Practical tools and frameworks to help your EO forum stay organized, run better meetings, share deeper updates, and stay connected between them — all in one place, so moderators save time instead of juggling a bunch of separate tools.
Your story is the 95% — this guided builder helps you find the 5% beneath it: one headline, three feelings, three WHYs deep, and the realization about YOU. Sends straight into your Update Sheet.
Find your 5% →Prepare your monthly forum update: how you're feeling across Work, Family, and Personal, what's behind it, the 5% significance, and your outlook. Saved privately on your device — download it as a PDF (or CSV/TXT) to bring to your meeting.
Fill out your update →Presenting a Deep Dive? Qualify your topic (significant, unresolved, emotionally complex), separate the story from the struggle beneath it, and arrive knowing your question of essence.
Prep your Deep Dive →Plan your next meeting and email a calendar invite to every member — or, if the date isn't set, propose a few times and let members vote on what works. Signed-in forums only.
Schedule a meeting →Run your meeting on time. The standard 4-hour agenda and both Deep Dive formats as a big, screen-shareable timer — with the coach's four steps on screen and your Deep Dive picks pulled from the Parking Lot.
Run your meeting →Park topics all month on the urgent/important quadrant, and spot the Q2 topics — important but not urgent — that deserve a Deep Dive. Saved on your device; download the lot as a PDF for your meeting.
Open your forum's lot →Ten themes, a hundred prompts, and a built-in per-person timer. Open your meeting with a question that helps this group of entrepreneurs really know each other — answerable in about a minute, and printable as a PDF.
Pick an ice breaker →Capture each member's one-word open and close every meeting. Month after month, the board becomes your forum's mood trendline — download it as a PDF anytime.
Open the board →Enter your forum members once. Their names are saved on this device and flow through the whole app — present/absent on the agenda, whose turn in Ice Breakers, who said it on the One-Word Board, and whose topic in the Parking Lot.
Set up your forum →See your whole forum in one directory — everyone’s email and WhatsApp — with a copy/paste list of every address and a one-click “email everyone” button. Any signed-in member can use it.
Open the directory →Keep your own details current — your name, business name, and WhatsApp number — so the rest of your forum can reach you in the directory.
Update your details →Every forum needs a clear, shared constitution. Check off the confidentiality rules and core commitments, then add articles on membership, attendance, roles, business dealings, amendments and more — plus your own house rules — and print a signable document for the whole forum.
Build your constitution →What forum actually is (and isn't), the four cornerstones in plain language, how coaching differs from giving advice, and answers to the questions every new member asks.
Read the guide →The EO Forum Training handout: Forum philosophy and cornerstones, the monthly meeting agenda, Deep Dive formats and coaching steps, 5% Reflections, and the Parking Lot — all in one reference you can download or print.
Download the guide →A no-cost, member-led initiative offered to EO members worldwide by the EO LAC Bridge chapter — what it is, why it's free, and how to reach the member who built it with questions, comments, or suggestions.
