The Alternative Board Australia Testimonials
The community has been such an incredible part of the journey so far and is one of the reasons I joined The Alternative Board. I love the model, and I really believe in what we do with our peer boards and the coaching and the tools we have available.
Emma Lovett - TAB Business Owner, Brisbane South West
One of the reasons I became a franchise with The Alternative Board is the belief in the methodology. The concept of sharing ideas and challenges is the essential ingredient for success in business. My members experience a better way to analyse, consider and then act on challenges or opportunities they face. I love being part of that journey with them.
Tim Horbury - TAB Business Owner, Adelaide City
My life has changed since becoming a TBO in that I am more focused. I make decisions based on my own personal vision and where I am trying to get to. Its really helped me determine what is important, what’s taking me towards where I want to go in terms of achieving my personal vision and business vision and letting go of the things that aren’t taking me there.
