A high-level peer environment for those responsible for the "How"
The Bridge Between Strategy and Execution
This group is specifically curated for C-Level executives (CFOs, COOs, CMOs) and high-growth business owners who are currently scaling toward the CEO Group requirements.
We address some of the most common founder pain points:
Founder Isolation: “It’s lonely at the top. Get a confidential sounding board who understands the weight of your cap table and your vision.”
Leadership at Scale: “Learn to lead leaders. We help you build a culture of accountability as your headcount doubles.”
Sustainable Growth: “Balance aggressive scaling with personal well-being to avoid the burnout that kills 20% of startups.”
4-hour problem-solving and local San Diego expertise
How our Executive Key Group Works
The Executive Key Group meets monthly for a concentrated 4-hour session focused on the unique challenges of high-level management. Using our proven issue-processing methodology, members move past surface-level updates to tackle the root causes of organizational friction.
Every meeting is dedicated to solving the actual, high-stakes challenges currently being faced by the members
Like the CEO group, occasionally Key Group sessions include a dedicated deep-dive into a specific dimension of leadership.
Members gain a 360-degree view of how a high-performing organization should function.
One-on-One Coaching
The Master Practitioner Advantage
Unlike traditional facilitators, Joe Phillips is a Master Practitioner specializing in Emotional Intelligence (EQ). We don’t just talk about EBITDA; we solve the human friction that slows down scaling. A high-IQ strategy will fail without a high-EQ leadership team.
In addition to the monthly group session, members can receive optional private, San Diego Executive Coaching with Joe each month. These sessions are designed to go deeper into your personal leadership bottlenecks, refine your strategic vision, and ensure you are executing the commitments made to your peer group.
