The words “honored” and “grateful” don’t do justice to how I feel about being a part of this community. I have learned so much… None of us will ever leave this space as it continues to be so safe, fun, and valuable.

I’ve struggled with confidence coaching franchisees that have more experience professionally than I do. The roundtables gave me the confidence & tools to engage franchisees and share my knowledge.
