The details.
Commitment
We know your plate is full, and that is exactly why this program can be so valuable. You will have space to unpack complex challenges, reflect on your assumptions, gain new perspective, and see how other leaders approach difficult situations. Most participants find the time commitment, typically less than 1% of working hours, to be some of their most protected and worthwhile time. Because this experience is built on shared participation, it works best when everyone can show up consistently. If you are unsure you will be able to engage fully, it may be better to wait for a future cohort. For CEOSync, if you anticipate missing more than two meetings, we encourage you to consider whether now is the right time to join.
Investment
A high-trust CEO cohort where candid peers make better leaders. Priced by your association's annual budget.

What should I expect?
Meetings are built on sharing, vulnerability, and accountability, all essential for meaningful growth. You will get more than you give, but active participation at every meeting is expected.
Each session runs from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm in the Twin Cities. CEOSync is in-person only with no hybrid or recorded option, as the experience depends on being fully present with the community.
Lunch is provided. Optional breakfasts are offered from 7:30 to 8:30 am on select session days.
What if I lose my job?
Relationship building with leaders you respect and trust is a key part of CEOSync. If you leave your company for any reason, members are not automatically asked to leave. If you still value your participation, we are happy to welcome you to stay.
You don't attend CEOSync.
You belong.
CEOSync cohorts are intentionally small and fill by application. Start the conversation, or explore SyncUp if you lead as a second-in-command.
