Great leaders know that in order to keep growing, they need fresh insights, support, and trusted advice. This peer group has it all. As the group leader, George draws from lessons he’s learned throughout his own professional journey, which has given him the experience needed to help business owners create the entrepreneurial lives they’ve always wanted.
Presentations
Members bring their challenges and opportunities — both business and personal — to the group in monthly meetings. Applying a structured methodology, the group gets to the heart of the issue, and gives their input and guidance.
Learnings
The group chooses topics it wants to learn more about, and the content is delivered by outside subject matter experts, the group leader, or individual members.
Accountability
Members set goals, and share progress at meetings. They also meet regularly between meetings with an accountability partner to stay focused and connected.
1-1 mentoring
During onboarding, members meet monthly with Aaron to get clear on their goals and explore opportunities for their personal growth as leaders. After this period, they may opt to continue these 1-1 sessions on a monthly or quarterly basis.
George Noroian
George grew up in a small family business, learning from an early age that there are both good and bad ways to be an entrepreneur. He had a diverse professional journey himself. From serving in the diplomatic corps, to getting his MBA from Stanford, and running two multi-million dollar companies. As an entrepreneur, consultant, and facilitator with more than 30 years of business and leadership experience, he’s discovered that empathy, clarity, humility, accountability, and curiosity are crucial values for any leader. Since founding Giant Leap in 2003, he’s supported hundreds of leaders through assessments, workshops, peer mentoring, and consulting.

How it works
How often do we meet?
Once a month for a full day, usually between 8 am and 4 pm. The group generally meets on the same day of the same week each month.
Where do we meet?
Each group member hosts one meeting per year at their office, home, or other meeting room. Hosts provide light food and refreshments.
What's on the agenda?
At every meeting, members provide updates, and present timely issues or opportunities. There’s also facilitated learning experiences and time to connect personally.
Is there any homework?
Members share brief written updates before each meeting, and occasionally need to prepare for a presentation, or read an article or a chapter from a book in advance.
Fees
Peer group fees are $1,000 per month, plus a one-time $2,200 onboarding fee, which includes orientation meetings, 1-1 mentoring sessions for the first quarter, and a 360-degree assessment. 1-1 mentoring is optional after the first quarter.
