What we’re about
if you are a self-aware entrepreneur or want to be one - one who strives to make a real difference in the world. We are changing names and changing our mission - formerly The Bay Area Entrepreneurs Network, we now focus on those who desire to be conscious about the role they play in changing lives.
This is the opportunity to network with like-minded self-aware peers, learn how to grow your business while growing yourself and changing the world.
My name is Jonathan Bender, and it's my pleasure to support you. The founder of WholeSpeak, I've been coaching for 15 years, and it's my passion is helping you empower your own voice.
Stay tuned for more exciting meetups!
