Many businesses found a resourceful group of advisors in their boards as they navigated the crisis over the past couple of years, and their roles are evolving to support the business in an expanded way.

  • Why Growth Comes from Shifting your Perspective

    Forbes

    The “swing at the end of the world” is located in the mountains outside of Baños, Ecuador. How do I know? I’ve been there, but it wasn’t planned. I was on a mission trip in Ecuador when a rockslide closed my group’s main route through the mountains and forced us to take a five-hour detour. I was really frustrated; it was not part of the plan and we had already been traveling for 10 hours. But what happened on that detour turned out to be some of the greatest memories of the entire trip.
