A NOTE FROM
PRESIDENT
HENRY RISCHITELLI
Dear Members,
The Board is thrilled to launch the new EO fiscal year by announcing
our 2016/17 theme: “LIMITLESS.”
As entrepreneurs, we know no limits in our jobs and our personal
lives. We strive every day to stand out from the crowd and never
take no for an answer. I have applied this same philosophy to my
presidency of the EO Atlanta Chapter. I, along with the EO Atlanta
Board, have worked diligently to put together a calendar of events
that delivers on quality, growth and remarkable, unforgettable
experiences. As you can see from the first 6 months highlighted in
the following pages, we have put together a comprehensive event
schedule focusing on improving you as an Entrepreneur and business
leader within your organization. With amazing speakers, experiences
and networking events planned, we have provided limitless
opportunities for personal growth.
LETTER FROM THE
PRESIDENT
SEPTEMBER
2016
As your leader of the Atlanta chapter, I have an unwavering focus on
the quality of your experience in EO. Whether you are new to EO or
continuing your journey, I believe this will be one of the best years in
the history of the EO Atlanta Chapter. I look forward to seeing you at
these events.
Sincerely,
Henry Rischitelli

OUR STORIES
“
ONE THING THAT CONTINUALLY AMAZES ME
about EO, is the positive effect it has on perspective and the importance of asking
better questions. Whether I am attending a world class learning event, having a chat
with a member, or engaged in forum, obstacles diminish and the impossible becomes
possible. Learning about an experience of how another member achieved something
truly spectacular has forced me to continually challenge my beliefs, create a better
vision for the future, and ask what I can and must do to make it happen.
– ALAN BRAY
“
EO HAS ALLOWED ME TO CONNECT
with other entrepreneurs locally and beyond. My forum (Epic) in EO has been there
for me through selling a business and starting a new venture. EO has helped me grow
personally and professionally as an entrepreneur.

“
BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR IS LONELY
and it comes with a unique set of stresses, pressures and demands. Only other
entrepreneurs understand those pressures. We all face challenges as entrepreneurs
and thanks to EO, I’ve found a home where I can share my experiences and learn from
others on how to not only grow as a business but as an entrepreneur.
– LISA VAN KESTEREN
“
EO OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
to surround yourself with driven, like-minded and vetted individuals. EO encourages
tremendous personal and professional growth in an environment that’s safe and
supportive.

MAGNETIC: BE A
ROCKSTAR PRESENTER
JULY 20, 2016
A two-hour interactive session that will introduce you to a framework for developing
more powerful content for any communication situation. This process is designed
specifically to help you achieve three critical keys to communication content
success: staying results-oriented in both the planning and delivery of your content,
communicating from your listener’s point of view – without loosing your own,
and rolling out your content in a way that drives minute-to-minute engagement –
including visuals that support rather than control your communication.

SOCIAL AT PIRCH
JULY 27, 2016
JULY 2016
From the beginning, PIRCH has operated with a defiant attitude and audacious
objective: To focus on people and life’s precious few moments, rather than stainless
steel and porcelain. Our homes serve as the backdrop that connects us to family,
kindles our friendships, and creates permanence within our community. This is a truth
universally acknowledged. As for PIRCH, we are neither retail zealots nor big company
movers. Like you, we are fathers, mothers, friends, wives, brothers, builders, cyclists,
wannabe chefs, animal lovers, creators, travelers and at least one cheese head. Come
explore how Pirch is changing an industry and socialize with fellow EO’ers.

Clark had a rare and unique perspective of leadership and the
degree of motivation required to excel in different leadership,
training and learning methodologies applied by individuals that
were working towards the attainment of their goals. He has
seen the best and the worst of men under some of the most
arduous conditions. Clark takes these experiences and advises
on motivation, team-building, leadership, strategic planning and
executive communications skills. Join your fellow EO’ers for an
evening of mental hurdles, as Clark trains your mind to overcome
any and every obstacle on your way to growing your business and
becoming a stronger leader.
Clark will go through as much as he can from his lessons learned from
training the most elite group in the world to do some of the most
dangerous tasks imaginable. He will sit down and open the pain and

PARENTS MAKE
OCTOBER 11, 2016
No matter the age of your children, you never stop being a parent.
No matter how great your children are, there is always something
more you can do. Based on 20 years of work with young adults, Steve
Anderson reveals the most common mistakes parents make that
keep their children from being even more self-reliant and successful.
This seminar answers these and more common parent questions:
• How can I get my young person to be more motivated?
• How can I prevent them from taking everything they have for
granted?
• What can I do to help them make their own decisions instead of
just going along with the crowd?
• What can I do to teach them the value of hard work?
