Three Deadly Distractions and Three Leadership Opportunities Lunch for Emerging Business Leaders
Tammy Y. Allen, The NIIC, Fort Wayne, Ind
Leaders of emerging businesses are invited to an exclusive lunch to learn about overcoming the six unique challenges of emerging businesses on August 24 or September 21, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center (The NIIC). Todd Schrock, CEO Advantage™ Certified Advisor, will host two lunches titled 3 Deadly Distractions and 3 Leadership Opportunities, which were developed for leaders—and those who support them—of businesses with 20 to 100 employees.
“Small businesses comprise nearly 90 percent of all business establishments; however, what about the less than 10 percent who make up the overlooked middle—the emerging businesses employing 20 to 100 employees? The CEO Rhythms Forum serves as a resource for founders of these companies and those who support them,” said Schrock. The lunches will include exploring the steps to take to resolve the six challenges for emerging businesses, identifying resources to help businesses continue and connecting emerging business founders.
These lunches are part of the CEO Rhythms Forum, an evolving peer group for CEOs, presidents and owners of emerging businesses. The forum is facilitated by Schrock and focuses on key topics and tools to make the most difference for these businesses. Registration is required, and there is a cost of $25 to attend.

About The NIIC
The NIIC is a non-profit, community-based entrepreneurial community. We help business builders and entrepreneurs launch and grow successful business ventures. Formed in 1999 by a consortium of community and government leaders and organizations in 2013, The NIIC was recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the top four under-the-radar incubators in the country. This basically means Entrepreneur magazine, with the help of International Business Incubation Association, picked four U.S. incubators to highlight, and we were one of them. In their words, we “stand out in a state not always perceived as small business friendly.” The NIIC is the country’s only ISO9001: 2008 registered business incubation and acceleration program.

About CEO Rhythms Forum
Local CEO Advisor Todd Schrock, emerging and midsize business expert, formed a partnership with Northeast Indiana Innovation Center (The NIIC) to launch the CEO Rhythms Forum in Northeast Indiana in June 2017. CEO Rhythms Forum is built on the key insight that for emerging companies of about 20-100 employees, critical challenges arise from the transition from small business to a midsize organization, rather than from industry, geographic or other factors.
