Chapter Leaders

Q: What happens at ENRG Chapter Meetings?

ENRG Chapters meet monthly, same time and same place.We run on EOS® (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), and our meetings are modeled after a format called L10™, short for Level 10 Meeting®. The name says it all: we’re aiming for a 90-minute meeting that’s so productive, focused, and valuable, everyone in the room rates it a 10 out of 10.Here’s how we structure that 90 minutes: Before the meeting: Arrive early to connect with people and check in before the meeting gets started. Check-in: Meeting begins, intros and ice breaker. Content: A 20-minute teaching segment on a relevant tool, framework, or topic, facilitated by a chapter leader or an ENRG Expert Partner. IDS® (Identify, Discuss, Solve): IDS is a simple, structured approach to solving business problems as part of the EOS® system. It’s the core of ENRG chapter meetings – members can raise any issue they’re facing, and the group will work together to identify the root cause, share experiences, and uncover real solutions. Conclusion: We close by asking members to rate the meeting on a scale of 1–10. This helps keep us honest about whether we delivered what we promised. If you can, we highly encourage you to arrive early and stick around after the meeting ends to connect with someone new and build community.

Why join ENRG?

Running a business is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. Not because you’re alone, but because the people around you are looking to you for answers, and there are plenty of days when you’re not sure you have them.

ENRG exists for that moment. We’re a help-first community of entrepreneurial leaders who believe value compounds when we share experiences, challenge ideas, and support each other. Every month, ENRG chapters around the globe get in a room together to share what’s working, tackle what isn’t, and find the right people and resources to move things forward.

Connect

with fellow business leaders who get it.

Find your people: the ones who know what it’s like to run a business, share your values, and support you without strings attached.

Learn

from the collective wisdom in the room.

Gain access to ideas and expertise to level up your journey, no matter what stage you’re at or what challenges you’re facing.

Act

with more clarity and confidence.

Walk away with renewed energy, a clear next step, and the WHO’s and HOW’s you need to move things forward.

Membership Eligibility

Who can attend ENRG Chapter meetings?

ENRG is intentionally built around four seats, each with an essential role. If you don’t fit one of these four seats, ENRG chapter meetings aren’t the right room for you.

ENTREPRENEURS

ENRG is for entrepreneurs at every stage of the journey – whether you’re a solo operation or running a business of 250 employees, you belong here.

To be clear: If your business is running on EOS, this is the Visionary seat. But if you’d never even heard of EOS until five minutes ago, that’s great, too! If your role sits at the top of the org chart and you’re ready to get unstuck, you belong here. Period.

2ND-IN-COMMAND LEADERS

If you’re an Integrator – the person who takes the Entrepreneur’s vision and turns it into an organization that actually runs day to day — you belong here.

To be clear: If your company isn’t running on EOS, your title might be COO, President, or something else entirely, but the rule is the same: you sit directly below the top seat, and the leadership team reports to you. Fractional Integrators are welcome too.

EOS IMPLEMENTERS®

As a licensed EOS Implementer, your experience guiding small-to-medium businesses through EOS® implementation gives you pattern recognition no single business can build on its own. At ENRG, that experience isn’t just for teaching EOS®. It’s for guiding Entrepreneurs and their 2nd-in-Command Leaders toward what they actually need, wherever they are in the journey.

To be clear: Every ENRG chapter is co-led by an EOS Implementer, but you don’t have to be a chapter leader to join. All licensed EOS Implementers can (and should!) be part of a local ENRG chapter.

ENRG™ EXPERT PARTNERS

If you’re part of an organization that’s gone through ENRG’s rigorous values-fit process and been approved as a paid partner, you’re encouraged to attend ENRG chapter meetings and bring your perspective and expertise to the room.

To be clear: Chapter meetings are not open to subject matter experts who don’t have a formal partnership with ENRG. If you haven’t been approved as an ENRG Expert Partner, and you don’t fit one of the other three descriptions above, chapter meetings aren’t for you. [Want to become an Expert Partner?

Got questions?

We’re here to help.

Why is it called ENRG (and how do you pronounce that?)

ENRG stands for “Entrepreneurial Networking Resource Group.” It’s pronounced “energy” because that’s exactly what it’s meant to create. Every chapter meeting, connection, and conversation is designed to leave members more energized to go run their business than when they walked in.
