PAST PARTICIPANTS
COACHING YOUNG PROFESSIONALS INTO HIGH ACHIEVERS
You’ve identified who they are. They have a command of their industry, their work product is great, and they are showing signs of leadership.
But what if they don’t emerge? The high potential 21 to 38-year-olds need professional coaching on how to navigate the Twin Cities business community. Our program utilizes our proprietary IMPACT FORMULA© to help your FRONTRUNNERS develop a powerful network, sharpen their influence skills, and most importantly connect with fellow high achievers.
As our economy nears full employment the competition for talent is getting fierce. Protect your investment in your employees that are leading the pack.
WHO WE ARE: OUR LEADERS
Cathy Paper
Cathy Paper has emerged as one of the Twin Cities most connected people. “Six degrees of Cathy” is often used when two people make a connection. Her incredible skills at helping executives find their voice – either for a book or a speech – make her an invaluable resource.
Shaped by her experiences at a major ad agency and a Fortune 500 company, Cathy is uniquely positioned to share her deep knowledge of how to “play up.” Cathy’s great instincts and generosity will truly help shape tomorrow’s leaders.

Paul Jaeb
Paul Jaeb has left quite a legacy. In 1991 he started his own firm at age 26. Over the past 25 years he grew his investigative and forensic firm into one of the largest of its kind in the country. Along the way he had many mentors, joined many peer groups, and entrenched himself in the Twin Cities community. In 2015 he realized his original goal set 25 years prior – to sell his company at its peak. His vast network is legendary, from boardrooms and C-suites to professional athletes and non-profits.
Paul’s encore is to replicate what so many business leaders did for him…helping people amplify their business skills and become true leaders.

IMPACT 100 - A FRONTRUNNER NETWORKING TOOL
An impactful network is one that is carefully curated, diverse, and manageable.
Frontrunners learn how to establish their network by starting with 100 individuals that will have the most impact today. By working one-on-one with participants, we help them select partners that will help them achieve their goals.
Diversity is a cornerstone of the Frontrunner experience. An effective network must reflect the business community you operate within. It must be reflective of race, gender, trade, and geography.
But above all, a network must be manageable. We believe that you can only manage around 100 connections. Having 10,000 social media connections is not a network.
Paul Jaeb and Cathy Paper have mastered the art of managing highly curated and diverse networks. Frontrunners will benefit from their experience and guidance.
MEETING FORMAT
Each group of 8-10 individuals is personally curated by Cathy and Paul. One of our business community’s glaring weaknesses is our meaningful lack of inclusion for young leaders that are recruited to the Twin Cities. While “Minnesota Nice” is a good start, we need to create “Minnesota Embrace.”
Our goal is to foster relationships among young leaders that are actually reflective of our current business community and the one it will become in the next few decades. Diversity in race, gender, geography, and profession are critical to our mutual success.
Leaders sometimes have a difficult time coaching associates on expanding their network. We feel good about sending them to industry events, but then realize they are only connecting with others just like themselves! If they attend “networking” events around town they may just hang out with friends. No one is pushing them to really connect.
Our IMPACT FORMULA© is a proven system that teaches Frontrunners what networking should be and holds them accountable to each other in their efforts to build high impact networks. It is the cornerstone of our program.
