Learn how to get everyone focused on achieving a clear company vision
Begin to instill discipline and accountability throughout the organization
Roll up your sleeves and confront organizational issues head-on
Strengthen your business and produce powerful results

Thank you, Fancy Real Estate, for hosting this workshop!
Speaker Bio:
As a former CEO, Chris Heileman understands the frustrations business leaders face. When he led an organization of 650 team members, he had a vision for the business, but no clear way to communicate that vision to his team.
But when the company began implementing EOS, his entire mindset shifted. He learned that it is possible to align your team with your company goals. It’s possible to delegate more of your role to others. And it’s possible to get everyone going in the right direction.
As a result, it helped them get to the root cause of their frustrations, solve their issues, and revolutionize the way they did business.
Chris’ experience with EOS is more than just theory. He’s lived it. And he was so blown away by the process that he became an EOS Implementer himself. As an Implementer, Chris is fueled by his passion for understanding the nuances of each business he works with. He’s coached organizations large and small–professional services to construction and more–using an approach that comes from experiencing EOS firsthand.
Tired of feeling stuck in the same systems and routines and getting no further than you were before? Talk to Chris. He’s been there, and he can help you revolutionize the way your business operates.
