Accelerate your leadership through navigating
complexity, clarifying direction, strengthening
your network, and building your personal capacity.
Whether you’re seeking to confidentially intersect the unknown future, de-risk big moves, and map a significant transition, or develop the mindsets, skills, and habits needed for personal renewal and long-term organizational effectiveness, the CEO OnBoard program is for you.
CEO OnBoard is a guided, one-on-one executive coaching experience, as well as a facilitated cohort experience designed to help newer CEOs move from transition to traction. This experience equips leaders to clarify direction, align stakeholders, strengthen governance, and execute strategy with confidence, personal margins, and spiritual grounding.
Participants are personally coached while also engaging in a carefully curated peer cohort of fellow CEOs navigating leadership complexity.
“I am deeply appreciative of the Missio Nexus CEO OnBoard experience. Rob’s facilitation was outstanding as he guided us through critical strategic issues that every new CEO encounters while ensuring we were connected to the right people and the right insights at the right time. This program is a highly valuable resource for leaders stepping into executive roles, and I heartily recommend it to any new CEO seeking to accelerate their effectiveness.” Jon Eckstein, CEO/International Director, SEND International(25/26 CEO OnBoard Cohort)
Overview
With high expectations, team dynamics, board relationships, financial oversight, and external representation converging at once, the CEO seat is complex and demanding. This environment is far too often overwhelming and the need to gain insights and applicable wisdom from others outside of your organization is critical.
Missio Nexus is partnering with Rob Wassel, Founder of Tekton Advisory Group, to deliver confidential, one-on-one executive coaching, along with structured cohort interaction. Having worked alongside more than 100 organizations and coached over 200 senior leaders, Rob will coach CEOs to optimize their time, reframe leadership mindsets, and more confidently intersect the unknown future. Along with his unparalleled network of subject matter experts, CEOs will meet top global leaders in innovation, strategy, board governance, leadership, finances, and more.
