🕒 Time: 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Location: The Old Glass Place

🔹 An Exclusive Experience for the Collective

This isn't your typical networking mixer. It's a rare, private gathering of high-performing leaders coming together for candid conversation, shared wisdom, and personal growth.

Led by legendary NFL coach Dick Vermeil, JMARK CEO Tom Douglas, and performance coach Phil Towle, this roundtable experience is designed to challenge your thinking, uncover your next-level potential, and fuel bold moves for 2025.

Dinner is provided—we’ll handle the food so you can focus on the transformation.

🧠 Why This Roundtable Matters

We’re facing a business landscape full of uncertainty and opportunity. This session is your space to pause, reflect, and reset—surrounded by other leaders who get it.

Expect a tone that’s:

• Authentic – No masks, no fluff. Just real talk.
• Relational – Built on trust, empathy, and shared experience.
• Transformational – Rooted in insight, vulnerability, and breakthrough thinking.

🎤 Opening Themes from Dick Vermeil

Coach Vermeil will kick us off with three powerful reflections shaped by decades of elite team-building:

• Discovering Hidden Talent – Seeing what others miss
• The Foundation of Great Teams – Why culture wins
• Resilience & Realness – The unseen work behind success

This is a chance to ask the questions that matter most—professionally or personally. Submit them in advance or ask live in the room. Either way, you'll walk away challenged, inspired, and equipped.

🔒 Exclusively for the Collective

This event is invitation-only and intentionally small. It’s not about titles or egos—it’s about leaders who are serious about showing up for themselves, their teams, and their future.

Dinner included. Presence required. Transformation expected.
