Job description

Founder & CEO at Leading Peers | Fueling CEO growth through high-trust collaboration and strategic peer groups

Leading Peers is seeking experienced Board Leaders based in Florida to facilitate CEO peer advisory boards across the state. This role is ideal for seasoned CEOs, consultants, coaches, or advisors who believe deeply in the power of peer accountability and want to lead at scale.

As a Board Leader, you will facilitate and lead multiple peer advisory boards made up of growth-minded business owners and CEOs. Your role is to create a trusted, structured environment—primarily in person and occasionally online—where leaders think clearly, challenge one another, hold each other accountable, and follow through on the commitments they make.

Board Leaders typically lead between four and twelve boards simultaneously, leveraging group facilitation and peer-driven accountability rather than one-on-one coaching.

Geographic & Format Requirements

• This role is open only to candidates based in Florida
• Leading Peers currently operates multiple active boards in South Florida and Central Florida
• North Florida is launching soon
• The vast majority of boards operate in person
• Board Leaders must be willing and able to lead both in-person and virtual boards
• Leading Peers is not seeking Board Leaders who only want to lead online boards or only want to lead in-person boards

Minimum Qualifications

• Exceptional listening, facilitation, and group-dynamics skills
• Ability to synthesize complex business situations and communicate insight clearly and concisely
• Firsthand experience as a business owner or CEO
• Currently active as a business consultant, trainer, or executive coach
• Experience leading teams within a growing organization
• Strong passion for helping CEOs grow as leaders
• High emotional intelligence, discretion, and professional judgment

Preferred Background

• Leadership experience across multiple businesses and/or industries
• Five or more years as CEO of a company with annual revenues of at least $1M

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate a monthly, 3.5-hour CEO peer board meeting for up to eight members, primarily in person, following Leading Peers’ proven methodology
• Guide peer-to-peer dialogue around business growth, leadership challenges, and strategic decision-making
• Establish and reinforce peer accountability by helping members clearly define priorities, commitments, and next actions, and by ensuring follow-up in subsequent meetings
• Maintain a safe, confidential, and high-trust environment where senior leaders can challenge one another constructively
• Support the growth of your boards by helping recruit and onboard qualified new members
• Coordinate and conduct candidate interviews in collaboration with your peer boards
• Receive training and ongoing support on how to start new boards and recruit, onboard, and retain members in order to maximize autonomy, impact, and long-term income as a Board Leader

Note: This role focuses on facilitating group dialogue and peer accountability. It does not require providing one-on-one coaching or consulting to board members.

• Board Leaders may continue to provide coaching, consulting, training, speaking, and other professional services outside of Leading Peers
• The Board Leader agreement includes an exclusivity requirement only for peer group facilitation
• Board Leaders may not facilitate, lead, or operate other CEO or peer advisory groups outside of Leading Peers during their engagement
• This exclusivity is limited specifically to peer group facilitation and does not restrict other advisory, coaching, or professional services
• Approximately four hours per month, per board
• Willingness to travel locally within Florida for in-person board meetings, with travel typically under 30 minutes and no more than one hour each way
• Access to the following tools and equipment:
• Notebook or laptop computer
• Smartphone
• HDMI cable
• $1,000–$1,200 per monthly board meeting, based on board size:
• 3–5 members: $1,000
• 6 members: $1,050
• 7 members: $1,100
• 8 members: $1,200
• Opportunity to lead between four and twelve boards simultaneously
• Training, systems, and support designed to help Board Leaders grow their boards intentionally and sustainably, increasing autonomy, impact, and earning potential over time
• Additional opportunities to advise and support Leading Peers members beyond board meetings

Who This Role Is Not For

This role is not a fit if:

• You are primarily seeking to build a one-on-one coaching or consulting practice centered on peer groups
• You are uncomfortable holding senior leaders accountable in a respectful, structured setting
• You are looking for a short-term or ad-hoc engagement rather than a scalable, long-term role
• You only want to lead online boards or only want to lead in-person boards

Who Thrives in This Role

You are likely to thrive if you:

• Enjoy facilitating high-trust, high-impact conversations, especially in person
• Are energized by helping CEOs gain clarity, make better decisions, and follow through
• Think in terms of leverage and scale, and are excited to build and lead multiple boards
• Believe in peer accountability as a powerful driver of growth
• Are confident guiding experienced CEOs while remaining curious, neutral, and non-directive
• Value structure, preparation, and consistency, and appreciate a proven methodology
• Want to create meaningful impact while still maintaining other professional work outside of peer facilitation
