A Global Community
of Support

The O2O groups are just phenominal. I pick things up, and share things too, every month. We pass things back and forth. It helps you elevate your business through cooperation that you just wouldn't have on your own.

It is an amazing group of people that unselfishly help each other with their businesses.

When you have people around you that understand your world, they understand your business, they understand your life, the day-to-day challenges; the day-to-day wins that you have... It just adds a lot of comfort and a lot of peace of mind at the end of the day.

You can ask questions. Any question you have, somebody else is already stuggling with... Connect with people. No question is a dumb question. You will have a whole group of people there to solve your problem with you.

With The NextGen Program, my team saw an improvement in my leadership skills, most notably my desire to engage and help them grow, to find solutions rather than just be the boss and tell people what to do. Well worth the time invested.

Being part of The NextGen Program and working with Annette Wehrli and 21 other NextGeners has been phenominal. I don't come from a recruiting background, so one of my goals has always been to learn more about recruiting — but what I love — it's not just about recruiting, it's about running a business that happens to be in search. I am learning a tremendous amount of that at MRINetwork. When it comes to leadership and organizational development, I wasn't trained in those areas, so I was looking for that and MRI has not disapointed.

The impact and guidance we have received through NextGen have kept us moving forward. We learned where our weaknesses were and how best to recover, and where we needed to grow. We are on pace for our best year since making many changes through the last three years.

When we started, we were simply looking for some leadership development. We had no idea that our NextGen would excel so quickly. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the program and all it has done for the business.

There are two areas that I think are the most valuable from MRI. Number one is the training. When you are onboarding new people, the Learning & Talent Development team – the programs they have put together are amazing. For someone who is running a desk while trying to lead a team, having those resources is incredibly powerful... The second piece is just coming to MRI. Having the opportunity to talk to everybody else – people who are some of the best performers in the industry… You can’t find the level of talent that’s in this room right now anywhere else in the world.

When you're in a room with 400 people that are all trying to lift their game, it's really hard not to come away with higher expectations, higher confidence, more tools, more techniques, and more energy.

What value do I get from MRI? I get value on multiple levels. I think the one of the values is the networking and the learning opportunities we get from meetings like (United 2022). It's been two days, so far, of nonstop, intense meetings. I've got a lot of takeaways, a lot of things to take back to the office, to implement in order to build my desk – to build my business – and do a better job helping my clients build their teams... It's a great opportunity to learn from others, to see what they're doing, to see what they're not doing, and to see how I can take that back to my day to day.
