在军事传统中, 这首歌叫做“欢呼与告别”,” a celebration of those who are joining and those who are moving on from an organization. 室的 超越指导计划 is in the midst of a “Hail and Farewell” of its own.

REACH Beyond grew from the Chamber’s REACH initiative, a three-year-old program designed to help small and emerging businesses land new projects and reach strategic goals. All mentee businesses start REACH Beyond by taking the Gallup Clifton StrengthsFinder, the Gallup BP10 and the Bellewether FLITER assessments. Bellewether created a guide for each mentor/mentee pair to help facilitate their time together, encourage successful outcomes and create mutually-beneficial, long-term partnerships between businesses.
James Friedrichsen of Big Red Renovators hooked in with REACH last year and participated in the REACH 建设 Industry Certificate Course. He’s ready to increase his involvement as a member of REACH Beyond’s second mentoring class.
“I decided to join the REACH program for several different reasons. The main reason was just the opportunity to grow as an individual and as a business as well,他说. “I believe the potential growth that we can eventually get through mentorship will have very positive effects not only to my business but to the community in which we serve.”
告别: As REACH Beyond welcomes its second class of protégés, it also celebrates the graduation of its inaugural group of six mentees. They started their REACH Beyond experience in June of 2017 and spent the last year identifying needs, setting goals and creating action plans with their mentors.

REACH Beyond graduate Cameron Gales, Gala Painting的管理老板, describes the experience as very intense: “You had to be very transparent, and you have to hang your ego at the door when you come in.”
Cameron was paired with Bob Carlisle, founder and president of MCL 建设.
“Bob genuinely wanted to see my business be successful and provide me with any tool,” Cameron says. “He reminded me that, at one point, he was just like me. It’s awesome for someone to say, ‘I was where you are, but look at where we are now.这是很好的指导.”
The REACH Beyond Mentoring Program would not be possible without the willingness of the mentors to invest their time, energy and expertise into top-performing small and emerging construction firms.
“We want to thank the mentors who gave their time in the pilot year of this program. These mentors are leaders in the construction industry here in Omaha. They have said yes to the call of developing the right talent among the smaller businesses in the industry in order to assist in building the capacity of contractors in the Greater Omaha market,温斯利·杜兰德说, REACH执行董事.
In addition to working with their mentors, REACH Beyond protégés are connected with a team of expert volunteers who can provide additional assistance in areas, including accounting and financing, 操作, 策略, 人力资源, 以及法律问题.
“If you are serious about learning, about making an investment in the future success of your business and putting in the necessary leg work to move your business to the next level, the REACH Beyond Mentoring Program is an incredible opportunity for you to be mentored by an industry leader and become a stronger construction firm,杜兰德说.
