Confidential CEO Roundtables
Better Judgment for the Decisions That Matter Most
CEO Roundtables give CEOs, presidents, owners, managing partners, and executive directors a confidential place to examine important issues, challenge their thinking, and make wiser decisions with the perspective of experienced peers.
Leadership Requires Judgment
The more responsibility you carry, the more consequential your decisions become, and the fewer places you have to examine them candidly.
Information is readily available. What leaders often lack is a trusted environment where assumptions can be challenged, blind spots exposed, and difficult choices considered from multiple perspectives.
EAC Roundtables were created to provide that environment.
Who It’s For
A fit for leaders who:
- Carry ultimate responsibility for consequential decisions
- Value candid outside perspective
- Want their thinking challenged without agenda or politics
- Need a confidential place to examine difficult issues
- Recognize that experience alone does not eliminate blind spots
- Want to continually strengthen their judgment as leaders
The Format
Monthly half-day meetings
Up to 12 carefully selected, non-competing members
Professional facilitation
Strict confidentiality
Private one-on-one advisory sessions between meetings
What Happens In The Room
Each meeting follows a disciplined process designed to improve the quality of members’ thinking and decisions:
Members identify their most important and time-sensitive issues
The group decides where its judgment can add the most value
Questions uncover assumptions, missing information, and blind spots
Experienced peers offer perspectives grounded in real-world experience
Members leave with greater clarity and committed next steps
Follow-up creates accountability for action and results
What Strengthens Good Judgment
Diverse Perspectives
Experienced leaders see an issue through different lenses, revealing options and risks that may otherwise be
missed.
Candid Challenge
Members question assumptions and say what others inside the organization may be unwilling or unable to say.
Disciplined Dialogue
A structured process moves the conversation beyond opinions and surface-level advice.
Professional Facilitation
Thoughtful facilitation keeps the group focused on the real issue and the decision that needs to be made.
The Executive Advisory Council is a trusted environment where I can surface significant challenges and make better decisions through clear, experience-based perspectives. The value of the group’s collective wisdom is tremendous, and my 1:1s with Michael are invaluable.
