Why 3 EO Members Attended EO's London Business School Growth Forum 7 Times
EO London Business School Growth Forum keeps attracting members back for new learning opportunities, as many as seven times--and there is a strong reason that they keep coming back. Three long-time participants share how the program's evolving case studies, world-class faculty, and global peer learning continue to transform the way they lead and grow their businesses.
By Anne-Wallis Droter, EO Global Staff Writer
EO membersshare a thirst for entrepreneurial learning. To satisfy their drive for continuous growth, EO offers a portfolio of EO Executive Education programs. Each of the nine immersive experiences allows EOers to step away from the day-to-day demands of their companies, learn alongside like-minded peers, and gain practical tools, fresh perspectives, and lasting connections.
Each year, EO London Business School Growth Forum (EO/LBS) offers four days of faculty-led sessions and study group work. The program is based on case studies of real, EO-like companies that the faculty often know intimately, challenging participants to decide how they would handle each company's business dilemma. Year after year, this experiential style of learning delivers a growing set of tools and frameworks that can help every entrepreneur better manage the inevitable challenges growth brings. With a new faculty lineup and all-new material every year, EO/LBS is designed for EOers to return multiple times to add more tools to their entrepreneurial toolkit.
EO members take this unique learning method to heart, returning to the EO/LBS program multiple years in a row to maximize their case learning experience: Andrey Aliasov, EO Russia; Ran Geva, EO Israel; and Eyal Solomon, EO Israel have each attended EO/LBS seven times and "graduated" from the program. Rhonda Sparks, EO Sacramento, has attended the program for six years.
We asked these growth-minded EOers what kept them coming back. Here's what they shared:
You have attended EO/LBS multiple times. What draws you back year after year?
"LBS is a unique program where the case studies and focus change every year. The goal is growth, and there are many dimensions through which you can achieve it. On top of the great professors and lectures, the EO members I met each year taught me a lot; it wasn't just the program, but the participants who helped me learn." -- Ran Geva, EO Israel, co-founder and CEO, Webz.io.
* * *
"I keep going back because every year I leave a better business owner than when I arrived. Running a business can be isolating. It is easy to get stuck in the day-to-day challenges and lose sight of the bigger picture. EO/LBS forces me to step away from my routine, travel across the world, and spend a week learning alongside entrepreneurs who are facing many of the same opportunities and challenges I am." -- Rhonda Sparks, EO Sacramento, president, UV Skinz.
* * *
"Three reasons: The topic of growth, its many facets, and the people who attend. First, business growth is truly universal; you could talk about it not seven times, but 77. Second, every year the organizers (especially the key professor, John Mullins) somehow gather the aspects of growth that are most relevant -- and the topics are always new and different. Third, the mix of people. Each year there are people I'm happy to see again, plus new faces. Together, this creates a growth impulse, and I feel that if I miss it, I will miss something important." -- Andrey Aliasov, EO Russia, founder and CEO, Cultimate.
* * *
How has your business evolved between your first EO/LBS experience and your most recent one? How did the program help you navigate that growth?
"I have been through at least three crises in my market; the program helped me get through them more effectively -- and triple my revenue per employee." -- Andrey Aliasov
* * *
"My business changed immensely. I learned the value of culture and strategy, learned the skill of negotiation, and implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) in my company. Our ability to execute is the most noticeable change." -- Ran Geva
* * *
What is one framework, tool, or concept from EO/LBS that continues to influence how you lead your company today?
"Without a doubt, John Mullins's 7 Domains framework. The first time, I used it to understand my business; the second, to build moats around it; the third, to prioritize. Each time, I see new ways to apply it. But I take away something new from every talk. In the 2026 LBS program, it was AI -- the need to build an AI factory, the fact that technology is no longer a moat, and the importance of creating an accelerated AI loop for a technological advantage." -- Andrey Aliasov
* * *
"As mentioned, EOS completely changed how we run our company. If you tear it apart, it's nothing you haven't heard before; however, the way it is implemented and organized makes the organization run much smoother. From defining the 'seats' to hiring the right people, defining rocks, To-Dos, values and strategy: Everything works in harmony." -- Ran Geva
* * *
"The professors, especially John Mullins, have a remarkable ability to take complex business concepts and make them practical. The case-study learning approach is incredibly effective, because you are not learning theory, you are discussing real companies, real decisions, and real problems that often feel very familiar. Beyond the classroom, I have built meaningful relationships with entrepreneurs from all over the world. Those friendships and business connections continue long after the program ends." -- Rhonda Sparks
* * *
What surprised you most about the quality of discussion and peer learning among EOers from different countries, industries, and stages of growth?
"It showed that my understanding of business is not bad at all -- and sometimes I think maybe I am among the best EO members. However, at the same time, it shows me that there are plenty of people in EO that I still need to strive to match -- people who are far stronger than me." -- Andrey Aliasov
* * *
"The fact that you meet other EOers with the same DNA makes everything click right away. It is like meeting old friends you never knew before. Everyone is open and honest, and it makes the learning experience so much better." -- Ran Geva
* * *
If a fellow EO member asked whether they should attend LBS, what would you share?
"The combination of world-class education, global perspectives, practical takeaways, and personal growth makes EO London Business School one of the best investments I have ever made in myself and my company." -- Rhonda Sparks
* * *
"I was involved in two Forums at my chapter, and I got both of them to attend LBS, so that says something about my experience. Their experience was also fantastic, and many come back year after year. Every year, you meet new people, however you do see the same people coming back since it is such a great experience." -- Ran Geva
* * *
"If you want to grow, the EO London Business School Growth Forum program is for you." -- Andrey Aliasov
* * *

WASHINGTON, July 23 (TNSrep) -- The National Association of Realtors issued the following news release:

NAR Releases Second Quarter Update for Strategic Plan Progress
The update highlights momentum across seven priorities that protect members' businesses and reinforce the value of membership
-
The National Association of REALTORS(R) released its second quarterly update on the 2026-2028 Strategic Plan today. The update shows how the association's work is protecting members' businesses, expanding access to resources and guidance, and reinforcing the value of NAR membership.
"NAR's responsibility,executed through our Strategic Plan, is to deliver strong advocacy, clear guidance and applicable tools to help you serve your clients, grow your business and lead in your communities," said NAR CEO Nykia Wright.
This quarter's report highlights progress across seven priorities:
1. Amplifying lobbying impact through coalition building
NAR led passage of the most significant federal housing package in nearly 20 years into law through a nationwide advocacy campaign. NAR's role in this passage will address supply and affordability challenges.
2. Collaborating with MLSs to ensure market transparency
The association published practical guidance and resources for MLSs and members and championed the MLS system by bringing together industry partners to submit letters to the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and the U.S. Copyright Office. The guidance increases clarity around MLS policies, and the letters support a transparent, pro-competitive housing marketplace.
3. Securing legal momentum and elevating brand protection
Reduced legal uncertainty, including reaching a major strategic settlement in the Tuccori homebuyer commission case and several court dismissals involving challenges to NAR's membership and MLS structure. The Tuccori settlement has received preliminary court approval and, if granted final approval, the settlement would give members, state and local associations, MLSs, and eligible brokerages protection from potential copycat lawsuits without requiring new business practice changes.
4. Strengthening broker engagement with targeted programming and resources
Enhanced how NAR listens and responds to broker needs, by deploying new broker-specific resources, business tools, advocacy forums, and direct outreach designed to help brokers strengthen operations and generate business.
5. Modernizing technology infrastructure and data capabilities
Delivered new market intelligence tools and strengthened member data to help members make more informed business decisions, better serve clients, and stay competitive in a data-driven real estate market.
6. Modernizing governance through strategic committee reform
Continued to make governance more effective and efficient by implementing a new application process that better aligns member expertise with leadership opportunities and simplifying committee structure to create a stronger leadership system.
7. Evolving education to fit real world needs
Modernized REALTOR(R) education through stakeholder-driven curriculum improvements, -migration to a new learning management system and more accessible, relevant professional development opportunities that will give members easier access to high-quality, modern learning that helps them build skills, meet rising professional standards, and strengthen the trust that sets REALTORS(R) apart.
"The goal is simple: clearer information, more useful resources and stronger support to help you run your business and serve your clients in today's market," Wright said.
Looking ahead, NAR will continue this work through more role-specific programming at NAR NXT, the launch of its new Learning Management System and an increased commitment to professionalism.

ERIC Statement on E-Delivery Proposed Rule
President and CEO of The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC), James Gelfand, released the following statement applauding the Trump Administration and the Department of Labor (DOL) for their thoughtful leadership in proposing updates to modernize communication requirements for employees and employers related to health and welfare plan disclosures.
"Today's proposed rule from DOL represents a meaningful and welcome step toward default electronic deliveryof ERISA health and welfare plan disclosures--one that reflects how working Americans already access, manage, and engage with their benefits information today.
"ERIC is grateful for the Administration's attention to this important issue and thanks the DOL and Acting Secretary Sonderling for recognizing that modern, secure, and accessible communications can better serve employees while reducing unnecessary administrative burdens for employers. When finalized, this DOL rule will help employers devote more time and resources to delivering high-quality benefits, supporting their workforce, and ensuring employees receive the information they need in a timely and practical way.
"This proposal is a win for employees and employers alike. Today, every worker has a smartphone, and nobody benefits when archaic requirements lead to billions of dollars being wasted on paper, ink, and snail mail.
"We look forward to providing comments on the proposed rule and continuing to work constructively with the Administration to ensure millions of Americans receive timely, secure, accessible, and user-friendly communications about their health benefits."

Discover Boating June 2026 Health Score Index -- What to Know
June's Health Score Index shows strong participation, awareness and consumer engagement trends despite a lower overall score, helping dealers better understand how future boating demand is developing.
HSI Data: Participation increased, awareness remained strong and consumer engagement improved despite ongoing market challenges
-
The June Discover Boating Health Score Index (HSI) recorded a lower overall score thanMay. Yet several underlying indicators -- boating participation, consumer awareness and engagement with boating marketing -- moved in a different direction. As your dealership tries to understand future demand, those indicators help tell a more complete story than the index figure drop alone.
What June Health Score Index Shows
The June HSI measured 71, down 11 points from May and 29 points below the March 2024 baseline of 100. According to NMMA, the decline reflects continued pressure across the recreational marine market, along with the intentional testing and optimization efforts Discover Boating has been conducting throughout the season.
While the overall score declined, key indicators continued moving in a positive direction:
* Market visibility remained above benchmark levels.
* Participation exceeded benchmark levels and increased 15 percentage points from May.
* Target audience reach improved for the fourth consecutive month.
* Discover Boating's marketing campaigns continued generating stronger consumer engagement.
* More consumers took meaningful next steps after interacting with Discover Boating content.
These positive trends means there's momentum for the industry. Consumers continue engaging with boating, participating on the water and exploring opportunities to get involved in the boating lifestyle.
Why June's Health Score Changed
June marked the conclusion of the first phase of Discover Boating's second Test & Learn campaign. The objective was to determine whether advertising tailored to a consumer's interests would outperform standard advertising creative. The campaign produced measurable gains.
Compared with standard advertising, the tailored approach generated:
* A 28% increase in visits to DiscoverBoating.com
* A 13% increase in highly engaged consumers who clicked through to NMMA member websites
The June HIS report also showed growth in consumers moving deeper into the boating journey after engaging with Discover Boating content.
When compared with May 2026:
* Referrals to dealer websites increased 46%.
* Referrals to manufacturer websites increased 97%.
* Referrals to rental operator websites increased 173%.
Those actions suggest consumers continue researching products, brands and boating experiences even as broader market conditions remain challenging. Additionally, the report also highlighted a decline in search trends, which is not uncommon in the age of artificial intelligence. It fell below benchmark levels for the first time in two quarters. NMMA noted that changing online habits may be influencing that metric, as consumers increasingly use AI-powered search tools instead of traditional search engines when seeking information.
Why Dealers Should Pay Attention
June's report may seem contradictory if your only focus is on sales activity. But remember, participation increased, consumer engagement improved and awareness was strong despite the HSI decline. That critical to understand, because the Health Score Index is designed to measure what happens before consumers enter a dealership.
Discover Boating's role is not to generate immediate sales and leads. Its role is to help introduce new consumers to boating, build awareness and encourage participation. Dealers, manufacturers and other industry stakeholders then help consumers continue their journey. June's results suggest consumers are still moving through the top of that funnel and discovering boating. They are spending time on the water and also taking actions that indicate continued interest in learning more about the boating lifestyle.
You should not view any HSI report as a future sales predictor. Instead, use the index to monitor whether consumers are entering the market and engaging with boating before they arrive at your dealership.
What Dealers Should Watch Next
As the summer boating season progresses, be aware of:
* Participation levels and on-water activity
* Continued growth in target audience reach
* Consumer engagement trends resulting from Discover Boating marketing efforts
* Results from the next phase of Discover Boating's media testing
* How awareness and participation trends evolve through the remainder of the season
Month-after-month, those indicators give you additional perspective on how future boating customers are entering the market.

About the Discover Boating HSI
Discover Boating, powered by NMMA and MRAA, developed the Health Score Index to track how consumers are discovering, engaging with and developing interest in recreational boating. The index measures awareness, engagement and participation across the early stages of the customer journey, helping the industry better understand market momentum over time.

CAHP Issues Statement on Covered California Preliminary 2027 Rate Changes
Covered California today announced preliminary health insurance rates for 2027, citing an average statewide rate change of 9.9 percent. This rate is lower than last year's 10.3 percent increase. The proposed rate can be attributed to many factors, including: rising hospital costs, the increasing impact of specialty and GLP-1 prescription drug expenditures, the cumulative costs of new statehealth coverage mandates, federal changes to Medicaid coverage, among other factors. Last year, Congress did not extend the enhanced federal tax credits that helped Californians afford their premiums in the Covered California exchange, further adding pressure to premium costs.
"California's health plans remain steadfast in our commitment to keeping coverage as affordable as possible for California's individuals and families," said CAHP President and CEO Charles Bacchi.
"While this year's average rate change of 9.9 percent is lower than last year's 10.3 percent increase, health plan premiums face strong pressure from ever-increasing hospital and prescription drug costs, the cumulative impact of legislative health care mandates, federal changes to Medicaid coverage and reduced ACA subsidies. Despite these challenges, we are working tirelessly to ensure Californians have access to quality, affordable health insurance.
"It's important to note that rates may be further impacted due to the $1.5 billion MCO Tax recently signed into law. We will continue to do our part to support efforts that help improve health care affordability and protect access to care for all Californians."

BoatUS Brings Recreational Boaters' Voice to Congressional Maritime Safety Roundtable
Industry leaders and policymakers discussed key issues shaping the future of boating safety, navigation, and emerging technologies
-
On Tuesday, July 21, at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C., David Kennedy, Government Affairs Manager for Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), participated in a congressional roundtable titled "Intersecting Courses:Maritime Safety Regulation and Technology."
The roundtable brought together members of Congress and stakeholders from across the maritime sector--including representatives from U.S.-flag passenger vessels, fishing, autonomous vessels, charter vessels, barge industries, offshore supply vessels, and the recreational boating community to discuss marine safety and the impact of evolving technologies, construction methods, and user dynamics on the nation's maritime industries.
The roundtable encouraged an open exchange of ideas, beginning with participant introductions followed by a discussion of key maritime safety and technology issues. During the session, Kennedy highlighted several priorities for recreational boaters including:
* Preserving AIS as a Safety Tool: BoatUS maintains that AIS should remain a voluntary safety tool used for situational awareness, collision avoidance, and search and rescue.
* Maintaining Physical Aids to Navigation: BoatUS supports continued investment in buoys, lights, daymarks, and the Coast Guard vessels that maintain them.
* Supporting the Coast Guard Office of Boating Safety: Kennedy recognized the office's role in supporting state boating safety programs, education, law enforcement training, and accident prevention.
"As new technologies continue to shape the boating experience, BoatUS will remain a strong advocate for policies that balance innovation, safety, and the interests of recreational boaters," Kennedy said. "Our goal is to ensure that boaters benefit from these advancements while maintaining access and supporting safe navigation on our nation's waterways." Kennedy thanked Chairman Mike Ezel, Ranging Member Salud Carbajal and members of the Committee for their support of boating safety across the nation.
