Lead Your Business Into Its Next Chapter—Without Losing What Matters
A 10-week executive leadership program for founder-owners of $2M–$15M privately held companies who are navigating growth, succession, or ownership transition—and want real options for what comes next.
What is Leading for Shared Prosperity?
Leading for Shared Prosperity is a 10-week, cohort-based executive leadership program for founder-owners of privately held companies navigating growth, succession, or ownership transition.
The program starts from a simple reality: you took the risk, built the enterprise, and created something valuable, but you are not your business. A company becomes a true asset when it has value beyond the labor of the founder, and stewarding that asset requires intentional design.
Rather than focusing on personal leadership skills alone, this program develops founder-owners as system architects by helping them redesign ownership, governance, incentives, and strategy so their business can endure, perform, and grow beyond them.
Participants leave with a clear, implementation-ready roadmap to guide the next chapter of their company and align long-term financial success with shared prosperity.

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.
