Your Exit is Our Only Focus.
The Transition Lab is built for one purpose: preparing you personally, emotionally, and strategically for what’s next.
Shared Understanding
Relevant Insights
Real Empathy
Stepping away is its own game.
Most CEO Groups Help You Grow the Business.
We help you design what’s next—addressing the personal readiness other programs overlook, and giving you a clear path into your future.
What Sets Us Apart:
Focused conversations on the personal side of exit
Peers in the same life and business chapter
A structured process that accelerates clarity
Tools to navigate identity and emotional readiness
Insights grounded in real founder experience
A clear roadmap for your next chapter
THE FTL DIFFERENCE
| Typical CEO Peer Group | Founder's Transition Lab |
|---|---|
| Broad focus: covers growth, operations, sales, hiring, leadership. | Single focus: preparing you personally for your business exit—emotionally, relationally, and strategically. |
| Members are at all stages of business ownership. | All members are in the exit chapter—facing similar questions about identity, timing, and legacy. |
| Primary goal: run a better business. | Primary goal: design a next chapter so compelling you can’t wait to pursue it. |
| Meetings cover a variety of business challenges, not necessarily related to transition. | Every session is structured to move you closer to your personal and emotional readiness to exit. |
| Ongoing, open-ended membership. | Time-bound program that accelerates clarity and action—saving years of delay. |
| Larger groups (often 12–20 members). | Small, curated cohorts (6–8 members), matched by readiness stage and mindset. |
| Peer advice based on general business experience. | Peer dialogue supported by proven frameworks: Energy Leadership™, Circles of Awareness, and 10 COR.E Disciplines. |
| Improvements may be incremental and broad. | Outcomes are tangible and personal: a documented Readiness Roadmap, strengthened relationships, and clear exit criteria. |
CEO Peer Group vs. Founders Transition Lab
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT’s DIFFERENT IN THE LAB
-
While most CEO peer groups focus on business growth and operational strategy, the Founders Transition Lab is built specifically for owners in the exit chapter. We focus on personal readiness—identity, emotional attachment, clarity of vision—because that’s where most founders get stuck.
-
Purpose-built for transition – We help you design your life beyond the business, not just improve it.
Accelerated clarity – Our structured, time-bound program can save years of spinning your wheels by moving you from uncertainty to action now.
Curated cohorts – Small, non-competing groups matched by readiness stage and mindset for highly relevant, peer-driven insight.
Proven mindset tools – We integrate the Energy Leadership™ framework, Circles of Awareness, and the 10 COR.E Disciplines to help you shift from a Protective or Coping mindset into an Empowered state.
Tangible outcomes – You leave with a documented Readiness Roadmap, strengthened relationships, and a clear definition of a successful, meaningful exit.
-
Probably not. Traditional groups keep their focus broad—covering hiring, sales, marketing, operations—because members are at different business stages. The Founder’s Transition Lab is laser-focused on the personal, relational, and emotional side of preparing for your exit, and all members are in that same chapter. The conversations, exercises, and peer accountability are designed specifically for that life inflection point.
