“Building a Longer Table”
A 6-month Business Support Series
This series provides 6 months of step-by-step support with attorney and psychotherapist, DC Hamilton, for starting and growing a full and thriving practice in therapy or coaching that can provide a satisfying life with enough to give back.
The series also includes 1:1 business coaching as well as small group support with socially minded colleagues seeking to build up their profits, each other, and their communities. All support services include the following:
Access to 6 Monthly Business Support Groups (2 hours each)
Monthly Drop-in Groups for Q&A, Networking, and Long-Term Community Building (60min)
Monthly 1:1 Business Coaching with our Director (60min)
Unique to this group is an emphasis on socially conscious leadership based on the proverb, “If you have more food than you can eat, build a longer table.”
And while strategic business principles are taught for achieving “profit overflow,” the goal is not maximizing personal gain. Instead, a major focus of the series is finding a unique and strategic “win-win” plan for each business owner to build their community in a way that increases profits, well being, family connections, and life satisfaction at the same time.
The next two series begin June 7, 2025 and January 2026. Legal information is provided, but not legal advice.
