1:1 Executive Coaching

Monthly 1:1 coaching for CEO’s and owners can keep you accountable and on track to achieve your goals.

This is no time for you to go it alone!

As the leader of your organization, you know how lonely it is at the top. Sure, you may have an advisory board or leadership team, but everyone wants something from you. They have their own narrow agendas and they don’t understand the broad complexity of the decisions you’re responsible for.

But peers, real peers – people who run organizations of a similar size and scope – know exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes.

They share your perspective and have “been there, done that.” And, since they have their own unique experiences, they bring solutions and insights you never considered, and opportunities you never even conceived.

It’s still a human world where integrity, experience, and relationships matter.

Imagine how valuable it would be if you were surrounded by a small group of non-competing CEOs who not only didn’t want anything from you but knew what it was like to face the type of decisions you face.

Peernacle connects the most successful Roanoke, Lynchburg, and southern Virginia executives so that — together — we can share expertise, challenge one another to think critically and arrive at better decisions.

Through this ongoing collaboration, we develop life-long leadership excellence that grows individuals and organizations, drives excellent results, and inspires communities.

Meet Your M/C (Mentor/Chair)

"As a former CEO who has experienced the isolation of leading a business firsthand, I'm passionate about creating supportive and trusting environments for local leaders. My goal is to bring non-competing leaders together to foster meaningful connections, encourage personal and professional growth, and provide a space for accountability. By facilitating these relationships, I aim to help leaders make smarter decisions, feel less alone, and achieve greater success."

- Tim Young, CEO, Peernacle

Hi, I'm Tim Young. My leadership experience began early when I was promoted to a VP position at the ripe old age of 23. By 25, I was promoted to division president of that same Fortune 500 company, a position I held for over 8 years.

When I was 35 I felt the entrepreneurial urge, so I jumped ship to form a self-funded start-up, a marketing firm that served technology companies. While serving as CEO and Chairman of the Board, we grew to 450 employees and hit #130 on the Inc. 500 list within five years.

-continue reading-

These combined experiences, first spending 16 years working in a large corporation, and then leading a fast-growing start-up, forged my passion for and understanding of what it takes to inspire and lead motivated teams to success.

All of this to say that I have been where you are as a business leader.

I have deep respect for the awesome responsibility you've undertaken to lead a business. And I understand how isolated it is in your role. Sure, you may have a board of directors and an executive committee. But you can't tell them "everything." You can't always tell them when you're uncertain or conflicted, and you certainly can't expect honest unbiased feedback. Because you're supposed to be the one with all the answers.

A CEO Peer Group changes all that

By joining a group of non-competing CEOs, you'll belong to a group that knows what it's like to make isolated decisions, are willing to be helpful and brutally honest with you, and will hold you accountable. And they want you to do the same for them.

I want to help you learn how to increase your effectiveness and find more time for what’s important in your life.

As for me, I do what I do because I believe in the power of what effective leadership can accomplish. Because even the most well-known and successful leaders, performers, and athletes have coaches and accountability partners to help them improve. You deserve the same, from me as your executive coach to your Peernacle team as your trusted advisors.

Whether you're struggling to navigate supply chain issues or recruiting/developing talented people, figuring out how to efficiently scale your business, or just finding time to work ON your business strategically, a CEO peer group can help.

If you’re ready to take another step in your growth and development as a leader, then get in touch with me. We’ll discuss if my CEO peer group is right for you and if you and your business are a good fit.

Thanks for visiting. I'm eager to speak with you, so please, get in touch.
