Programs Overview
Every AATB program exists to move you along the same path:
Connection → Learning → Collaboration → Leadership → Opportunity.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Monthly Mixers
Purpose: To replace surface-level networking with real, guided conversation.
What happens: Facilitated discussions and live Hot Seats bring real business challenges into the open, so members hear different perspectives and get honest feedback instead of a stack of business cards.
Outcome for participants: Clarity on a specific challenge, and relationships that continue after the event ends.
Quarterly Workshops
Purpose: To support small business owners as whole people, not just business owners.
What happens: Sessions cover business coaching and strategy alongside mindset, wellness, personal development, and practical skills.
Outcome for participants: Tools and perspective participants can apply immediately — to their business and their life.
Private Lounge
(6-Month Coaching Program)
Purpose: To move members from learning into consistent, guided execution on sales and marketing.
What happens: A structured 6-month program combining live training, monthly assignments, and weekly group feedback sessions, built around proven frameworks for brand story, offer development, and outreach.
Outcome for participants: A clear brand story, a refined offer, and a working sales and marketing system — plus the accountability to actually implement it.
Annual Summit
Purpose: To bring the full community together and mark how far members have come.
What happens: A larger-scale gathering that celebrates the year’s progress alongside entrepreneurs on similar journeys.
Outcome for participants: Recognition, renewed momentum, and connection to the wider AATB community at scale.
Volunteer Pathways
Purpose: To give members a way to build leadership experience while directly supporting the community.
What happens: Members contribute time and skills to event planning, community support, and program delivery.
Outcome for participants: Real leadership and organizational experience, plus a deeper role in shaping AATB.
Focus Group
Purpose: To give members a direct path into volunteering and shaping AATB from the inside.
What happens: Members apply through the Focus Group Participation Form, sharing their availability, the skills and strengths they want to contribute, and where they’d like support to grow into the role. Focus Group members help run the community day to day, planning, coordinating, and supporting programming.
Outcome for participants: Real leadership experience within a nonprofit, a direct hand in shaping AATB’s programs, and a stronger sense of ownership in the community they’re part of.
Reconciliation Work
Purpose: To give members a structured, respectful way to work through conflict and rebuild trust within the community.
What happens: Members can request a reconciliation conversation through the AATB Reconciliation Reflection Form, which is designed to encourage honest communication, create space for reflection and accountability, and support constructive conflict resolution — facilitated by trained members of the Focus Group’s Reconciliation Facilitator team.
Outcome for participants: A fair, respectful process for resolving conflict, and a stronger, more trustworthy community as a result.

What AATB Is All About
When you complete it, you’ll receive personalized insight into what may be holding you back, along with a clear direction you can actually act on.
This isn’t just about your business—it’s about the environment you’re growing in. Your results will help you see whether you’ve been trying to figure things out alone, or if the right community could accelerate your progress.
From there, you’ll be invited to experience AATB in action by joining an upcoming event—where you’ll see how guided conversations, live Hot Seats, and real collaboration create clarity and momentum.
And if it resonates, you’ll have the opportunity to go deeper—building relationships, gaining ongoing support, and staying connected with a community that continues to grow with you.
Tired of awkward networking events or trying to grow your business alone, yet still want real support and meaningful connections?
Just because you’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in other spaces doesn’t mean that’s how it has to be. We focus on real conversations, clarity, and connection, so your experience is not only productive, but also inspiring and energizing. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just figuring things out, you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who understand the journey—and want to see you win.
Here’s what you can experience when you join your first AATB event…
More Structured and Focused Discussions
Every session is guided with intention, so conversations stay meaningful, relevant, and valuable, not scattered or surface-level.
More Direct, Actionable Support for Your Business
Through live Hot Seats, workshops, and guided feedback, you’ll walk away with ideas and next steps you can actually apply.
Better Follow-Up and Accountability After Events
We’re building systems to help you stay connected, continue conversations, and take action beyond the event itself.
More Opportunities to Connect with the Right People
Instead of random networking, we’re creating environments where aligned entrepreneurs can build real relationships over time.
