CEO Advisory and SparringA peer to pressure-test your decisions
Before you make the call, put your decision in front of a former CEO: a sparring partner in your corner who pressure-tests it with you. Confidential, nothing written up, no minimum term.
CEOs facing a decision that commits the company.
On demand, remote or in person, no membership.
Your assumptions tested, your blind spots named, your options clarified.
The Flash Read, thirty minutes on a decision you are working through.
The decisions we work on
A sale, a succession, or bringing in an investor.
A major investment or an acquisition.
A reorganization, or the departure of a key executive.
Hiring a CEO or bringing in a partner.
Negotiating with banks or shareholders.
How it works
- A fifteen-minute call to understand the decision.
- A thirty-minute Flash Read: three signals and one blind spot. No slides, no obligation to continue.
- If you find it useful, one-off sessions on your next decisions.
Why an outside view
Only 25% of male CEOs and 24% of female CEOs consult a strategy committee or a board before making a decision. That is the finding of a 2022 study of 1,160 leaders of small, midsize and mid-market companies, conducted by Bpifrance Le Lab and Femmes Chefs d’Entreprises.
What this is not
- Not personal coaching. We work on the decision, not on you.
- Not a CEO peer group. You talk to one person, not twenty.
- Not a consulting engagement with a report. No write-up, no record.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a coach or a CEO peer group?
A coach works on the person; a peer group shares experiences. We work on one specific decision, with its numbers, alongside someone who has run a company.
How much of my time does it take?
A Flash Read takes thirty minutes. After that, you call on us when a decision warrants it.
What happens to what I tell you?
Nothing leaves the conversation. No write-up, no record, complete confidentiality.
Is a decision on your mind right now?
Peter Guillon will call you back within 8 business hours.
