and manage more effectively and easily God's way.  

We focus on the fact that God's ways lead to truly profitable lives and businesses. Helping you achieve your personal, spiritual, and business development goals, while at the same time helping you achieve a more balanced and beneficial life, is what we are about. 

In addition to fine tuning your vital strategic and tactical business goals, you are encouraged to establish and work toward achieving goals you determine are important in the areas addressed in our Intentional Life Integrity Wheel Assessment": Spiritual Development, Finance, Physical Fitness, Social Relations, Marriage and Family, Emotional Strength, Church and Community Service, and Leisure and Recreation.

Our Intentional Business Integrity monthly Roundtable Retreats are made up of intimate, member-focused groups comprised of twelve Christian business owners and professional practice owners who's offices are within 30 minutes of one another.  In short, those who personally run their businesses and who would benefit from the knowledge and expertise of other owners and professionals who are like-minded spiritually. 

Do you desire to invest a little time and money in being part of a “personal board of Christian advisors"?  Are you seeking a relationship with other Christian business owners who are committed to serving one another as wise counselors, perceptive “sounding boards” and stellar problem solvers? If so, joining an Intentional Business Integrity monthly Roundtable is for you!.  

The major program components which provide support to members of an Intentional Business Integrity Roundtable are... 

• Share  their “sticky” business challenges and issues.

• Help one another using a proven PAL Problem Resolution Process.

Call-A-Coach Sessions - For one half-hour monthly, each IBI Roundtable member is personally coached toward the quickest, easiest and thorough achievement of their vital goals. They are also helped to address business and personal development issues. Plus, members receive unlimited coaching support via e-mail!

Scriptural Impact - Personal Bible Application Study -   We use a short,  independent Bible study outline developed by Jim Kennedy. You may use it to prepare a short Bible application study to occasionally share with your fellow members at the monthly  Roundtable meetings. It is to be focused on Scripture that has had a strong impact on you  in "Living Your Life and Leading Your Business God's Way". 

Quarterly Skill-building Workshops - Each IBI Roundtable group selects and elects to schedule a half-day workshop topic each quarter as half of their scheduled IBI Roundtable Retreat agenda.   

Dr. Mac's PAL Advisory Tips - All members receive Dr. Mac's PAL Advisory Tips monthly by e-mail.  These tips bring you current "how to" ideas to make leading, managing, and the running of your company more successful, easier, and fun! 

The Need

Research shows that leaders perceive their performance and personal traits with only fifty percent accurately. This is because to varying degrees they operate in a vacuum and have "blind spots".  They too often get minimum feedback and have minimal outlets to hammer out and resolve "sticky" personal and business issues. 

As a Christian business owner who is working faithfully to bring glory to God through your business, the challenges are even greater and so are the rewards. The impact this isolation has on your business is simple: The potential growth rate is stifled immensely and you suffer personally from unnecessary “blind spots” and regretful words, actions and decisions.  

To be the best steward possible of the business God has given you, and to more consistently place "footprints" of Christ in your marketplace, you need all the help and support you can get.  Belonging to an “Iron sharpening iron” IBI Roundtable group will help you... 

• Be a great steward and "keeper of the keys" of the business God's given you.

• Avoid the debilitating and blinding pride and other blocks to right thinking and action.

• Gain a broader perspective on important issues.

• Reach better decisions.

• See more clearly the “forest and the trees”.
