Program Details
BizPsych Inner Circle
This program is exclusively for lower middle market business owners, executives, board members, and trusted advisors who serve the lower middle market.
Each 6-month cohort is limited to 8 participants.
Your cohort will meet monthly for 2 hours, during which you and your fellow members will be mentored by Dr. Gruder on that month's topic.

What is the Lower Middle Market?
Businesses generating an annual revenue in the range of $5 million to $50 million are considered to be in the lower middle market segment of the economy.
How Does Each Session Work?
Your 6 monthly 2-hour WarmSeat sessions will be held the third Wednesday of each month.
You will attend an initial 1-hour Container-Building session to meet your cohort members and create a cone of silence. This will occur one hour before the first cohort session.
Prior to the monthly meeting, you will view a video on that month's topic, whenever it's convenient for you.
Based on what comes up for you while you watch the video, you'll select what you want to WarmSeat on when your cohort meets.
How each WarmSeat session is structured:
- Each member will have a 20 minute WarmSeat with Dr. Gruder on that month's topic, followed by a debriefing on the benefits the other members borrowed from that WarmSeat.
- Cohort members will post their ideas and resource recommendations for each WarmSeat in your cohort's private forum.
- Your cohort's private forum will be a place for everyone to dialogue with and support each other between monthly sessions.
