Why Smart Leaders Track Everything

EO Members and Strategic Alliance Partners
Tuesday, January 13, 9:00a - 12:00p
Kiln
1120 SE Madison St.

Simple strategies to track and achieve wellness for your highest potential.

Why Smart Leaders Track Everything is a high-impact, two-hour workshop with BioLounge Precision Medical Clinic co-owners, Jeff Grimm, NP and Megan Barnett, MS, CNS, to teach leaders how measurable data drives peak performance, resilience, and longevity.

In this session, participants will learn why tracking key biomarkers is not only a health strategy, but a business strategy that improves cognitive function, emotional stability, energy, and decision-making. The talk simplifies complex functional medicine concepts into practical, actionable screening frameworks leaders can implement annually.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the most important annual lab markers and performance metrics every high-level leader should track.

• Understand how inflammation, metabolic markers, sleep data, and hormone balance directly influence leadership capacity, creativity, and decision-making.

• Implement simple, repeatable tracking systems using wearables, functional lab testing, advanced screenings, and daily habit metrics.

• Recognize early warning signs of burnout and physiological decline—and know which biomarkers predict them.

• Build a personalized performance plan that aligns lifestyle behaviors with objective data for sustained high performance.

Blue Ocean Shift: How to Win in the Age of AI

EO, SAPs, and Key Executive Forum Members
Thursday, February 12, 2026, 9:30a - 11:30a
Columbia Edgewater Country Club
2220 NE Marine Dr.

Competition-based strategies aren't enough to sustain high performance in the age of AI.

Shoppers are increasingly using new, generative AI tools like ChatGPT to make purchase decisions, surfacing product options that would otherwise have been missed and transferring power to those offering superior value, not just brand awareness or marketing appeal. At the same time, AI is increasingly taking over analytical, rules-based and programable tasks, including benchmarking and incremental improvements. The upshot: the premium placed on creating over competing is only going up. Traditional competition-based strategies aren't enough to sustain high performance in the age of AI.

In this talk, Renee Mauborgne will share her latest research on blue oceans, leadership and why creating trumps competing in the face of AI.

Learn first-hand how to:

• MOVE beyond competition and seize new growth opportunities

• GROW through nondisruptive innovation

• BUILD people’s confidence to seize new opportunities & change

• SHAPE industry boundaries in your favor

EO Forum Bowl

EO Members Only
Wednesday, March 18, 2026, 10:00a - 4:30p
Multnomah Athletic Club
1849 SW Salmon St.

Your forum is your team. But are you playing to win or just showing up and hoping?

Welcome to Forum Bowl, a day where we'll be taking a hard look at how coaching shows up (or doesn’t) in forum. From live and prepared deep dive coaching, self-coaching, and even coaching family, friends and colleagues outside forum, this event is designed to dramatically grow how we show up for one another.

Some forums have strong deep dives thanks to a few expert coaches. Others are top-notch on reflection, roundtables, or clearing. But almost every forum has room to grow when it comes to coaching; when you strengthen this muscle, the whole group levels up.

This daylong event blends a killer keynote, hands-on workshops, social time, and space for your forum to meet to send you home with new energy and real skills.

What Your Forum Will Learn:

• How to self-coach so you don’t get stuck in the same loops

• Tools for giving stronger, cleaner coaching in Forum

• What it looks like to coach outside the Forum setting (and why it matters)

Bring your Forum mates. Bring your curiosity.
