Who is SLC for?
SLC is designed for C-suite and senior leaders at women- and minority-led organizations with $1M to
$10M in annual revenue. Leaders who manage complex decisions, build teams, and are ready for a high-
caliber room built specifically for them.

How is SLC different from our competitors?
Other peer advisory groups require $5M, or even $15M in annual revenue to join. Others serve
entrepreneurs but skew toward startups and have no specific focus on women and minority-led
businesses. Some focus on corporate executives. None of them combine invitation-only access, closed-
door confidentiality, cross-sector dialogue, and the Collaborative Intelligence Protocol — specifically for
women- and minority-led business executives. SLC does.

Is this a diversity initiative?
No. SLC is a high-caliber decision room for leaders who are ready to solve real business problems. We
focus on women and minority-led organizations because they have been systematically excluded from
the premium peer advisory infrastructure that exists. Members find it a safe space to discuss the unique
challenges that come with leading as a woman or minority-owned business. But the primary purpose is decision quality, not diversity programming.

What happens in a session?
Every session runs on the Collaborative Intelligence Protocol — a structured three-block sequence. We
begin each session by allowing leaders to connect and share their challenges, wins, and connections. Then we run through our proprietary protocol that illuminates the most pressing challenges of the day
for our leaders. We end by facilitating problem solving sessions where leaders can ID meaningful, relevant, and high value actions and next steps..
