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

This is not another executive dinner or speaker event.

The CEO Insiders Roundtable is a curated room of CEOs and senior operators leading through pressure, complexity, and change.

This evening gains you access to the conversations leaders rarely get in the right room: what peers are seeing, where they are exposed, what they are preparing for, and which decisions cannot wait.

With only 25 seats, every person is there for a reason. The value is the caliber of the room, the candor of the exchange, and the chance to hear what serious operators are already building their playbooks around.

THE PRESSURE

Bigger Decisions.
Less Visibility.
Higher Stakes.

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.


The Room You Cannot
Assemble Yourself

Participants are not simply reserving a seat at dinner.

They are investing in access to a room they cannot assemble themselves: CEOs, founders, owners, and senior operators carrying real decision responsibility inside $25M plus companies.

Every seat is intentional. Every conversation is designed to be relevant. Every leader in the room adds value to the exchange.

01
The Caliber of the Room

A room like this only works when every seat strengthens the conversation. This evening is curated for CEOs, founders, owners, and senior operators carrying real decision responsibility, so the exchange stays relevant, candid, and worth the time away from the business.

02
Peer Intelligence

Hear what other serious operators are seeing, testing, questioning, and preparing for across AI, cyber risk, growth, workforce instability, margin pressure, succession, and execution. This is insight you do not get from a webinar, article, conference hall, or standard executive event.

03
Guided Executive Conversations

Jeffrey Hayzlett brings the Adapt or Die perspective and helps guide the room through the questions CEOs cannot afford to treat as theory. Focused expert briefings add practical context, but the evening is built for exchange, live questions, and discussion shaped by the leaders in the room.

STRATEGIC CLARITY

Outcomes That Stay With You
Long After the Evening Ends

01
A Pressure Tested Decision Framework
What are other CEOs preparing for?
A clearer view of what serious operators are already watching, testing, and changing.
02
Unfiltered Peer Intelligence
Where am I exposed?
A sharper read on pressure points that may not be visible yet in your numbers, people, risk profile, or boardroom.
03
The Psychology of High Stakes Leadership
What decisions cannot wait?
Better clarity on which conversations need to move from "later" to "now."
04
Strategies Straight from the C Suite
What should I bring back to my leadership team?
Stronger questions, practical benchmarks, and next steps you can use immediately.
05
A Human Resources Advantage
Who should I stay close to?
Relationships with leaders whose perspective may matter beyond the evening.
06
A Network Worth Having
What will I say when my board asks?
A better answer to "what are other leaders like us doing?"
