Overview
Missio Nexus seeks to walk alongside leaders who have been in their role five-years or less. Our desire is to assist these CEOs in their adjustment to the new role, new team and perhaps new organization. Leaders will be engaged both one-on-one by our Onboard Coach and will also have the opportunity to interact as a group with other CEOs who are in similar positions.
Goals
- Create smooth transitions from the previous CEOs
- Encourage CEOs to be Spirit led learners, team builders, and consensus builders
- Assist CEOs with time management and spiritual development
- Help new CEOs work together as a cohort to learn, ideate and innovate
- Assist CEOs in building strong relationships with board members
Learning peer-to-peer from mutual challenges was a joy. Deepening relationship that allowed for mutual interaction outside of class time.

Structure
The Onboard program will launch each year with a new class of CEOs at the Missio Nexus Annual Mission Leaders Conference. Participants will be expected to attend the fall conference and specific time will be utilized in the schedule for the new group to interact with the Onboard Coach and as a group. Following the conference, the individual CEOs will have the opportunity to interact via phone, email and through an online virtual cohort group with each other and the Onboard Coach. About half-way through the year the Onboard Coach will personally visit with the CEO at their headquarters for a one-day deep dive. The 9-month program will conclude in June after the Missio Nexus Annual Peer-to-Peer CEO retreat. At this event CEOs will have the opportunity to interact with a wider group of CEOs from many different mission organizations and conclude their mentoring.
