Leaders Loft is a space dedicated to strengthening Idaho businesses by equipping entrepreneurs and developing leaders so our families and communities thrive.
Description
Stronger businesses, stronger Caldwell
Running a business can feel isolating—but it doesn’t have to be.
The Caldwell Leaders Breakfast is designed to bring local business owners and leaders together to build relationships, share perspective, and strengthen the business community right here in Caldwell.
At this gathering, we’ll explore what makes a business strong—not just in terms of revenue, but in how it operates, how it serves, and how it contributes to the local economy.
Jeanine Barkan will share practical insight into how business value is created and what factors matter most over time. While many owners don’t think about valuation until they’re ready to exit, understanding these fundamentals can help you make better decisions today.
Brent Oetken will build on that by connecting these ideas to the day-to-day realities of running a business—how to create clarity, build a team you can rely on, and put simple structure in place so the business doesn’t depend entirely on you.
More importantly, this event is about connection. You’ll be in the room with other Caldwell business owners who are facing similar challenges and opportunities.
You’ll leave with:
Practical ideas to strengthen your business
A better understanding of what healthy, sustainable businesses look like
New relationships with other local business leaders
Who should attend
Caldwell-area business owners, operators, and leaders who want to grow their business while being part of a stronger local business community.
