BUSINESSOUTSIDE FORUM
How can inspiring leaders achieve more?
BusinessOutside Forum unites growth-oriented executives and business owners to tackle their toughest problems, surface new opportunities, expand their worldviews, and achieve more together.
WHY FORUM
Where radical self-inquiry meets shared experience.
By building a lasting space rooted in confidentiality, trust, vulnerability, and a genuine eagerness to share, Forum helps leaders better actualize their skills and personality through their vision and their collaboration with others. Throughout the journey, members experience:
- Connect Monthly Forum sessions and purposeful collisions that build new connections, knowledge, and opportunity.
- Gather Two offsites each year, including an Innovation Summit where industry leaders and emerging companies come together far beyond outdated corporate norms.
- Grow Personal and professional development tools to keep performing at your highest.
"It's like having my own personal board of directors."

WHO IT’S FOR
Forum is a small room
by design.
We build each forum by hand, matched on scale, stage, and fit. Most members come from one of three groups.
CEO Forum
Sitting CEOs of large, established companies. Cross-industry, peer to peer at the very top.
Executive Forum
Presidents, GMs, and senior executives. Often grouped by industry, so the people across the table know your market.
Leadership Forum
Rising leaders on a clear path to the C-suite, building the relationships and judgment to get there.
"The best two-hour meeting I have every month."
Howard Fried, President & Founder, Digital Optometrics

Membership begins with a conversation. Tell us where you lead, and we'll be in touch about the right fit.
“I always leave Forum as a better version of myself.”
“I joined in the hardest year I've had as a leader, and for the first time I sat with people who understood exactly what I was carrying. They listened, they were honest with me, and they stayed in it with me. I went back to work steadier, clearer, and more sure of myself than I'd been in a long time.”
“I felt so welcomed by an incredibly sharp, thoughtful group of executives. Proud of both the emerging companies and big players for leading the way on accelerating the inevitable.”
IN PRACTICE

-
Learn from peers
Draw on executives who have already done it.
