etc. — working with them and my coach, I was able to
make new, innovative strategic change a major success and exceed revenue expectations. This is one of several reasons why I find my MasterMind Board so valuable, worth the time I spend with them, and why I strongly recommend the Chief Executives Guild to my peers.”

Avoid Costly Misconceptions
Potential Blindspots
You Have a Coach or Mentor
A good executive coach can help you maximize your performance. Joining a CEG MasterMind Board is very different. A group of peers — next generation presidents and CEOs of family-owned businesses, who understand the challenges you deal with better than anyone else, because because they are living it. They can help you identify your blind spots, provide unbiased advice based on their personal experiences. Each member of the CEG MasterMind Board is there to support each other in achieving the results and legacy each member desires.
You’re a Member of a Peer Group or Meet Regularly with Other Chief Executives
Trusted peer relationships can be invaluable, particularly of those in your group are next generation leaders of family-owned businesses and your group is uses a formal, facilitated wisdom sharing process that helps you quickly find the right answers and determine what will and won’t work, especially when you are facing your toughest decisions. Our curated and facilitated CEG MasterMind Boards dig deeper and delivers the clarity and ideas you need to make better decisions, take the right action sooner and get better results.
You Have Experienced Board Members, Smart Executive Team Members and Knowledgeable Outside Counsel
Strategizing with board members, executive team members, and advisors is invaluable, yet their advice is almost always biased by how your decision or strategy will impact them professionally and personally. Our CEG MasterMind Board provides confidential, objective, strategic decision support and unbiased advice from a group of experienced chief executives who have no stake in the outcome and whose only objective is your success.
You Do Not Have the Required Time
You are not alone. Many chief executives feel the same as you—too much to do, too much travel, too many high-priority demands, not enough time to get everything done. However, chief executives who actively participate in CEG MasterMind Boards report that they are now accomplishing far more in far less time and seeing higher levels of bottom-line growth, profitability and increased quality of life.
