Our Round Table Executive Support Forum
Our Round Table program is a forum for executives where they can participate in regular developmental activities. It is a private space where executives can table any issue for consideration and discussion by the group. This is a private forum where the members provide support to each other on any business and personal issues.
When required, one-to-one mentoring and coaching will be provided to any member requesting assistance. An important criteria for joining the group is active participation and the willingness to also provide support to other members, when required.
The Premises
Our executive program is based on the following premises:
- Directors, senior executives, CEO’s, Chair Persons and Board Members need and want professional development and support like all other managers.
- Directors, senior executives, CEO’s, Chair Persons and Board Members need a place where they can make mistakes without consequence to support their learning and development.
- It can be lonely at the top, and at times, there is no-one to consult and to gain an external perspective.
- Professional development is optimally achieved with a balance of group activities, one-to-one sessions and a place where you can give and receive support.
- Robust discussion about contemporary issues with respected peers in a supportive and private forum is an ideal way of gaining a wide perspective on issues.

Joining our Round Table: Initial Briefing
The process starts with a detailed briefing in order to:
- Explain the program, the processes and, most important, the possibilities.
- Explain the formats of the one-to-one sessions and the Round Table forums and your role.
- Discuss your requirements and the requirements of the group of you.
- Trust and integrity are essential!
Confirmation Briefing
The first session is held one week after the initial briefing and is a one-to-one session aimed at:
- Confirming the executive’s goals and motivations.
- Detailing any additional information and activities required to assist in meeting the executive’s objectives.
- There are no costs up to this stage.
Regular Forums
- Forums are held monthly. A twelve month calendar for the forums is set accommodating the calendar year.
- Subgroups are conducted as required.
- One-to-one sessions with mentors and/or coaches are conducted as required by the members.
Regular Feedback
- A continuous improvement mechanism is built into the structure of the forums.
- Every twelve months the group rigorously reviews its performance.
- A private one-to-one review is conducted with each member six monthly to ensure the member’s personal objectives are being met and to re-align the member’s programs to ensure their current and future needs are accommodated.
How does our Round Table Differ to Mentoring and Coaching?
As a minimum our program provides one-to-one mentoring and coaching services to executives. However, our Round Table Executive Support Forum extends far beyond mentoring and coaching. We rescue executives from their troubled waters, and thereafter, we provide continuing and sustaining support and developmental services for the executive to grow personally and professionally.
