Bryan Fisher

I am a financial analyst trying to transition into life coaching. I am part of Toastmasters, which has helped me to practice leadership and communication. However, when I attended a BACN conference, I immediately went to the next level because I was exposed to experienced consultants with high-level content from world-class speakers. It didn’t hurt that they actually served my favorite breakfast food…bacon! After my first meeting, now I’m a member for life. I wanted to earn more money, and now I’m bringing home the BACN!

The Mindset of BACN

Ulrika Brattemark

I really appreciate the mindset of BACN. It is one of openness, inclusiveness and being of service to each other. At the events we are provided with tons of useful information and a structure to connect. It gives the opportunity to broaden both our network and our horizon.

A Unique Gathering

David Gustafson

Some attempts were made to describe what makes BACN such a unique gathering. I can think of at least three:

  1. A consortium of other consultant peers in a non-competitive environment
  2. A wholesome willingness to share information with others
  3. Amazing, non-traditional programs that address both the intellect and the emotions

To rephrase:

  1. Safety and peer-to-peer relationships
  2. Generosity of spirit
  3. Touching our hearts as well as our heads

Success-oriented Group

Don McCrea

I had originally said I appreciated BACN because of the sense of groundedness in the group. I just realized that this groundedness results from the collective success orientation both collectively and individually.

This was my first BACN meeting and I loved it. I’m just starting out in the consulting world following 3 decades as a teacher, senior executive, and CEO. I consider engaging with other consultants now to be really beneficial. I don’t know what I don’t know about how to run my business. I appreciate that there’s a process used at this meeting and look forward to attending again.

Outstanding Speaker at BACN Today!

Congrats on a great meeting this morning.

Lee Caraher provided both an amazing source of inspiration and clear, actionable recommendations.  These two qualities –action and inspiration — aren’t often found together.

A home run!
