    Small, large peer group discussions a feature of annual event.

    HVAC company owners from across the country came together on November 9-12 for The Unified Group’s 13th Annual Meeting/Owners’ Forum in Dana Point, CA.

    Dr. Alan Zimmerman kicked off the session with a presentation on leadership.

    “Leadership has little or nothing to do with your title or your position. But it has everything to do with your ability to influence and bring out the best in others,” said Zimmerman. During his “Leadership Payoff” discussion Zimmerman shared strategies, ideas, and even lessons learned from his own life with attendees.

    “It was a great reminder of the impact you have on others and their success,” said one Unified Group member.

    The Annual Meeting/Owners’ Forum is the opportunity for owners to get together with their peers. Over the three-day session, attendees were able to discuss their business goals, leadership challenges, and strategic plans in both small and large groups.

    “It’s refreshing to see that other contractors are going through the same issues,” said a meeting attendee. “It’s funny how I had thought my problems were unique. I found out today that I’m normal!”
