What is Leading for Shared Prosperity?

A Different Starting Point for Founder-Owners

 

Most business succession planning programs start with exit structures. We start with YOU.


Leading for Shared Prosperity is a 10-week, high-trust cohort experience for founder-owners ready to slow down, get clear, and intentionally design what comes next—for themselves, their families, and their companies.


Rather than prescribing a single “right” outcome, this executive leadership program helps founder-owners build emotional readiness, personal and financial clarity, and the enterprise architecture that makes multiple future transition paths possible.


By the end of the program, founder-owners will have the clarity, readiness, and practical roadmap to intentionally steward their business from a founder-dependent job into a transferable asset—on their own terms and on their own timeline.

Who This Is For

This program is designed for founder-owners of privately held companies who:

  • Generate $2M–$15M in annual revenue

  • Employ approximately 10–100 people

  • Are actively planning for growth, succession, sale, or ownership transition

  • Want to protect what they’ve built—including jobs, culture, and community impact 

  • Feel underserved by traditional executive education or one-size-fits-all exit planning

 

Participants explore multiple ownership and transition paths—including internal succession, family transfer, employee ownership, third-party sale, and stewardship models—without a prescribed outcome.

 

Cohorts are intentionally curated for trust and candor, with no direct competitors in the room.
