According to Apollo Technical, almost 60% of leaders like you report feeling worn out at the end of each day, which is one of the red flags on the way to burnout. At Griffin Executive Group, we know the feeling! That’s why we’ve jumped into the game-changing world of peer advisory – your secret sauce for leveling up your leadership skills and avoiding burnout for you and your team.
What’s the Scoop on Peer Advisory Groups?
Let’s start by demystifying peer advisory. It’s like having a personalized playbook to amp up your leadership skills – which is a little bit different than a networking group. Peer advisory groups are a space for executives to come together and reference each other’s insights and experiences to learn and grow. Think of it as your VIP pass to leadership greatness.
Unlike a traditional networking group, a peer advisory group offers more than just surface-level professional connections: it’s designed to be your sounding board for more successful business leadership. It goes beyond the exchange of business cards and into the nitty-gritty, messy day-to-day of business ownership and leadership. Picture it as a confidential and exclusive meeting of the perfect local professional peers for you. The benefits? Better communication skills, increased camaraderie among your team, and overall shaping you into the best leader you can be…but that’s not all. Keep reading to get the full scoop.

“I love being part of a peer advisory group. I’ve found them to be rewarding in many ways: getting to learn from professionals who have different backgrounds and therefore different perspectives on challenging topics and the chance to share my experiences and knowledge to provide a perspective that may help others with their situations and the unplanned, but most beneficial is creating friendships with like-minded professionals.”
