Peer Advisory Groups,
and Executive Coaching
The drive, instincts, and determination that got you here are real. At some point they stop working and become the ceiling to the company’s continued growth. Growth stops feeling like a straight line and starts feeling like resistance, friction, frustration, a problem you cannot always name. That inflection point is where Allan Fried's CEO groups and executive coaching begin.
“I appreciate all the support and guidance that I have received from the group and I truly believe you all have changed the trajectory of my life in the best way possible.”
John Araneo
CEO, Crescent Harbor Wealth
The value in my groups are not what you can get from a Ted Talk or even a book. It is a confidential room where you are surrounded by an inner circle who have been where you are and have no other agenda then to help you succeed. We will challenge you, hold you accountable, give you honest input and expect the same from you.
Group members bring real topics they can’t talk about anywhere else. They are the challenges, questions, decisions, and opportunities they cannot quite see clearly. The leadership challenges they have been carrying alone.
We look past the symptoms such an overwhelmed CEO or stagnant growth to the underlying causes: habits, mindset, and beliefs that got the company to where it is but now are the ceiling to it’s continued growth.
What actually happens in the group?
I have been an executive coach and Vistage Chair leading peer advisory groups since 2013 and my experience is the combination of our CEO peer advisory group and one-on-one executive coaching is far more effective than either one alone. It comes down to biology; human beings are adaptable; we become like the people we spend the most time with. The results speak for themselves, we have members in the group since it started 13 years ago, and others for 9, 8, and 5 years. Members don’t stay because they have nothing better to do with their time. We help you become a better leader, executive, parent, spouse, and human. Read more about our groups here.
the outcomes are real
"My business wouldn't be where it is without Allan’s CEO peer group. I have these 15 people rooting for me, challenging me, and holding me accountable. The impact has been invaluable."
Chris Yeung
Co-Founder, Vimbly Group
Don’t just take our
word for it.
According to multiple Dun & Bradstreet studies, CEO peer group members through 2020 found they grew their companies 2.2x faster than comparable businesses.
“This groups approach to leadership coaching has changed the way I perform as a business owner. Using the tools and experiences I gained through my membership I have doubled the size of my company and bettered my work/life balance at the same time.”
