In Your Corner
The more successful you become, the fewer people will tell you the truth.
That's why you need the right people in your corner. It's lonely at the top.
You've built something real.
You've got revenue, a team, and real responsibility. But at your level, honest feedback is rare. Advisors tell you what you want to hear. Employees protect their jobs. And the loneliness at the top is real — even if you'd never admit it.
That's not a weakness. That's the cost of leadership. And it's exactly what Rod Thurley built his work around.
Not Every Leader Is a Fit
Rod works with a small number of CEOs, founders, and business owners. Here's who belongs in the room:
- You're responsible for real decisions and real people
- You're open to being challenged — not just validated
- You're willing to be honest about what's not working
- You want to grow — not just maintain
What Rod Does
Three ways to work together. One purpose: make you a better leader.
Vistage CEO Peer Groups
The Room
A monthly full-day peer advisory session for non-competing CEOs and business owners in Middle Tennessee. Members receive personalized one-on-one coaching between sessions. Vistage member companies grow at 2.2× the rate of non-member peers. Average member tenure is nearly seven years.
Private Executive Coaching
One on One
A private coaching partnership with limited availability. Two 60-90 miunte coaching sessions around insight each month and two annual deep-strategy sessions of three to five hours each. Investment is $50,000 per year. Designed for CEOs ready to grow with intensity and lead with clarity.
Executive Adventure Experiences
Sherpa Outings
Small-group off-grid leadership experiences for four to six executives. Off-road motorcycles, fly fishing, and bow hunting. Designed to produce the kind of honest, high-trust conversation that doesn't happen in a conference room.
Meeting Facilitation
Drive Outcomes
Most facilitators manage meetings. Rod drives outcomes. He forces clarity, challenges assumptions, and holds leaders accountable in real time. Every session ends with sharper decisions, clear direction, and measurable next steps.
Hear From Members of the Group
Hear why they’re here—and the conversations they have about leadership, peer advisory, and what it really takes to grow.
