WPO: Ideas. Advice. Mutual Support

A group for local business executives offers ideas, advice, and mutual support.  It's called the Women Presidents' Organization.  Take, for example, Becky Pfundheller who started her own company in 1992. Today, Analytical Food Laboratories has 45 employees at its 25,000-square-foot facility in Grand Prairie, generating $3.8 million in revenue and performing tests as Pfundheller puts it on “anything you eat or ingest or put on your body—food, pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, personal care products."

As she grew the company, Pfundheller was introduced through a friend to the Dallas chapter of the Women Presidents’ Organization, a business peer group for women CEOs, presidents, and managing directors of multimillion-dollar companies.

She joined a 15-member group that, under strict confidentiality, kicks around each other’s most difficult business decisions. They’re questions such as: “What should I do with a key employee who needs to be let go but who knows a lot and will be difficult to replace?” And: “Should I buy out my partner?” And: “Is it time to expand and open new locations?”

Improve Yourself in Business and in Life

Who doesn't want to improve themselves in every area of life?  I constantly wish I would laugh more, take myself less seriously and, here I go again, be far more helpful to others with business growth.  What about you?  If you are in the same league, indulge yourself to a couple of good books to open your mind from authors who cover everything from organizational growth, to how to stand out, to the making of a manager.
