Jeff Borgida Seattle/Bellevue Group Member
General Manager of Republic Services, Inc.,

“The best part about Excell is that I leave my business for a day and focus on developing me as a leader. If you can make the commitment and step away, it will more than pay for itself in the long run. Excell is about making you a better person, a better leader and a better participant in society.”

Mike Hall Kitsap Group Member
CEO, Hall and Company,

“The workshops hit a variety of topics, it gives you a chance to rethink multiple areas of your business to make sure it’s up to speed with where you need to be. Excell and I both agree that you need a business plan and you need to monitor and measure to make it effective.”

“In the business world, you get caught up in the operation day to day and do planning once a year. In Excell we come back every quarter (to work your plan), you are able to share with the group, get feedback from people in across many different industries with different perspectives. Then go back into your company and people see you being much more accountable to your own plans and that is just gigantic value. It’s much easier for people to follow when they are getting regular feedback.”
