The Hub: Breakfast Dialogue for Vancouver's Business Leaders - Vancouver, BC
Business owners in Vancouver meet over breakfast to discuss business issues and network.
Please note the NEW LOCATION, which Diane has graciously scouted out for us. Note the NEW TIME. The Wallflower opens at 9:00am and so we are changing the meeting time just this once. Lisa, the owner, indicated that she would likely open early for us in future if we decide we’d like to meet there regularly.
Suggested Discussion Topic: Ideas that Stick (inspired by Dan & Chip Heath’s book)
Date: Friday, August 20, 2010
Time: 9:00am
Place: The Wallflower Modern Diner, 2420 Main Street, Vancouver

Parking: Lisa (owner) says there is lots of free parking in the area if you know where to look! The best/easiest is in the outer reaches of Kingsgate Mall, which is a block away. Otherwise, if you go one block off Main there is free street parking. She parks in the vicinity every day without ever having had a ticket or a tow, so it can be done!
The Hub and High Voltage Breakfast meetings are the place to engage in stimulating dialogue with other business owners who are well past the start-up stage, are growing, and who value the opportunity to discuss higher level business topics with other business owners who are committed to creating business results. The benefits are the new ideas and food-for-thought generated around the table. These breakfasts are a terrific opportunity to develop richer business relationships.
Business Resiliency™ Workshops
What are the strategies successful businesses employ to promote resiliency? The Surge Group believes that the foundation and driving force for business resiliency in both good and tough times are authenticity, engaging vision, and robust management processes for action.
Each of the three half-day workshops in the Business Resiliency series focuses on a specific functional area:
1. Marketing
2. Operational and Financial
3. Leadership and Organizational Culture
We help you assess the resiliency of your own business using our Business Resiliency Assessment tool and facilitate an exploration of best practices. You gain strategies you can implement immediately, as well as long term solutions to sustain your business. Each of the workshops offers round table discussions and the opportunity to obtain insights from other business owners.
In each workshop you will:
- Gain insight into the drivers of business resiliency for thriving in tough times
- Identify opportunities to increase the resiliency of your business
- Create an action plan for developing and implementing your business resiliency opportunities
- Meet a network of like-minded business owners
Sign up for one or sign up for all three workshops in the series. It’s your choice.
Marketing Resiliency
Operational and Financial Resiliency
Leadership and Organizational Culture Resiliency
These workshops are run once per year. Contact us to get on the list for the next series.
