Guided by Dodie, a Circle of Trust meets monthly to provide an affordable forum for stepping out of your business, so you can focus on your business. The Circle is for small business owners, CEO's of small corporations, principals in a partnership, and executive directors of not-for-profit organizations.

New Circles are always forming. Click here for more information.

Dodie can also form a Circle around a trade organization, business community, or other special interest group.

If you need help outside the Circle, contact Dodie. See Hourly Consulting for one-on-one billing practices.

"I really enjoyed our meeting last week. I felt very buoyed and am really looking forward to continuing to work with you. Your positive energy, enthusiasm and can-do attitude are definitely contagious!"

"For someone like me who works alone, the benefit of being in the Circle of Trust is interacting with other small business owners that have similar challenges. We learn from each other as Dodie provides insight and guidance that will help us grow, become more efficient and create a lifestyle we can enjoy."

"As the consummate procrastinator, you keep me focused on the task at hand with gentle nudging, prodding, encouragement, valuable knowledge and business acumen. It doesn't hurt being a good friend and lunch mate!"

"Although I'm relatively new to the Circle of Trust, I've come to value the interaction and inspiration I take with me after each meeting. Entrepreneurs need opportunities to connect with others, to share insights and challenges, to learn from each other; the Circle provides this and more. As moderator, Dodie offers invaluable counsel and keeps us on track with enthusiasm and humor. The Circle is a wise investment for me AND for my business."

"I can't even tell you how much this group has helped already. I don't feel like I am out of the woods yet (sill maybe even buried in a huge pile of leaves!), but were it not for our 2 sessions so far and the resulting homework, I wouldn't have thought about any of this stuff save for anxious moments as I fall asleep each night!"
