YPOPA Membership Inquiry

My experience in Forum is the cornerstone of the greatest achievements of my personal and professional life.  Put simply, when I am surrounded by great hearts and minds in a secure, confidential and non-judgmental structure, my self-confidence is bolstered, my worst problems become navigable, and the number of opportunities for my life’s success multiply.  Furthermore, I have learned to be a better listener, better coach, and a better contributor to the success of those around me.  In short, Forum rocks!

The YPO/WPO networks provide me with great value as part of my WPO experience. I belong to several networks, including  “Fine Dining”, “Doing Business in China” and “Family Business”. These networks have allowed me, through special educational webinars and member discussion boards to both connect with other members and increase my education in these areas. There are networks for every interest, both business and personal. I can easily justify my membership in WPO through these networks alone.

Joining YPO has been the single best decision I’ve made for my personal and professional growth. Thanks to YPO, I’ve become a better leader and a better person, and I’ve met a whole group of people who have helped me along my life’s journey. What can be better than that?

I have made many requests through M2Mx – an amazing YPO resource that we have access to.  We have also responded just as many times to M2Mx requests from others.  Many times, it is our first line of research – and relief!  It was through M2Mx that Barry & I navigated his healing journey from prostate cancer.  Making connections to the best doctors and talking to others in similar situations helped not only to direct us but to ease our minds during such a highly charged, emotional time.

M2Mx has been an outstanding benefit of my membership, and I’ve used it several times.  On one occasion, dozens of members gave me invaluable feedback in seeking the best treatment centers for my father’s prostate cancer.  On another, I got five referrals for a good collection attorney in Cincinnati when a client was looking like he was not going to pay an invoice (I even had one member offer to go collect the check personally!).  Another request got me recommendations on wine cellar solutions.  M2Mx is a tremendous resource for me in my personal and professional tool kit and a significantly undervalued part of the membership, in my opinion.
