Start Your “Mutual Selection Journey” into a CEO Peer Group…

July 19, 2016 |

You lead. You found. You own. You hold the President and CEO title. That seat is hot. You drive hard. You don’t take a break. You achieve big. Your energy is boundless. You are exhilarated. You might also feel lost, drained and disengaged. Sometimes you get stuck IN the weeds of your business. That’s the paradox. Most Leaders:

  1. Feel isolated and are looking for a source of agenda-free advice
  2. Struggle with a balance between work and personal time
  3. Are frustrated by slowing, stagnating business
  4. Have difficulty managing rapid growth
  5. Wish to be held accountable

The reality? You don’t get to wear your frustrations or anxieties on your sleeve.You don’t get to have a bad day.You have to show up every day. You still have to make the key decisions for the company. You have to inspire active participation in your vision. You have to build culture. You have to manage change. You have to live in a perpetual state of discomfort. So,
