CEO or Owner

How Hard is it to be a CEO today?

Get Started

Are you tired of going at it alone? How do you change your business model? Do you need advice on how to manage a change management initiative? Do you need to create a new strategy? Would you like to have a sounding board (who are not family and friends) to address business challenges? Would you like a perspective from successful business people who have been there and done that? Do you have what it takes to be successful? We tell it like it is. Unlike many consultants, we guide CEOs off “leadership island” and into a generative community: The Peer Advisory Group and Executive Coaching. Together we challenge, encourage, assess, learn, and grow together. You gain access to:

 

  • CEOs outside your industry
  • Predictive Index, reducing your "People" headaches
  • A much-needed sounding board with fellow business owners in a Mastermind Group setting
  • Monthly one-on-one Executive Coaching for personal insight and accountability 
  • Leaders who seek to take their companies to the next level.

 

Too often, we meet CEOs who tell us how busy they are, but they have fallen into the trap of working “in” their business, rather than “on” their business. Our program pulls the CEO out of the weeds and up to the 30,000-foot level. We've added The Predictive Index as a key strategic and scientific partner, bringing the world's only software tool that measures people’s drive and turns it into easy-to-follow actionable plans with focused team coaching to unlock hidden profitability and growth potential in your company.

Find the Approach That is Right for Your Business

The average CEO we meet is very bright, but when you put a group of 8-12 business owners in the same room, the collective resources of the group have the power to achieve results much faster. Our model provides an innovation greenhouse, pushing each company to new heights of growth and development.

  • "Business Essentials" Group Coaching

    If you are not ready for a dedicated Executive Coach and Peer Advisory Group, we offer a do-it-with-help approach to move at the right pace and cost: the "Business Essentials" Group Coaching Program. For a variety of reasons, we find that Solo-Entrepreneurs (solopreneurs) may not have the resources (i.e., time, money, people) to leverage dedicated Executive Coaching and participate in Peer Advisory Groups.


    Our "Business Essentials" Program provides an opportunity to meet monthly (90 minutes) with like-minded business owners. We supplement this with weekly "Ask the Expert" Calls.

  • "Mastermind" Peer Advisory Group

    Our Mastermind program includes a Peer Advisory Group, Executive Coaching (90-minute monthly 1-on-1), and "Business Essentials". The Peer Advisory Group (Board) is 8-14 CEOs (Members) from diverse industries and backgrounds. In our monthly Group Meeting, we offer a structured, half-day session with other CEOs and experts where we:

    • Focus on one Member's Business (Host Presentation)
    • Address Member Issues (Group Input across all Member businesses)
    • Deliver Impactful Content (Subject Matter Exerts, articles, books, etc.)
    • Provide Access to Other CEOs

    You also get a monthly, 90-minute 1-on-1 session where we focus on your Business Goals, Strategies, Objectives and Tactics to achieve your Vision.


    We get in the trenches alongside you to supplement your efforts. This helps you maintain perspective, develop and execute superior strategies, and create an organization that will work for you. Our coaching allows you to concentrate on driving your business forward, not getting bogged down in the day-to-day grind. Face-to-face coaching plays an integral role in providing the needed perspective, accountability, and encouragement to take strategic action steps. Move farther, faster, on your most important goals!

  • "Deep Dive" Private Client

    Some entrepreneurs want to dive deeper into their business, get more access, and get faster results. We offer the option for a customized, deep-dive into your Top Three Struggles. These differ from Member to Member.


    We will work with you to understand where to focus. For some Members, the challenge may be with staffing. With others, it may be financial or operational. In some cases, there may be personal challenges that need attention. Regardless of the symptoms, we will work with you to identify the root cause and get traction accordingly.

Group Meetings

During the monthly Group Meeting, one Member typically provides a Host Presentation on her/his business. We use this as an opportunity to update the Group on their business, discuss issues their business is facing and provide recommendations to address the issues. Our structured approach provides a risk-free zone to build leadership skills with feedback from an unparalleled audience on issues that are important to you.

During the Issue Discussion, we gather issues across all Members and use a proven approach to clarify the issue and solicit feedback from the entire Group. The diversity of the Group inevitably brings ideas and perspectives not available otherwise.

We also bring Content to you. Our rich history, partners, and network enable us to attract leaders who have in-depth experience in key areas we jointly determine are important to your business. Years of experience, coupled with an understanding of your situation, allow us to tailor curriculum that is foundational in nature. We take the time to apply the lessons to real-life situations.

Most importantly, we provide access to other CEOs. Not only do you get one half-day with Member CEOs each month, but we also extend an invitation to join other CEOs from around the country for our National Client Retreat. During this annual event, we share best practice and peer learning with the extended family of CEO Focus Members and Franchisees.
