Highwoods

Each unforgettable event is tailored to grow individual leaders on your team.

Tap into potential leaders

On every team, there are individuals who are just waiting to make a difference.

You can give them that opportunity. Each event is uniquely tailored to different organizational specialties - Owners, Recruiters, Salespeople, Operations, and Future Leaders. The 2-1/2 day agenda focuses on personal growth and accountability to ensure the champion from your company comes back with a clear action plan and confidence to get desired results. The JP Horizons team will then stay committed to keeping each Highwoods group connected and accountable to each other throughout the year.

"JP Horizons has had the greatest and most profound impact on my professional career than any other group in which I am associated. It has given me a dynamic exposure to a diverse group of people across the country - many have become close friends. The idea sharing and business transparency has been invaluable and I've implemented many ideas that I have learned into our business. Without a doubt Jim and his team are making a difference in people’s lives, businesses and families now and into the future."
