ELP is for the owners of a business while the typical member of SEP works with (or for) the owner. EChO is for the next generation leaders in a family business, regardless if the have shares (yet) or who to whom they report.

While some people are eligible for all 3, 80% of the questions are about helping people decide if they are ELP or SEP candidates. If the business is a partnership, then any partner can apply for either program.  The discussions in an ELP session revolve more around shaping the vision & strategy, making large business decisions and weighing options that boil down to “judgment calls”. SEP conversations relate more to growing personal capabilities to prioritize, execute and optimize through a team.

While there is overlap, most people can read the following descriptions and align with one personality more that the other:

• ELP members crave opportunities for growth. They often feel alone, operate with gut instinct and are passionate and curious to share fresh ideas with like-minded entrepreneurs in a dynamic environment. They are both “itchy” and scared to expand past what they do today.
• SEP members want to supplement their existing knowledge and experience. They tend to be pragmatic leaders who focus on improving the operation through systems, communication and accountability. They want to make good decisions to improve the stability of the company.
