The Power of CEO Peer Advisory Groups
Grow Yourself, Your Career & Your Business
Being a member of a business owner’s peer advisory group is a proven way to be the best business owner possible. Members are exposed to well-founded business practices, share challenges, successes, issues, and goals. They collaborate with each other on ideas and strategies that will help them succeed in realizing the full potential of their business.
Most all business owners and entrepreneurs are extremely knowledgeable about the product or service they offer. However, being a business owner requires leadership and multiple proficiencies in areas such as:
- Human Resources
- Training
- Marketing
- Advertising
- Sales
- Customer Service
- Operations
- Finance
- Accounting
- Organizational Skills
- Time Mastery
- Work/Life Balance
The best business owners solve challenges quickly, make hard decisions in a timely manner, and learn from other members’ experiences. These are all key tasks involved in being successful… and that’s why joining a peer advisory group is so beneficial. By sharing insights and information with other CEOs who have been down the same road, members can be equipped with the tools they need to strategically think through options and make decisions that save time and money. Members are held accountable for doing what they say they will do, allowing them to be proactive rather than reactive in their business decisions.
This is a place where confidentiality, diverse membership and non-competing organizations have a “safe space”. Members are free to be open and honest about their goals, successes, and struggles. Our members find energy and positive reinforcement from those here who understand the demands of leadership.

Assessing Your Most Valuable Assets
Empowering your team can be a challenging feat for any business owner. To maximize effectiveness, teams need to communicate efficiently and work together to reach their desired goals.
The inherent hiring issue: Hiring employees who may look ideal on paper sometimes prove to be expensive liabilities down the line! Meanwhile there are candidates without all the necessary credentials, who are eager-to-learn and could bring real value if given proper support from management. How can you identify these hidden talents?
For those already on your team: The key lies in determining their strengths and weaknesses to understanding how each personality type interacts with one another. By gauging essential skillsets, assessing problem-solving capabilities, monitoring engagement levels, and fostering an environment of discretionary effort among staff members, you can unlock the highest potential from within your workforce.
See how Employee Assessments can play a role in high-percentage hiring and team building!
Employee Assessments
DISC
The world’s #1 behavioral/communication tool, DISC Assessments provide a detailed analysis of an individual’s Natural and Adapted behavioral styles. DISC reveals how a person will most likely behave within a given environment, situation, or relationship. It offers prescriptive lessons to highlight and maximize self-awareness, intentionality, and interpersonal communication.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence assessments spotlight and examine one’s self-perception. By understanding our emotions, we can manage them effectively, and improve our decision-making, leadership skill, and effectiveness as individuals. It also allows us to read the emotions in others and engage in mutually beneficial interactions and results.
Critical Thinking
The Critical Thinking Evaluation is a unique assessment measuring anyone’s individual problem-solving skills and their ability to avoid the blind spots associated with situational bias. In essence, the assessment measures, with uncanny accuracy, an individual’s critical processing patterns, thinking strengths and abilities, as well as, overall judgment skill set.
Workshops & Speaking Engagements

For your business or organization to flourish over time, making changes that challenge the norm is essential; wanting “what’s important” must factor in if real growth is desired.
