Be Known As A Real Leader
You’re building a company. Leading people. Making decisions that impact livelihoods and communities.
But here’s the real problem:
-
The market is moving fast.
-
Your strategic planning is falling behind.
-
Your network has been exhausted.
You know what got you here, won’t get you there while you’re working “in” the business and not “on” it.
The Problem
TIME
-
CEOs Don't Have It. You've tried…
-
Building Your Own Board ($50-$150k/yr)
-
Executive Coaching ($3-5k/mo)
-
You’re invisible to investors and partners
Meanwhile You…
-
Can’t Find CEOs at Your Level
-
Don’t Want More Advice
-
Need to Meet CEOs Outside Your City
You don’t need ore theory. You need practical perspectives from CEOs who are in your shoes right now without adding another full-time obligation. The Real Leaders Council Fixes That.

"Through the Real Leaders ecosystem, I have gained so much that has helped me to elevate my voice and my organization's presence. Specifically, accessing speaker coaching as an unexpected outcome of participating in the impact speaker contest has been game changing. More generally, gaining presence in the Real Leaders magazine while also participating in a well curated CEO peer group experience has been a wrap around of value that wouldn't be possible without Real Leaders." – Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Real Leaders is for those who carry the weight of leadership—and are ready to rise with others who do the same.
This isn’t a network for titles. It’s a movement for leaders who are driving real change and seeking connection with peers who understand the pressure, the purpose, and the potential of leadership.
To ensure every member gets meaningful support from true equals, we carefully vet applicants for executive-level experience and decision-making authority.
We evaluate your seniority based on a range of factors, including:
- Your role in shaping company vision, culture, or strategy
- P&L or team leadership responsibility
- Board or investor engagement
- Track record of growth or innovation
