At the highest levels of leadership, the phrase “it’s lonely at the top” isn’t a cliché—it’s an operational reality. Founders, owners, and C-suite executives regularly face complex decisions regarding capital allocation, restructuring, and strategic shifts that they simply cannot process with their subordinates or boards. While executive coaching and traditional networking offer partial solutions, a growing number of leaders are turning to virtual executive peer groups—structured, high-trust mastermind cohorts that meet digitally—to sharpen their strategy and safeguard their decision-making.
Owner/Executive Peer Groups are approximately 10 individuals and participants are matched to avoid any conflict of interest. Meetings are performed once every other month for one hour allowing owners and executives to discuss a wide range of topics. All discussions are confidential, none of the meetings are not recorded and groups are created for the long-term growth of those participating. Best of all, it is free for Printing Industry Midwest (PIM) member owners and employees in good standing.
