MPWRForum
Where merely mortal consultants evolve together as a superhero squad!
MPWRForum is a squad of consultative and fractional business solution providers from multiple disciplines and areas of expertise. MPWRForum serves as an ecosystem for client-centric superheroes who are passionate about empowering themselves, the SMB and nonprofit clients they serve, and communities through purposeful positive change.
MPWRForum assists consultative and fractional business solution providers to:
- Grow their businesses.
- Grow as a leaders.
- Stay current about the consulting industry and best practices through education.
- Help other small businesses and nonprofits.
So far, my MPWRForum experience has allowed me to grow in confidence in networking and have reliable partners to help go through and build business opportunities in the community, versus doing it on my own.
We are building an ecosystem. What I find particularly beneficial about MPRWFOrum is hearing from other professionals who serve my target market. We approach issues and opportunities from different perspectives and it's been helpful in thinking about how I can better offer services to my clients.
MPWRForum Member Commitment
At the beginning of each MPWRForum meeting, the following oath will be stated out loud by all of its members.
I, (name), do solemnly swear to accept the lifelong obligation to hone my Superhero powers, and apply those Superhero powers to the good of the clients I serve.
I will promote and add to the ongoing success of MPWRForum, its members, team, and the clients and communities it serves. I will help prepare the next generation of Superheroes.
I am driven to be a positive change agent for those I serve and interact with.

Education and Certification
We educate and certify subject matter experts to be business consultants. All members must successfully complete "The Foundations of Business Consulting" course before participating in the Advisory Board.
New courses will be given routinely, and members can take them at their own pace and time.
Additionally, we have partnered with the Community College Workforce Alliance on some course offerings, which will allow you to earn CEUs on successful completion of some courses.
Peer Group Coaching
We provide a peer group where consultants grow together, share best practices, and hold each other accountable.
A certified career coach with leadership coaching experience virtually meets with each cohort each month for two hours to help each member grow their leadership and interpersonal skills, as well as be held accountable to their personal goals.
Advisory Board
The Advisory Board is an ecosystem of business product and service providers who collaborate virtually together each month for two hours for the purpose of helping each other solve their client pain points and reach their client goals. The Advisory Board is led by experienced consultants. Through collaborations, relationships will form, catalyzing new business through referrals, leads, and project sharing.
Additionally, the Advisory Board may have the opportunity to serve as a fractional Board of Advisors to other small businesses and nonprofits. By helping advise small businesses and nonprofits thrive, we help communities thrive. Additionally, this serves as another opportunity for members to meet new business leaders that could benefit from working with them.
Resources
We offer resources and tools to grow consultancy businesses.

The board will assist the consultant to think from different perspectives and provide additional value for the client.
