    The Power of the Room: Better Business Decisions Through Collective Wisdom

    Discover how real business challenges, collective wisdom, and expert facilitation can spark fresh perspectives and stronger decisions. You’ve built your business on your own experience, instincts, and decisions. But what about the insights you haven’t encountered yet? The lessons another entrepreneur has already learned? The opportunities you might recognize if you could see your business through someone else’s eyes? Some of the most valuable business insights come from experiences that aren’t our own. Imagine tapping into the collective wisdom of entrepreneurs who have navigated challenges, made difficult decisions, and discovered lessons that could change how you approach your own business. As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 , join entrepreneur and business advisor Tamara Carlen for an engaging, interactive experience that brings the power of collective wisdom to life. You’ll experience a live, expertly facilitated peer advisory session where entrepreneurs bring real business experiences and challenges into a structured process designed to uncover insights, explore different perspectives, and create meaningful learning. The real value comes when collective wisdom is unlocked through skilled facilitation, thoughtful questions, and a purposeful process. Fresh perspectives that help you see your business differently. Discover how fellow entrepreneurs’ experiences, challenges, and lessons can reveal opportunities, challenge assumptions, and offer new ways to approach decisions in your own business. Real-world wisdom you can put to work. Learn from entrepreneurs who have navigated tough decisions, unexpected obstacles, and growth opportunities. See how expert facilitation turns those individual experiences into practical insights that benefit everyone in the room.

This isn’t just about deciding how many homes you want to sell next year. We’re going to work backward from your goals and break down exactly what it could take to get there. If your goal is a certain number of transactions or amount of GCI, how many appointments do you need? How many leads? How many real estate conversations need to happen each week? And most importantly— what strategies and daily activities are going to create those opportunities? Goal Setting & Business Planning Turn your annual production and income goals into measurable monthly, weekly, and daily targets. Know Your Numbers Break your transaction goals down into appointments, leads, conversations, follow-ups, and activities so you know what needs to happen before the closing ever happens. Real Estate Production Reports Learn how to review your actual production, identify patterns in your business, and use those numbers to make smarter decisions about where to focus your time. Lead Generation Strategies & Tactics We’ll dig into practical ways to create more conversations, appointments, and opportunities—and help you determine which strategies make the most sense for the business you want to build.
