A NOTE FROM PRESIDENTHENRY RISCHITELLIDear Members, The Board is thrilled to launch the new EO fiscal year by announcing our 2016/17 theme: “LIMITLESS.” As entrepreneurs, we know no limits in our jobs and our personal lives. We strive every day to stand out from the crowd and never take no for an answer. I have applied this same philosophy to my presidency of the EO Atlanta Chapter. I, along with the EO Atlanta Board, have worked diligently to put together a calendar of events that delivers on quality, growth and remarkable, unforgettable experiences. As you can see from the first 6 months highlighted in the following pages, we have put together a comprehensive event schedule focusing on improving you as an Entrepreneur and business leader within your organization. With amazing speakers, experiences and networking events planned, we have provided limitless opportunities for personal growth. As your leader of the Atlanta chapter, I have an unwavering focus on the quality of your experience in EO. Whether you are new to EO or continuing your journey, I believe this will be one of the best years in the history of the EO Atlanta Chapter. I look forward to seeing you at these events. Sincerely,

Henry Rischitelli

OUR STORIES

ONE THING THAT CONTINUALLY AMAZES MEabout EO, is the positive effect it has on perspective and the importance of asking better questions. Whether I am attending a world class learning event, having a chat with a member, or engaged in forum, obstacles diminish and the impossible becomes possible. Learning about an experience of how another member achieved something truly spectacular has forced me to continually challenge my beliefs, create a better vision for the future, and ask what I can and must do to make it happen.

– ALAN BRAY

“

EO HAS ALLOWED ME TO CONNECTwith other entrepreneurs locally and beyond. My forum (Epic) in EO has been there for me through selling a business and starting a new venture. EO has helped me grow personally and professionally as an entrepreneur.

BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR IS LONELY and it comes with a unique set of stresses, pressures and demands. Only other entrepreneurs understand those pressures. We all face challenges as entrepreneurs and thanks to EO, I’ve found a home where I can share my experiences and learn from others on how to not only grow as a business but as an entrepreneur.

EO OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITYto surround yourself with driven, like-minded and vetted individuals. EO encourages tremendous personal and professional growth in an environment that’s safe and supportive.

MAGNETIC: BE A ROCKSTAR PRESENTERJULY 20, 2016A two-hour interactive session that will introduce you to a framework for developing more powerful content for any communication situation. This process is designed specifically to help you achieve three critical keys to communication content success: staying results-oriented in both the planning and delivery of your content, communicating from your listener’s point of view – without loosing your own, and rolling out your content in a way that drives minute-to-minute engagement – including visuals that support rather than control your communication.

Location: Speakeasy Speaker: Doug Foltz Time: 4:00-6:00 p.m. Attendee Type: Members & invited alumniEvent Type: Learning Deliverable: Elite presentation skills

CONNECTED: SUMMER SOCIAL AT PIRCHJULY 27, 2016From the beginning, PIRCH has operated with a defiant attitude and audacious objective: To focus on people and life’s precious few moments, rather than stainless steel and porcelain. Our homes serve as the backdrop that connects us to family, kindles our friendships, and creates permanence within our community. This is a truth universally acknowledged. As for PIRCH, we are neither retail zealots nor big company movers. Like you, we are fathers, mothers, friends, wives, brothers, builders, cyclists, wannabe chefs, animal lovers, creators, travelers and at least one cheese head. Come explore how Pirch is changing an industry and socialize with fellow EO’ers.

This seminar answers these and more common parent questions:
