For CEOs and Senior Operators - 25 Seats Only
Leadership
Under
Pressure

This is a closed-room conversation for CEOs and senior operators who carry real decision-making weight. Not a lecture. Not a networking mixer. You bring a live leadership challenge. You leave with clarity, direction, and a room full of peers who operate at your level. Twenty-five seats. One night. The kind of conversation most executives never get access to.

When Good Leaders
Break
Under Pressure

THE CHALLENGE

Pressure is not optional in leadership. Markets shift overnight. Teams fracture at the worst moments. Boards demand answers you don't yet have. The question isn't whether you'll face high-pressure moments - it's whether your leadership will hold.

Most leadership development programs teach you how to lead in calm conditions. Very few teach you how to make clear-headed, decisive, high-stakes decisions when everything is on the line.

That's exactly what this evening is designed to do. Led by Shelley Majors of Boardwalk Human Resources and featuring a keynote from global authority Jeffrey Hayzlett, Leadership Under Pressure is the rare event built specifically for leaders who operate at the edge.


Why This Event
Over Others

There are a lot of events competing for your calendar. Most of them are networking mixers dressed up as leadership experiences. This is not that. This is a closed room for CEOs and senior operators with real decision ownership - experienced leaders who've been there, done that, and know the difference between a good conversation and a useful one. Here's what makes this different.

01
The Room

Every seat is occupied by a CEO or senior operator with real decision ownership. No vendors. No observers. No one pitching you something over dinner. These are experienced, been-there-done-that leaders who carry the same weight you do - and who are willing to talk about it honestly. You're not networking up or down. You're sitting with peers operating at your level.

02
The Access

Jeffrey Hayzlett doesn't do intimate. Except here. With only 25 seats, you're not watching him from a conference hall - you're at the same table. The roundtable format means you get direct, unfiltered engagement with one of the most respected voices in executive leadership today.

03
The Outcome

You don't leave with a notebook full of inspiration you'll never act on. You bring a real leadership challenge. The room works on it. You leave with clarity and direction - and a perspective that only comes from executives who've faced the same problems at the same level.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

Outcomes That Stay With You
Long After the Evening Ends

01
A Pressure-Tested Decision Framework
Learn a replicable process for making clear, confident decisions when time is short, stakes are high, and information is incomplete. Stop second-guessing when it counts most.
02
Unfiltered Peer Intelligence
Engage in honest, off-the-record conversation with other senior executives navigating the same terrain. The kind of candid dialogue that only happens in a room this small and this trusted.
03
The Psychology of High-Stakes Leadership
Understand what separates leaders who elevate under pressure from those who shrink. Walk away with the mindset tools to consistently perform at your best when it matters most.
04
Strategies Straight from the C-Suite™
Jeffrey Hayzlett draws from decades at the highest levels of global business to share the real strategies elite leaders use - the kind that never make it into the books.
05
A Human Resources Advantage
Shelley Majors brings deep expertise in organizational leadership and people strategy to help you harness your team's full potential - even when pressure is high and morale is tested.
06
A Network Worth Having
Every person in that room is there by design. Leave with new relationships among DFW's most accomplished senior leaders - the kind of network that opens doors for years to come.
