5 reasons to join a CEO peer group
Below are five reasons to join a CEO peer group.
- Framework for success. Access to a proven problem-solving process designed specifically for CEOs leading second-stage businesses.
- Wisdom of the crowd. You have someone on your level who you can talk to about your problems and challenges. Roundtables provide a confidential setting and can serve as a quality sounding board.
- Lifehacks for CEOs. You’ll be exposed to the experience of your roundtable, including proven business practices that could take years to learn on your own.
- Real-time problem-solving. You can bring issues up at roundtable meetings and receive the context needed to make better decisions faster and with greater confidence.
- Accountability. As the owner and leader of your business, there’s often no one to hold you accountable. Roundtable members will give you unvarnished, honest assessments that provide accountability and drive your business forward.
If one or more of these 5 reasons resonate with you, CEO Nexus can be of service.
The Value of Participating in a CEO Peer Group
Our “Why”
We believe second-stage business owners are the economic superheroes of the American free enterprise system. They create a disproportionate number of net new, sustainable jobs and generate the revenue and wealth that help our communities prosper. CEO Nexus was founded with a single focus – to serve CEOs leading growth-oriented, second-stage businesses as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of achieving their goals.
The CEO Nexus Promise
Central to everything we do is the CEO roundtable program. These peer-to-peer discussion groups are the foundation of a member network of qualified business leaders. This entrepreneurial environment is designed to deliver our propriety process, custom content and relevant best practices – making it easier for members to solve the inevitable problems owners face while scaling their businesses.
Our pledge to you as a CEO Nexus member:
1. We promise to provide a confidential setting where you will receive relevant input and feedback from CEO peers who understand your role and the challenges you face.
2. We promise to ask the tough but fair questions you need to hear to establish the context required to make better decisions faster and with greater confidence.
3. We promise to provide a culture of accountability needed to stay on target and on task as you pursue your near-term and long-term goals.
We are confident you will gain a new and expanded perspective on your business and your role as the leader. Join us, and we will work together to achieve your goals.

CONTENT MODEL
Roundtable Framework™
What would your business be like without you? When you look at the key functions of a business the way an investor or buyer looks from the outside in on your business, you get a clearer picture of the functions that need attention. The Roundtable Framework™ Assessment is a self-assessment that gives owners a visual guide on business functions, producing a picture of strengths and weaknesses.
