CEOInstitute.com celebrates the benefits of peer-to-peer professional groups with its "CEO Syndicate" program for CEOs and Senior Level Executives.

Melbourne, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2014 -- Reporting for the online magazine "ProfessiveImpact.org" is Business Psychologist and psychotherapist Douglas LaBier Ph.D. He sites that, "While most CEOs would like to receive executive coaching, they rarely do. Studies conducted by the Stanford University School of Business found that a full two thirds of those in CEO positions have not received any courses in leadership or coaching to enhance their executive skills."

Dr. Douglas Bier adds, "When such publications as 'Forbes' and 'Bloomberg Business Week' asked them about their responses, nearly one hundred percent of the CEOs polled said that they would enjoy a chance to work on their executive development. They would also welcome the chance to meet with their peers for the purpose of insightful learning and networking opportunities."

Meeting the needs of CEO and executives in upper management positions is The CEO Institute. Spokesperson for The CEO Institute, Kristine Chompff explains how they work with CEOs to reach their professional goals. "We offer a unique business education for those executives already at the time of their respective industries. Our 'CEO Syndicate' program exists as an exclusive group that allows them to network with their peers in the global world of business. Our instructional system offers innovative learning techniques that serve to refine professional development. We accomplish this by experimenting with new learning techniques, as well as utilizing group mentors to help our students excel in their professional and personal directives."

Kristine Chompff elaborates on how this is possible. "At The CEO Institute, we offer a monthly peer group of approximately 16 senior level executives and CEOs. Within the comfort of our learning center, high-level executives from non-competitive companies can meet for courses in such subjects as leadership development, issue solving and to explore areas of mutual knowledge. Often some of the most productive sessions come about when group members have a chance to help each other through mutual support initiatives."

"What makes us different from other management training programs, is how we place our students together for the purposes of learning and networking." Ms. Chompff continues, "The membership we place together for each 'CEO Syndicate' is exceptionally well-matched to the business backgrounds of its members. Our team finds that this is the best way to ensure that the learning environment will be both dynamic and actively stimulating to participants, while confidential enough for the sharing of vital information."

Back in 2000, the average CEO stayed in his or her position for approximately ten years, and the decrease in tenure is due, in large part, to increased intensity in the marketplace along with increased competition.

"Check out the Future CEO Program at The CEO Institute to learn more about how this benefits those being primed for this position. The institute offers scholarship programs to female candidates, with five being awarded in 2015. Each scholarship provides for three years of education, with successful candidates being awarded provisional certification as a certified CEO. This is only one of numerous ways the institute strives to help individuals achieve the desired level of success," Chompff continues.

Others choose to become members of The CEO Institute, as membership offers numerous benefits.

New version of industry-leading executive development course will supply scholarships to Australia's top female business leaders and new perspectives on high level leadership, the CEO Institute report

Melbourne, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/19/2014 -- The CEO Institute, a leading executive coaching and networking service, announced the details of the newest incarnation of the company's Future CEO™ Program. Making use of lessons gleaned from earlier classes, the newest revision of the program will help to facilitate even more fruitful peer-group knowledge sharing and skill boosting. The CEO Institute's Future CEO™ Program is one of the world's only executive development opportunities that can result in a widely recognized certification and has been a great success for the company and executives who have participated in it since its inauguration.

"Just as top executives can never afford to stop learning and growing," CEO Institute representative Tim Matterson said, "we here at the CEO Institute insist upon always pushing ourselves harder. That drive has resulted in a revised version of our Future CEO™ Program that is going to be even more effective at producing the top business leaders of tomorrow." Founded in 1992, the CEO Institute has become one of most eminent sources of business education and networking opportunities for executives from around the world. The company's pioneering CEO Syndicate® Program for the first time allowed high-achieving executives from a variety of industries to meet and grow in productive executive coaching groups led by experienced facilitators.

The insights gathered in that collaborative, dynamic environment led to the unveiling of the CEO Institute's Future CEO™ Program, an industry-first offering that utilizes a similar structure to qualify and develop the leadership skills of top management candidates. Those who successfully complete the course and have the required high-level management experience receive provisional designation as Certified CEOs, an endorsement that is rapidly becoming a sought-after qualification among candidates for the highest positions in the business world. Graduates of the program who go on to even greater success then become fully certified, a recognition that can help to make their future job applications even more compelling and attractive.

In addition to working hard to ensure that the company's Future CEO™ Program meshes well with the busy lives of the executives whom it is aimed at, the CEO Institute also strives to foster accessibility and diversity in other ways. A key feature of the new iteration of the Future CEO™ Program, for example, is the just-announced $125,000 Future CEO™ Scholarship fund, an award that in 2015 will provide three years' worth of tuition to the program for each of five of Australia's most prominent and successful female business leaders. Details about the scholarship and the new version of the CEO Institute's Future CEO™ Program can be found at the company's website.
