What CEOs Say About CEO-S Programs

These programs have transformed how CEOs lead and deliver results.

I have spent 30 years operating, studying, and coaching businesses, and this is the first complete system I have seen for the CEO and executive team. As a coach for young or first-time CEOs, I now have a tool for them to get the whole picture and a way to step incrementally into this role as they and their companies grow.

Ryan Martens

Mentor, Techstars; former Chief Technology Officer, Rally Software

This was a very important and impactful experience for myself as a CEO and for my executive team. It has been life-changing and is setting us up for much success. I recommend these courses to all executive leadership looking to go to the next level!

What Joel and Sherif have assembled in CEO-S is remarkably salient to the modern CEO. What CEO-S offers in terms of unlocking potential within teams, CEO-S has the ability to unlock within the CEO position itself, which is perhaps even more critical. The system is powerfully simple, and simply powerful. It's a toolkit that can benefit both the newly-minted and veteran leader.
