Lunch & Learn: Working on Your Business

July 30, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

As a business owner, you wear a lot of hats. Every day brings new challenges—employee issues, customer demands, operational fires, and an endless list of decisions. It's no wonder many owners feel like they're working harder than ever while still struggling to gain the traction, accountability, and clarity they want in their business.

The reality is that most owners spend so much time working in their business that they rarely have the opportunity to work on it.

In this engaging and practical session, you'll learn why that matters more than ever. With one of the largest transfers of business ownership and leadership in history underway, only a small percentage of privately held businesses are expected to successfully transition to the next generation of ownership. The businesses that thrive will be the ones whose owners create clarity, build stronger teams, and focus on what truly drives results.

You'll leave with simple, actionable tools you can put to work immediately, including:

  • A guided strategic planning exercise built around 8 Simple Questions that can help clarify priorities and identify opportunities.
  • A fresh framework for evaluating whether you have the right people in the right roles.
  • A practical approach to identifying just 1–3 key performance indicators (KPIs) that can improve accountability, transparency, and execution across your organization.

Whether you're looking to grow, improve profitability, reduce frustration, or build a business that's prepared for the future, this session will provide practical insights you can start using the very next day.


Speaker Bio

Will Karbach enjoyed a 35 year career in heavy-highway and industrial construction. His career started in the field, progressed to running projects, leading operations, and then running the company. He went on to become CEO and Chairman of the large multi-discipline construction company in Southwest Virginia with revenues over $500mil. 

After retiring from construction and wanting to try something new, someone gave him a book called Traction, by Gino Wickman. Will almost immediately decided he wanted to teach EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System, to business owners and their teams to help them “Get a Grip” on their businesses. 

In 2021, he became an EOS Implementer and has helped dozens of leadership teams get more of what they want out of their business. In addition to becoming a Certified EOS Implementer he is now also a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA). He is the most experienced EOS Implementer based in our region.
