CEOSync & SyncUp Leadership Cohorts
CEOSync
We know your plate is full — and that’s exactly why this program can be so valuable. You’ll 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’re unsure you’ll 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.
SyncUp
We know your plate is full — and that’s exactly why this program can be so valuable.

Participants consistently say the time commitment, typically less than 1% of working hours, is well worth the investment. Because this experience relies on collective participation, it works best when everyone can engage consistently. If you’re unsure you’ll be able to fully participate, it may be better to join a future cohort.
