The CEO Village:
Build Days

8 seats. 2 days. Leave with decisions made.

September 4–6 · Near Berlin, Brandenburg
Why this exists

You grow differently in the right environment.

This is not
another retreat.

  • Focused work on your real challenges
  • Sharp, honest feedback from the circle
  • A structured environment for real progress
  • Momentum that carries you forward

Not a networking event

You're not here to exchange business cards. You're here to build something.

Not a conference

No keynotes, no panels. Instead: 8 chairs, one table, clear rules.

Not passive inspiration

You won't leave with a full notes app. You'll leave with decisions made.

Environment
dictates
performance.

We set you up for two days of deep work, sharp thinking, and real decisions — in a place designed for exactly that.

No distractions No context switching No shallow conversations Just the work
The centrepiece

The CEO
Council

You sit in a circle of peers who all want the same thing: to move forward. No political caution. No small talk. Just sharp thinking and honest feedback.

01

Present your challenge

You share your most pressing challenge — clearly and unfiltered. 10 minutes, no slides.

02

The circle challenges you

Eight experienced perspectives. No nodding — real, direct questions from people who've been there.

03

Sharpen your thinking

In 40 minutes you develop options you hadn't seen before. With people who have no agenda.

04

1:1 Sparring on Friday

Book two 30-minute sessions with fellow participants. The Council continues in private.

"I'd been putting off my pricing decision for months. In the Council I had three concrete options after 40 minutes — and I knew exactly which one to take."
