The NY Professional Forum is run by three directors with extensive and highly varied business experience. We think that this diversity has helped us develop a very exciting process – we believe it will produce rapid and positive results for presenters and participants alike. We call it “The Outcome is Income.”
To harness the talents of our three directors, we have organized our business on the model of the Russian Troika. (You may know that the troika is a single carriage or sled, pulled by three horses. When the horses are all pulling together, the cart goes like the wind. On the other hand, when one or more of the horses chooses a different direction, or decides to sit down, it can get interesting.)
See below, for the track records of each of the horses of our troika.
