What Is the CEO Collective

Our CEO Collective peer groups are focused on getting you to where you want to be — the next level.

The invitation to join is only extended to CEOs who are growing their businesses and are eager to learn and grow themselves. Members show up and bring their full selves to the table.

When you are a part of a CEO Collective peer group, you are surrounded by people who truly understand the challenges you are facing and are willing to share from their experience. With direct feedback from your peers on key issues your business is facing, you can make decisions more rapidly and thoughtfully.

Our meetings are tightly run and follow a case review process ensuring members have a forum to get candid and thoughtful feedback from their peers.

CEO Challenges

Some of the tough questions our members bring to the table in cases include:

▶

How do I know where to invest and where to pull back?

▶

Do I have the right business model, processes and organizational structure to effectively grow the business?

▶

When and how should I successfully address complex people issues?

▶

What is the right sales strategy? M&A strategy? Financing strategy?

"You get direct, candid, actionable feedback from 8-10 CEOs. I can go back to my leadership team and give a different viewpoint that we can leverage in our organization to help efficiency and most importantly, growth."

Member since 2010

What Sets Us Apart

What makes the CEO Collective different

Meeting attendance is not optional, and preparation is required

Our 1:1 support sessions with a Strategic Facilitator help members prep for meetings

Our structured methodology and tools, refined by input from CEOs over the course of 20 years, are proven to drive results

Our meetings are high-impact because they are structured with cases and feedback — no guest speakers or open discussions

Our Strategic Facilitators are seasoned executives. All CEO peer groups are run by former CEOs and every facilitator is certified and committed to consistent program quality and driving results

We prioritize in-person interactions

We offer access to our full network of CEOs through an annual CEO Retreat, an online member-only app, and regular all network online events

Membership Criteria

Our CEO members meet the following criteria

You run a great, growing company, poised for future success. Your company meets the $5M minimum revenue criteria and is profitable (or on a clear path to reach these criteria).

You are a CEO committed to actively driving strategy and growth. You are in a position to work on the business, seeking continued leverage, and are thoughtful and proactive with time management.

You are a CEO with integrity, experience and an open mind. You have much to share to help your peers, but are also eager and open to learn from their experiences.

Our thoughtful member selection process ensures that our program is worth your time and will have an impact. We only work with CEOs and companies where we can partner to drive successful business results. By curating a Collective of successful CEOs and companies, everyone wins.
