CEO Roundtable:
Exclusive, Confidential, Off-the-Record Leadership Discussions
​
Scaling a business can be deeply isolating.
At a certain level, you cannot speak candidly with employees, clients, or even friends about what you are carrying. The decisions become heavier, the risks become real, and the pressure becomes constant — yet the space to think becomes smaller.
​
CEO Roundtable is designed for established entrepreneurs who are ready to evolve into the CEO role fully and permanently. This is an invitation-only environment where business owners can speak openly, gain perspective, and build the leadership capacity required to scale without regressing back into control, overwork, and burnout.
You Do Not Need More Advice. You Need the Right Room.
Most founders do not stall because they lack ambition. They stall because they are carrying the weight alone.
CEO Roundtable gives you a confidential space to think clearly, speak honestly, and move forward with the support of leaders who understand the pressure of building at scale.
• for established entrepreneurs stepping fully into their ceo role
A Private Leadership Environment — Not a Networking Group
There is a stage of business growth where the founder’s instincts are no longer enough. You can feel that the business has potential, yet execution begins to stall. Delegation feels risky. Leadership feels heavier. And despite having a clear vision, you may find yourself pulled back into the day-to-day simply because it feels faster than building the team’s capability.
​
CEO Roundtable is designed for business owners who are no longer trying to “figure it out,” but who are ready to lead differently. This is for founders who are scaling into the 5M–20M range, building leadership teams, and navigating the complexity of growth while protecting the integrity of what they have built.​​​
​
​
Members are not here to pitch. They are not here to posture. ​Access is Invitation & Referral Only.
CEO Roundtable is intentionally designed to be exclusive, confidential, and off the record. The Business Owners and Entrepreneurs are here to speak candidly, learn quickly, and support one another as they navigate high-stakes leadership decisions.​ The purpose of the Roundtable is not simply discussion. It is evolution.
It is a structured environment that helps founders shift from frantic execution to CEO-level leadership, supported by the right peers and guided by Paragon’s Behavioural and Business Architecture approach. ​CEO Roundtable is invitation-only and referral-based. The quality of the room determines the quality of the outcome. We protect the Roundtable so that members can speak candidly, share openly, and learn without performance pressure. Where alignment exists, we extend invitations directly.

What Happens Inside the CEO Roundtable
Candid Discussion With Leaders Who Understand the Weight
At a certain level, leadership becomes difficult to discuss anywhere. You cannot process the real decisions with your team, because you are responsible for their stability. You cannot process them with friends, because they cannot feel the pressure of payroll, risk, or responsibility. You cannot process them publicly, because reputation matters. The Roundtable exists to remove that isolation. It gives you a confidential space where you can speak honestly about leadership strain, execution stall, talent concerns, team dynamics, and the personal cost of growth — without fear of judgement, exposure, or being misunderstood. In this room, you do not have to translate your reality. You can simply speak.
​
​
Strategic Perspective That Strengthens Decision-Making
Founders often become trapped inside their own urgency. When you are deep in delivery, constantly responding to operations, people, and problems, your decision-making becomes compressed. You may still have vision, but you lose the space required to think at altitude. CEO Roundtable is designed to restore that strategic perspective. You step out of reaction and into reflection, supported by peers who have lived similar challenges and can offer grounded insight. The goal is not advice for advice’s sake. The goal is sharper decisions, clearer priorities, and fewer costly missteps made in isolation.
​
​
Guided CEO Evolution That Prevents Regression
Most founders do not struggle because they cannot lead. They struggle because the business grows faster than their internal systems, team capability, and leadership structure can mature. Under pressure, many entrepreneurs revert to control, over-involvement, and personal execution because it feels faster in the moment. The Roundtable is built to prevent that regression. We help you strengthen delegation discipline, clarify decision rights, and build leadership infrastructure so that the business becomes less dependent on your constant oversight. This is how you evolve from being the engine of the company to being the leader of the company.
​
​
Peer Accountability Without Ego
CEO Roundtable is not a networking group, and it is not a performance arena. It is a high-trust container where accomplished leaders show up with humility, honesty, and a genuine desire to grow. Members are expected to listen as much as they speak, contribute without posturing, and support one another without pitching. That is why the Roundtable is invite-only. The environment is protected intentionally so that every participant can speak freely and leave stronger, clearer, and more equipped than when they arrived.

• Why Our Approach Works
Behavioural-Engineered. Business-Aligned. Battle-Tested.
Most entrepreneurial scaling challenges are not caused by a lack of strategy. They are caused by the friction that emerges when leadership, behaviour, and business structure fall out of alignment. A founder may have vision, yet struggle to delegate. A team may be talented, yet execution stalls because decision-making is unclear. The organization may be growing, yet profitability and performance remain unstable because the business is still operating on founder intensity rather than operational discipline.
​
CEO Roundtable works because it combines the two elements most founders are missing at this stage: a protected environment and the right calibre of peers. When you are surrounded by leaders who understand the weight, and guided by an advisor who can translate complexity into structure, you stop carrying the business alone. You begin making decisions with greater clarity, building leadership capability with more discipline, and creating momentum that does not collapse the moment you step away.
​
​
This is not simply a space to talk. It is a space designed to evolve the leader — so the business can scale without requiring constant personal sacrifice as its operating model.

Outcomes, Shared Discreetly
Because CEO Roundtable is designed for high-trust leaders and confidential discussions, we do not publish member details, case studies, or specific performance metrics publicly.
​
What we can say is this: business owners who participate consistently experience measurable shifts in leadership capacity, delegation discipline, execution momentum, and profitability — often faster than they believed possible.
