February CEO Club meeting a success!
Carter Brown’s presentation on Strategy Refresh as a CEO was very well received! Mr. Brown laid out the scenario from his recent CEO assignment then challenged the audience to identify the various strategies considered and employed to maximize the company’s value, profitability, and sustainability. The dialogue was energizing…and the solutions he employed were surprising. We all learned valuable strategy lessons in the process.
The introductions were as always educational and helpful. We had a several new faces and backgrounds, as well as active attendees and CEO Club members recommitting to attendance in 2014.
Be sure to calendar in March 11th, when Dean Karnazes (The “Fittest Man on the Planet!”) joins us to discuss his career switch from corporate business to famous ultra-marathoner, and similarities in what is required for success. Dean is an athlete, best-selling author, business man, globallysought-after speaker, and lives in San Francisco. He has run marathons on every continent, run literally across America, competed in the harshest deserts, and run 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states.
