Survey for Leaders, Managers, and Business Owners

Hi! I'm the owner of Marty Mundy Consulting, and I built this survey after talking with many leaders who have a thirst for professional development and support. I'm considering creating general and women's-specific support groups. This survey is intended to help me better understand what folks need/are looking for and what kinds of support structures might be useful.

It should take 3-9 minutes to complete, and you can be from any sector (for-profit, nonprofit, public, etc.). Share what you're comfortable sharing. All questions are optional.

The information gathered is intended for use only by Marty Mundy Consulting to make observations in aggregate, such as "66% percent of managers want negotiations training". Your information can be provided anonymously, though you will have options at the end of the survey if you would like to be notified if I put together programming like that which I talk about in the survey, want me to contact you to talk about working with you (just say that in your comments if so), and/or don't mind being contacted by me if I have questions about your answers. Email me at marty@martymundy.com with questions. Thank you!

Roundtable/Group Support Structure: I'm considering putting together some kind of leadership groups - roundtables, circles, etc. - I'm not sure on structure yet. But I'd like it to be something where those in management & leadership positions can meet and have

(a) guided focused conversation & learning on topics that affect our professional lives

(d) peer support on issues they are struggling with, and
(e) an experience they feel connected to, fulfilled by, and energized by
