EMA Cohort for Visionary Leaders

This 6-month course begins with a preliminary workbook to examine and determine the goals you have for your small business or entrepreneurial start-up.

You will schedule a 1 hr clarity and purpose meeting with Devora, CEO of Up In The Chair, to review your goals prior to the 1st group session.

All participating Visionary Leaders will then gather as a cohort for a 3-session intensive to build your entire internship program.

There will be a weekly cohort meeting for the duration of the program.

Spend my time doing what I love to do

I was able to spend my time doing what I love to do and in my area of expertise and turn over all the other "stuff" to an intern who loved what they got to work on.

Creative people

Devora is one of the most creative people I've gotten to meet. She's taken an idea others may have floating around and made it a concrete business.
