You Didn’t Become a CEO to be Trapped in the Day-to-Day
You're putting out fires, raising capital, and are "always-on". Meanwhile..
-
The market is moving fast.
-
Your strategic planning falls behind.
-
Growth is stagnant.
You know what got you here, won’t get you there while you’re working “in” the business, not “on” it.
The Problem
TIME
CEOs Don't Have It.
You've Thought About…
-
Building Your Own Board ($50-$150k/yr)
-
Executive Coaching ($3-5k/mo)
-
Local Chapters & Groups ($3k-$18k/yr)
Meanwhile You…
-
Can’t Find CEOs at Your Level
-
Don’t Want More Advice
-
Need to Meet CEOs Outside Your Area
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.
Meet the Council

The Council Gives You
-
The strategic perspective of a board
-
The accountability of a coach
-

"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
