Introduction
“Charting The Northwest Passage” is a mentoring group for land surveyors and similar professionals who want to improve their business expertise.
We will meet once a week for 30 minutes to 45 minutes to discuss a specific business question or topic.
The Northwest Passage was a shortcut across the North American continent promising a short overseas connection between Europe and Asia. Several explorers searched for this passage. Turns out, it ran through the polar ice cap – which isn’t very helpful for sailing ships.
The group name “Charting The Northwest Passage” was chosen to reflect the challenge of learning how to run an effective land surveying and mapping business. It is – in essence – like trying to chart a sea route that doesn’t exist.
