The Advisor Lab: The Art of Great Advising

Written by Toni Ignacio | Sep 10, 2026, 6:07:40 PM

Great advisors don't just share experience—they know how to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and help founders think differently.

Join fellow InterGen Advisors for the inaugural Advisor Lab, the first session in our new Advisor Circle program developed in partnership with Level 52. Together, we'll explore what it means to be an exceptional advisor and begin building a shared philosophy for how we support founders across the InterGen community.

Through facilitated discussion, practical frameworks, and interactive exercises, we'll examine the difference between coaching and consulting, explore the foundations of effective advisor-founder relationships, and develop techniques for leading conversations with curiosity before moving to advice. Along the way, we'll collectively define the principles and best practices that will shape the InterGen advisor experience for years to come.

Whether you're an experienced mentor, board member, investor, or operator, this session offers an opportunity to learn alongside peers, strengthen your own advisory approach, and help establish a consistent standard of excellence across our advisor community.

Key Topics

  • What defines a great InterGen Advisor?
  • Coaching vs. consulting
  • Building high-impact advisor-founder relationships
  • Asking better questions that unlock better conversations
  • Practical frameworks you can apply immediately

This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with fellow advisors, exchange perspectives, and help shape the future of advisor engagement at InterGen.

We hope you'll join us for this exciting first session as we invest in the continued growth of one of Alberta's strongest communities of experienced business leaders.
