Stuart Watson
“Sometimes it’s not about keeping all the balls in the air, but knowing when to drop one and who to let pick it up. In times of rapid change it’s critical for the CEO to keep his eye trained on the future direction of the company, since no one else is paying attention to it.”
Mark Terrill
Over the course of his 35-year career in the insurance industry, he built and grew three different firms, each of which was a long-term success story. Mark’s passion for business in general and for the development of the people who helped grow his companies fueled their ongoing prosperity and growth.

Robert Hunt
“Always have a Plan B. If your plan isn’t working, change it. Keep changing it until it does work. Remember, you never lose, you either win or you learn. In life as in business, strong leaders should embrace the idea that their actions should always meet their intentions. Clarity of thought and action is paramount to their success."
Chuck Homer
“It is the members who are accountable for their own learning and for taking action that get the most out of TEC. We welcome CEOs and owners who are ambitious, authentic, self-aware and want to make a difference.”
