Comments from some of the participants in the 1st cohort of Alexandria Amplify:

“It was a great opportunity to be able to step away from daily operations, meet with other business owners and take a holistic 360 strategic look at how to grow my business. This exercise was a benefit to my company, my employees and my customers.”

“As a small business owner we are used to ‘wearing many hats’. Often as we get busier the business development ‘hat’ gets worn less and less. Alexandria Amplify allowed me to dedicate time to really look at my business and start to figure out what is working and what needs work. I really enjoyed seeing and meeting the other small business owners and working with them…made me realize that I am not alone.”

“I really found value overall in this program:
– Time to take a step back and see things big pic
– Networking and empathizing with other small biz owners on common challenges
– Worksheets helped to drill into bigger ideas and discover ideas/strategies that I may
not have thought of.”

“The opportunity to hear from other business owners about their challenges and to find that we all deal with the same issues regardless of the industry was helpful. I don’t feel like I’m just floating out there alone.”

“I think the biggest activity that I benefited from was getting the opportunity to speak to other business owners and brainstorm. I think getting other perspectives especially from those ’in the trenches’ is beneficial.”
