Between 8-12 members belong to each Collaberex group. We limit the size of the groups so that everyone gets to participate and share their viewpoints throughout each meeting. We believe in forming fewer deeper relationships that lead to more impactful mutual benefits.

We have a group of experienced, paid and trained facilitators who lead each meeting and whose sole purpose is to enhance the value our members receive at each meeting. Master Facilitators

Collaberex currently has 10 groups; we urge all interested candidates to visit several of our groups and choose which is the one that works best for them. Members are welcome to attend any group at any time…there are no restrictions on attending and meeting all of our members.

When you first express an interest in exploring our community, schedule a Zoom call with Jonathan https://calendly.com/collaberex/30min and based on your conversation he will recommend groups to visit that are best for you.

You are welcome to discuss your issue with one of our facilitators and request some time at an upcoming meeting to have an issue-processing session with your peers. All members understand that meetings are completely confidential so that members feel comfortable sharing details. You can also post your issue on our portal and ask members to contribute their suggestions to help you. Plan a 1-on-1 with a specific member that may have skills and insights that will help you solve your challenge.

We have two membership plans that provide access to our entire community. If you pay monthly our current membership fee is $225.00 USD. If you pay annually our current membership fee is $2000.00 USD.

If someone wants to join a group that already has a member in a profession that appears to be a competitor, we give the existing member full, reasonable veto power to prevent the competitor from joining their particular group. In reality, 99% of the time members welcome others even if they may be direct competitors. Our members have an abundance mindset and view others as collaborators vs. competitors.

Elevator pitches are discouraged. We care more about “who you are” as a person vs. what you do for a living and what your features & benefits are. Once we learn “who you are,” will we care about what you do for a living. Our groups are educational, growth oriented and collective thriving environments, not just promotional opportunities.
