Walter 

Hardenstine

During the last seven years Walt has grown the Renaissance Executive Forum groups in Tampa Bay to a membership of over 56 of some of the areas most well respected and run businesses.  When asked, why join an Executive Forum group, he answered, “There is a certain magic that occurs when leaders from diverse backgrounds come together for the purpose of becoming “even better” leaders of their companies. Some identify this phenomenon as the power of a “mastermind” group; others call it a CEO roundtable or advisory board experience.  In facilitating CEO roundtables, I have observed a special synergy that develops among members as trust and professional intimacy builds. I have seen leaders do great and courageous things because of the support and the objective observations shared by the members.”
