Why Solo CEO Boards?

Owning and running a business brings thrills and chills. In large organizations, the CEO has a team of senior executives and/or managers who share the load. Small business owners often ride the thrills and chills by themselves. A Solo CEO Board provides knowledgeable, experienced feedback, discussion, problem solving, brainstorming and planning in a confidential environment.

Who are Solo CEOs?

Solo CEOs may be Presidents, Proprietors, Advisors, Managing Directors, Owners, General Managers or other monikers suited to their business.

The distinguishing characteristic of the Solo CEO is someone who carries the full burden for the success of the business or practice; the chief decision maker; someone who is alone at the top.

What are Solo CEO Boards?

Solo CEO Boards are peer groups of up to twelve non-competing small business owners and professionals who meet monthly to share their issues and collective wisdom with each other. Board members advise each other on pressing and topical issues, explore opportunities, engage in problem solving, and review plans and results in an open environment where everyone understands the unique perspectives and needs of a Solo CEO.

Who Runs the Meetings?

Board meetings are facilitated by Doug Edgar, President of Compass Strategies. Doug is a professional facilitator, certified executive coach and strategic planning consultant. Doug’s practice specializes in helping small and medium sized business owners navigate their futures.

Doug meets individually with each member of the Board in advance of monthly meetings to review the member’s business and, where appropriate, ensure that a member’s specific issue is placed on a meeting agenda.

When and Where?

Solo CEO Boards meet monthly for a morning (7:00 am to noon) at an appropriate meeting location. For information on specific board meetings and locations please contact us.
