Are you Feeling Stuck?

OR

Concerned Your Winning Streak is at an end?

Every CEO hits plateaus along the journey or is called upon to alter the company’s strategy. Surround yourself with peers who will see things differently and drive you to a new level of thinking.

“I figured out early in my career that peer-to-peer wisdom is a game-changer. So I joined groups like EO, YPO, Vistage and Strategic coach. Unfortunately some were absolute goat rodeos. Poorly managed, uninformative and full of members who took too much and offered too little. I am way too busy to waste a day in a bitch session followed by a cocktail party. Flourish Advisory Boards are the way to growth.”

The Advisory Board Assessment

Six Types of CEO Genius

Diversity of Thought Gives you the Magic Fit

After working with fortune 500 CEOs for over 32 years, we noticed the most effective executive teams were driven by leaders capable of six different types of critical thinking. This level of executive team is rare and difficult to find. This is why we test each of our members with the Kolbe Assessment to identify their CEO Superpower and curate a diverse and balanced advisory board for you.

Peer-to-Peer CEO Guidance

Because of this, every conversation contains the appropriate blend of empathy, experience and eventually, eureka moments.

Find out Which of the 6 CEO Seats Best Suits Your Genius.

Our moderators use the Kolbe test and your CV to determine which Flourish Advisory Board seat is the most natural fit for you.

Once we have your result, you will receive:

– A free assessment of your key strengths and blindspots,
– A short list of the most common successes and failures of CEOs like you.
– A determination of whether there is an available Flourish seat for your genius type

Climb to the NEXT LEVEL of Leadership

Most CEO’s have one or two issues that they’ve been unable to figure out for years.

Ironically, these issues are usually the result of your zone of genius and the blind spots that accompany it. Once you are able to view your most difficult challenges through six different lenses of thinking, you will see new possibilities AND be surrounded by experts who can make those possibilities a reality.

When I joined Flourish I was in a slump that had lasted too long. A year and a half later, my business is thriving. I wish I had found this group sooner. I find myself looking forward to our next meeting.

Flourish Advisory Boards FAQs

You need a learner’s mindset and to be willing to give as much as you get from the advisory board.

See our values and visit the outcomes other advisory board members have achieved.

Our advisory boards meet 9 times each year virtually and 1 time each year in person. We take two months off each year to spend with our friends and families.
Each virtual meeting is 4 hours. We start with personal and professional wins and successes. We always hear from a guru and spend time asking them questions. And then we take time for hot seats to discuss urgent member opportunities.
Each in-person event is 1.5 days where we spend time recharging, building one another up, and preparing for our next level of business.

Changing the trajectory of a business takes time. While most participants see dramatic gains in their first 90 days of attending a Flourish Advisory Board, plan for at least 12 months to experience transformation.
