At Rise Up, we believe no leader should go alone. That’s why we create intentional communities where business owners and advisors can rise together. We know the truth is that we are better together.
As a MacKay CEO Forums Chair, I lead confidential peer groups of high-performing Business Owner CEOs, creating an environment where leaders learn from one another and grow together. By harnessing the power of peer-based learning, I facilitate dynamic discussions that enable CEOs to address real-world challenges, exchange insights, and inspire each other to achieve their goals.
This unique approach encourages authentic connections, fosters innovative thinking, and helps leaders unlock their full potential in both business and life.
Peer Learning – These aren’t just business improvements—they’re freedom enablers. When these drivers are strong, you can scale, sell, or step back—on your terms.
Leadership Growth – Set bold goals, enhance time mastery, and stay accountable to continuous improvement.
Advisor Access – Leverage access to market leading experts in every domain of professional services.

If you want to go far, go together.”
