#BuildingBusinessConnections
Are you a potential Diamond Leader? It is now 18 months since we set up the first gdb Peer- to-Peer group under our Diamond Leaders for Growth programme. Through a challenging period, under the chairmanship of Jeff Downs, this group has been a big success, with the leaders coming together to support each other, work as a team to share, learn, grow, and build their knowledge and skills. So, we are now very pleased to announce the launch of the second Diamond Leaders for Growth group. It will be chaired by gdb member, Steve Jebson of Business Doctors. Steve brings the experience of being a member of the established group as well as years of knowledge in FMCG, Manufacturing, Retailing and more recently with local businesses aiming to scale and grow. Diamond Leaders for Growth is a high-value premium service for selected members. It gives participants targeted opportunity to meet with their peers to share experience, knowledge, and ideas to help grow their businesses with expert facilitation and input from an expert speaker. The groups are open, on a personal basis, to representatives of gdb member businesses who have a leadership role within their organisation, including as owner, director, and senior executive. Each group has no more than 10 members, and the membership is fixed so that each group can develop as a team in a sharing, but challenging, environment characterised by trust and confidentiality. The groups meet bi-monthly and follow a proven formula of inspirational speakers, shared content, alternative perspectives, and discussions on key issues facing group members. If you are interested in joining the new Diamond Leaders for Growth group, please get in touch with Steve Jebson (Steve. Jebson@BusinessDoctors.co.uk . The target launch date for Steve’s group is February/March 2022 and, with a maximum of 10 spaces, places are limited. Diamond Leaders for Growth, along with Diamond Experts and Diamond Mentors, is part of gdb’s member support programme drawing on our business community’s huge and varied experience, and willingness to share. For more information on this wider programme, contact Jeff Alexander (jeff@gatwickdiamondbusiness.com).

The great thing about peer groups is, rather than just getting one consultant, the group gives you access to about 10 experienced business people around the table who can give you inputs without an ‘axe to grind’ or sales pitch but at the same time hold you accountable for your actions.
