CEO Peer Learning
Populating the World with Inspiring Leaders
MacKay CEO Forums is built on the belief that better leaders make better decisions when they learn with peers who truly understand the role.
CEO peer learning brings together small groups of CEOs and senior executives in confidential, professionally facilitated forums. These peer groups provide a trusted environment where leaders can step out of isolation, think strategically, and work through real business and leadership challenges with people who face similar complexity and accountability.
Each forum is led by an experienced Chair who ensures discussions are focused, balanced, and practical. Members learn from one another’s experience, challenge assumptions, and gain perspective that is difficult to find inside their own organizations.

The Talent Advantage
Businesses are used to competing for market share, inexpensive labor, and time-to-market, but today's biggest competition among top firms may be the war for top talent. Today's best organizations are reaching across traditional geopolitical and cultural boundaries to attract and retain the best and brightest workers. In The Talent Advantage, authors Weiss and MacKay tap into their long experience as experts in talent recruitment and retainment to explain why today's business leaders must take firm control of the talent hunting process to ensure great hires. Here, they show leaders exactly how to do that.
The Modern Trusted Advisor
Whether in business, sports, entertainment, academia, or politics-expert help is a fundamental enabler of success.

This isn't a matter of "certificates" and "universities," it's a matter of specific skill and behavioral sets that create a trusting bond and reliance. Trusted advisors are beyond coaches-they are comprehensive resources and supporters.
The Modern Trusted Advisor employs important mastery traits, such as subordinating ego, applying shared experiences, and managing emotional, mental, and intellectual health. We are entering a world of "no normal" today and leaders must inspire others daily.
