13. What Happens If I Wish to Attend but My Spouse
or Family Member Lacks Support for My membership?
While most CEOs making a decision related to advanced team training for management may not deal with this issue, some smaller business owners DO face stress when precious resources are allocated to any form of Executive training. For those who are dealing with such stress, this item may be useful when shared with family members.
Gaining support from those you love typically is a matter of information. Once a CEO and their support team have adequate information about the PROFIT potential inside each of CEO Space’s five annual training programs, a more informed decision point is easier. Family members' confidence that CEO SPACE performance inside each trade show are financially self amortizing, such that membership fees are returned by the nature of the CEO SPACE Trade program, tends to reduce stress. Confidence is built further by pre-class education. If the pre class kit does not help the family member, to determine CEO SPACE is "not another seminar/workshop model" we are happy at that time to refund the full tuition (as per our contract). As with any process, the CEO SPACE trade show is not magic. It takes hard work and plenty of follow up to alter any existing income pattern. Process change is required to improve income. Typically, the only way to improve income performance; requires decision makers gain a) new skills b) new contacts and c) both at the same time. Those who love you most (family) may wish to protect you from risk, even the risk of improved results. We ask family in such a position to consider, "are you protecting your loved one from the risk of WINNING?" If you "do nothing" and pass on CEO SPACE as a new skill acquisition tool, your prior income results are assured. Superior training and mentor support is always the better way to improved near term performance. There is no magic wand that does the work for a decision making team. Each CEO team must do the work to obtain the results that flow from applied learning in any context. As with any choice involving resources and a week of time - CEO family members may not support the idea to attend the CEO SPACE retreat, perhaps wrongly concluding CEO SPACE is a seminar or workshop. We encourage families to attend together for this reason- and many do - while we appreciate a lack of support may also occur in some families. We also encourage families to secure enough data to understand CEO SPACE is a process of ongoing support that greatly assists decision makers at the top.
There is always RISK associated with any new performance opportunity in life and your spouse or home team naturally seeks to protect you from new and unknown risk.
One successful technique helpful to families - used by past graduates-is to have your special "others" agree to join a private, two-way information call with CEO Space executives who can explain to them how the CEO Space program works. Such exploratory calls typically win family support for your attending CEO Space. It is always a good idea to have those you love and support you most, attend CEO SPACE local workshops and review 10 minute CEO SPACE videos (together on this web site) and print materials such as this item to complete their own due diligence.
More information = Greater comfort
Ask for a PRIVATE CALL if you require yet another free service at anytime comfortable for you and your family members. Private Executive calls can air issues in the open to assure the risk of winning is not precluded by old programs.
Perhaps the most popular way to help "core team" to support your decision is to rely on past results. For this reasons CEO SPACE posts hours upon hours of PROVEN CEO testimonial videos (click our home page anytime - almost 2000 hours of Testimonial videos many from leading law firms appear on line). Past results from 1990 to the present help family members to support the risk reward decision related to CEO SPACE Membership for the business owner. Also the CEO Space press section with print and electronic media reports can be helpful with family. CEO SPACE is the only CEO training program with over twenty years of history. We do not advertise or self promote. Our customers tell our story for us. Our endorsements include many institutional and private individuals including well known celebrity super stars. Our customers like our low key approach as well as an ongoing continuous support for a one time membership fee that is tax deductible.
If you cannot obtain the support of those close to you, CEO SPACE always recommends the CEO team’s delaying or decline participating in the coming training program. In some families, you will need to proceed on your own judgment and instinct, and show actual results to your spouse to obtain the support you desire after the program rather than before. Only you can judge which should come first. Only you can know the best course of action for your situation. Our coaches are family-valued professionals who remain available to talk with your home team anytime.
We have seen thousands of cases in which the proof later revolutionized a spouse’s support, support that was lacking at the time the membership was acquired. CEO SPACE believes success unites families while lack of success can divide families. CEO SPACE works to strengthen family bonds, offering deep discounts for families to attend our programs together. Decisions for the future are often so large at a CEO SPACE week; family support becomes a positive foundation for larger SUCCESS in the weeks and months that follow.
Our guideline is simple: Family always comes first in such decision making. CEO SPACE is a family valued program serving Executive families who frequently attend together. CEO Space is a safe environment for growing profits and family in a single space.
