Leading is lonely in a way people don’t talk about.
You can’t look uncertain in front of your team. You don’t want to worry your board, your employees, or your family. So you carry the hard stuff by yourself and call it strength.
I did that for years. It didn’t make me stronger. It made me a worse leader.
Here is what I would like to build with you. A small group of eight leaders who come together to be honest about what they’re actually carrying. This isn’t a place to collect generic leadership tips. It’s a place to think better, make better decisions, and talk about the things you can’t say anywhere else.
I’ve been part of groups like this for more than twenty years. They’ve made me a better leader and a less lonely one. But the moments that changed me weren’t the presentations or the advice. They were the moments when someone in the room told me a truth I’d been avoiding. You can’t get that from a newsletter or a podcast.
Here’s how it works. Eight leaders. One room.
We meet by video, so it doesn’t matter where you’re based.
We’ll meet once a month for about two hours, with a private space to continue the conversation between meetings.
The only thing I ask is that you show up ready to contribute. What’s shared in the room stays in the room.
You’ll leave each session with one meaningful commitment and seven people who’ll ask you about it next month.
There are only eight seats, and they’re filled by application. A group like this only works if it’s the right eight people. The first group is forming now with readers I invited directly. There are a few open slots so I am adding it here as invitation to all readers. These will be paid memberships in the future, but this one is on me.
If this feels like what you’ve been missing, I’d love to hear from you. Apply below. I read every application myself, and I’ll let you know either way.
I hope to meet you soon.
