 
To support the CEO's and business owners in their leadership
role,
The Corporate L.I.F.E.™
Centre International Inc. (CLCI)
has established a forum called "The Executive Network"
(TEN™) which acts as a peer advisory group and networking
association.
TEN™ offers members the unique opportunity to step back from
day-to-day business pressures, take a more global perspective
and focus on the critical issues of running their business. TEN
members meet monthly in a Board Room environment to discuss key
business issues in a constructive and highly interactive way,
sharing ideas and personal experiences for the benefit of the
group.
TEN™ meetings enable members to provide and receive invaluable
feedback from a diverse group of business owners belonging to a
wide variety of industries. The members in the group develop a
good understanding of each others business and key challenges
being faced by them. Members are encouraged to review their
strategic and business plans with their peers who provide
invaluable perspective and insight.
TEN™ members within the group are non-competing and ensure
complete confidentiality of all discussions. They accept and
demonstrate the same core values as their peers with integrity
governing all actions.
CLCI regularly invites outside business experts to these meeting
to present the latest thinking, tools and techniques needed to
run the businesses. These experts discuss fresh perspectives and
new ideas that help members solve problems, explore new
opportunities and implement positive change in their
organizations.
CLCI conducts an initial one-on-one session with each member to
understand key business issues and needs of the organization.
This is followed by an organizational assessment to identify
gaps in the strategy, design and culture of the organization and
provide solutions for strategic business improvement.
