It’s lonely at the top! As the Owner or CEO of a successful home care company, you probably feel pretty good about all that you have accomplished.  Yet there are times when you wish you had someone to talk with who really understands your business, your issues, and your concerns.

Now, that opportunity is available to you through Home Care Mastermind Groups^TM

Home Care Mastermind Groups are groups of owners and CEOs of non-competing home care companies who get together on a regular basis to exchange ideas and information, solve problems, and provide support to one another. 

Purpose:  The purpose of the Private Pay in Home Health Mastermind Group is to provide a venue for non-competing private duty Directors and CEOs with businesses that are affiliated with a home health agency or hospice to come together for a confidential exchange of experiences, issues, problems, and solutions at regular meetings; and to receive the benefit of reliable comparative operating data.  The objective of this group is to help members improve the overall operating performance of their home care companies.

Your Facilitators:  The key to a successful Mastermind Group is having a facilitator who can organize the group, arrange logistics, lead the discussions, document results, and facilitate communication between group members.

Your facilitators for this group are Stephen Tweed, CEO of Leading Home Care ... a Tweed Jeffries company, and Elizabeth Jeffries, CEO of Executive Mastery … a Tweed Jeffries company
