Executive Sounding Board Services
Why We Created this Program
Being a CEO is a high-stakes game where every move counts, and the pressure can be relentless. It’s often said that the CEO’s chair is the loneliest seat in the room, and that’s no exaggeration. When you’re at the top, finding someone to confide in isn’t just tough – it’s risky. You can’t turn to your team for advice on the most critical or confidential issues, and the board might be a minefield of politics and potential leaks that could undermine the future of your career.
CEOs need a sounding board—someone they can trust completely, who’s been in the trenches, and who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. That’s where Joel Block comes in. With decades of experience as a venture capitalist and hedge fund manager, Joel has been at the helm of over 40 deals and played a pivotal role in more than 100 others. He’s evaluated over 1,000 companies, gaining a level of insight that’s hard to find.
Joel doesn’t sugarcoat. He’s the guy who tells the emperor exactly what he thinks of his clothes. You might not always like what you hear, but that’s the point—his advice is unfiltered, grounded, and aimed at steering you toward the best possible decision. He’s not there to make decisions for you; he’s there to give you the raw truth that you can’t get from anyone else.
Mistakes at the CEO level are costly – sometimes catastrophically so. That’s why having Joel in your corner is invaluable. He offers a fresh, unbiased perspective with no vested interest in the outcome, and he’s there when you need him most. Whether it’s a Sunday morning crisis or a scheduled session, the Executive Sounding Board program ensures you have access to Joel’s expertise whenever you need it.
This program isn’t just about advice; it’s about making sure you’re never alone at the top. Having Joel on speed dial is like having a secret weapon—one that can help you navigate the toughest decisions and come out on top.
What You Get and Your Investment
The pricing for the Executive Sounding Board program is tailored to your needs—because not every CEO’s situation is the same. If you need immediate access to Joel, you’ve got it. If your situation allows for a scheduled session, you can lock in a time on Joel’s calendar, typically the next business day. Our program offers you unlimited access to Joel for the duration of your agreement – not for weekly coaching, not for chit-chat, and not because you’re lonely, but for those moments when you need sharp, decisive input on critical issues. And you can reach out as often as necessary to keep your business on the winning track.
The Bottom Line
You won’t need Joel every day—or even every week—but when you do, it’s going to be crucial. A single call could easily make the entire year’s investment worth it. Think of Joel as an insurance policy for your career and your company’s future—a safeguard against costly mistakes and a strategic advantage when you need it most.
