Being a CEO can be isolating, especially when you’re committed to using business as a force for good. This workshop introduces MO CEO Peer Circles—confidential, facilitated groups of 6-8 impact-focused CEOs who meet regularly to support each other’s personal and professional growth. Learn how peer circles provide the deep self-exploration, collective wisdom, and accountability that transforms both you as a leader and your company’s impact.
For positive impact companies, purpose isn’t a marketing tagline—it’s the DNA that must flow through culture and radiate through brand. This workshop explores how the most successful impact CEOs create alignment between what they stand for, how their teams live it daily, and how the market perceives them. When purpose, brand, and culture reinforce each other, they don’t just coexist—they compound into a competitive moat that attracts talent, customers, and capital while making your mission nearly impossible to replicate.
As impact CEOs plan for succession, the question isn’t just who takes over—it’s whether your mission will endure. Employee trusts, perpetual purpose trusts, and ESOPs offer a powerful path to lock in your company’s values. This workshop explores how this exit strategies preserve mission, creates enduring benefits to key stakeholders, and ensure your legacy of positive impact outlasts your tenure at the helm.
When a founder hands off leadership, the incoming CEO inherits more than operations—they inherit the soul of the company. This workshop explores the unique challenges and opportunities facing CEOs who step into founder-led impact businesses. How do you honor the founder’s vision while bringing your own leadership to scale the mission? What does it take to maintain culture, sustain stakeholder trust, and navigate the inevitable tension between continuity and evolution? Join fellow mission-driven CEOs who’ve successfully taken the torch to discuss the art of stewardship, the courage required to make it your own, and how to ensure the mission not only survives but thrives under new leadership.
Many CEOs wait until they’re approached by buyers to assemble their advisory team, but the most successful exits begin years earlier.

Learn how an informal board of aligned advisors can help you navigate tax strategies, legal structures, and wealth preservation while staying true to what matters most to you. Discover the questions to ask potential advisors to ensure they understand your vision for life after exit.
