At the beginning of the program, I send out a survey to all members so I can understand what they care about most. I also use diagnostic tools, including the DiSC assessment, so they know their own leadership and communication styles and how that influences their work. This guides both individual and group sessions. For individual sessions, those are structured to help members with their unique goals. Whether they’re leading a company being purchased by a private equity firm or they’re running sales across a region, the individual sessions will be tailored to meet their needs and address their challenges. For group sessions, each month has a theme. I often have outside speakers come to discuss things like how to have high-stakes conversations, tax and wealth creation, and board readiness in service to nonprofits and startups. We might read a book and work through a guided discussion. There will also be a chance for members to lead a session that highlights their zone of genius and benefits the group as a whole.
