Peer Groups
Larry Taylor, a Certified Forum Facilitator with over 15 years of experience, has developed a Peer Leadership Forum model that provides invaluable support to entrepreneurs and key executives. These peer forums create a confidential, collaborative environment where leaders from diverse industries come together to share insights, explore strategies, and uncover blind spots. Comparable to having a personal board of directors, these forums connect executives committed to providing support and fresh perspectives on challenges. Each forum meets regularly, featuring a mix of business workshops, roundtable discussions, and in-depth member presentations on topics such as scaling, leadership, culture, and work-life balance.
Larry has facilitated over 30 YPO forums—the gold standard in international peer groups—and has helped launch more than 25 new forums across North America. His approach fosters deep engagement, trust-building, and actionable takeaways, empowering leaders to drive growth, profitability, and leadership development.

You are at the top of the pyramid, and everyone expects you to have all the answers and never make a mistake. That’s a tough spot to be in. You can’t bounce ideas off your staff or discuss your fears concerning out-of-the-box strategies because it might frighten some of your managers. They might see your indecisiveness as a weakness. Big ideas may also intimidate them.
You don’t have a way to uncover your blinds spots. Or a have a place where successful executives that you trust can vet your strategies and solutions.
A peer-to-peer leadership forum is a proven solution. A Peer Leadership Forum has 6 to 8 peers from different non-competing businesses. They meet in an atmosphere of total confidentiality to exchange ideas and safely explore business and personal issues. It’s also a place to learn and grow as a person. It’s like having a personal board of directors.

Corporate peer groups provide an invaluable platform for leaders within the same organization to strengthen communication, foster collaboration, and enhance decision-making across departments or locations. These groups are designed to improve trust and teamwork, with members working together in a confidential setting to address key challenges, share insights, and align on strategic goals.
Whether structured as horizontal (same level), vertical (varied levels), or multi-location groups, corporate peer forums help break down silos, reinforce core values, and build a culture of accountability and shared purpose.
