Every AATB program exists to move you along the same path: Connection → Learning → Collaboration → Leadership → Opportunity.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
To support small business owners as whole people, not just business owners.
Sessions cover business coaching and strategy alongside mindset, wellness, personal development, and practical skills.
Tools and perspective participants can apply immediately, to their business and their life.
To bring the full community together and mark how far members have come.
A larger-scale gathering that celebrates the year's progress alongside entrepreneurs on similar journeys.
Recognition, renewed momentum, and connection to the wider AATB community at scale.
To replace surface-level networking with real, guided conversation.
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.
Clarity on a specific challenge, and relationships that continue after the event ends.
To move members from learning into consistent, guided execution on sales and marketing.
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.
A clear brand story, a refined offer, and a working sales and marketing system, plus the accountability to actually implement it.
To give members a direct path into volunteering and shaping AATB from the inside.
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.
To give members a structured, respectful way to work through conflict and rebuild trust within the community.
Members can request a reconciliation conversation through the AATB Reconciliation Reflection Form, 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.
A fair, respectful process for resolving conflict, and a stronger, more trustworthy community as a result.
From monthly mixers to workshops, summits, and experiences beyond business – AATB is a community that continues to grow together.
