About

CEO Peer Mentoring is ideal for business owners, senior leaders, and CEOs. This program will give you support in all facets of your business in a safe and confidential environment.

What is peer mentoring?

The Chamber’s peer mentoring program is designed to create a supportive and confidential environment for business leaders. Participants share challenges and learning with help and insights from peers.

Our Peer Mentoring program gives you a personal sounding board to solve problems, enhance business processes, strengthen strategy and encourage innovation. In a confidential setting, you can celebrate the wins, sometimes vent about the hard stuff, and generally be supported by fellow career-focused thinkers who are dealing with the same tough challenges as you.

We aim to enhance and develop key management, supervisory and leadership skills through workshops and subject matter experts alongside the peer learning process.

The CEO Peer Group will be receiving training in a range of essential executive skills. The skills that will be covered over 12 months (4 hours per month) in this program are:

• Problem solving: Recognizing and solving problems
• Time Management: Allocating time and using it effectively
• Planning: Providing directions and scheduling activities
• Goal Setting: Establishing goals and objectives
• Performance Leadership: Motivating performance and personal development
• Organizing: Assigning responsibilities and coordinating tasks
• Team Development: Promoting teamwork and cooperation
• Delegation: Decentralizing and empowering others
