Business and Executive Coaching

For Manufacturing, Technology, and Transportation Business Leaders

Navigate Today’s VUCA Environment

Today’s business leaders are forced to navigate a VUCA environment with volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous conditions. To be successful, you need access to resources quickly, the ability to see your blindspots, and opportunities to leverage unbiased, confidential advice. No one else can give you the perspective you need to get ahead; employees, clients, vendors, family, and friends don’t understand the complexities of your business and industry. Choose to focus on your business, yourself as an executive and leader, or your team. Consider joining a group of peers, who run a company of similar size and scope who have “been there, done that” and speak your language, can bring solutions and insights you may have never conceived.  An unbiased, outside coach or peers will help you take your business to the next level.

Peer Advisor Council

Industry Specific

Meet peers with relevant (but not overlapping) experience to discuss the most pressing challenges for your business and industry.

Committed Peers

Unbiased, non-competing council members are committed to confidentiality, accountability, and your success.

Experienced Facilitation

With experience in defense, aerospace, medical, industrial automation, automotive, and trucking industries, Paul Menig, knows what it takes to succeed.

Your Personal Business Coach

It is lonely at the top and it is unlikely you have all the answers. A business coach can help you in many ways, such as:

What to Expect in a Manufacturing, Technology, and Transportation Council

Your small group of no more than 10 leaders will meet on the same day every month in our virtual Strategic Partners’ board room. We’ll discuss what’s important to you, vision-based needs through open-ended discussions, and problem-solving frameworks like COPI (Challenge, Opportunity, Problem, Idea) Processing. Quarterly achievement sessions and annual perspective reports help you stay on track with continuous improvement.

We do the legwork to optimize our councils for the most valuable experience, considering dozens of factors during our discovery calls, to ensure each council member gets the most out of their experience.

Meet Paul

Paul Menig has over 35 years of experience working with teams of all sizes from Fortune 10 to startups. He has the transportation technology innovation experience most advisory board members don’t and the patents to show for it.
As an executive leader and innovation expert, Paul uses his background to facilitate powerful conversations that develop supportive relationships. While he’s always there to jump in, he excels at pulling the insights from the room, so you and your fellow members get the most out of each meeting.

Kenneth Calhoun

— Cynthia Lynn, President, Peralynna Inn

“This provides me with a structured discipline to the stage and reach my goals. The camaraderie of my fellow board members, although concentrated in a four-hour period, is caring, genuine, honest, and loyal. My investment has already provided me the best business return in 20 years.”

— Sherry Jackson, Owner—Glen Cove Marina

“One of the greatest values received is having 10 people with different levels of expertise, different scopes of businesses – completely different than mine – learning how they apply their thought processes to problems. [It] is invaluable to me.”

— Robin Sterneck, President – Sterneck Capital Management

“I was looking for a candid sounding board on various topics since I was now flying without a net.”

— Frank Rebori, President, Smith & Loveless

“I gain tremendous insight and perspective from other managers/owners in similar positions of companies like myself.”

— Melanie Hennigan, Principal, Grimm + Parker

“…It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day demands of the business, but the monthly meetings and coaching help keep my focus on the big picture. Our participation has proven to be a wise business decision.”

— Larry Jackson, Good To Go Markets

“This has become a valuable resource for many of my business decisions. It has saved me thousands of dollars in just my first year of membership.”

— Jim Combs, President/CEO – National Advisors Trust

“As a source of objective advice, a professional sounding board, and a forum to brainstorm creative and innovative solutions to complex business problems.”

— John Block, Bank President, First National Bank

“I am personally involved in this peer-to-peer group because it gives me ideas that I otherwise might not consider and time to think proactively. It’s been invaluable to me as a CEO of the bank to have a confidential environment to participate in critical thinking in a group setting solving common problems or issues.”

— Marshall Weston Jr., President & CEO, Restaurant Association of Maryland

“I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the opportunity to participate in LXCouncil. At first, I was concerned about the time commitment but soon realized that the meetings forced me to be more focused on the big picture, rather than be bogged down in day-to-day operations. Ultimately, LX was instrumental in helping me evaluate how I was doing business, spending my time, and prioritizing what was most important. I have a renewed energy and better strategic approach for the future because of my time at LXCouncil.”

— Jason Doyle, President, Alliance Energy Services

Membership in LXCouncil has been very rewarding to me in both my personal and professional life. Working with peers has allowed me to look at my problems and opportunities in a unique way that was much different than talking with my normal peers – at work or at home. Giving and getting advice from a group of peers gave unique perspectives that helped me tremendously and allowed me to look at things in a different light. I also have felt more confident and assertive in my decisions since joining the council based on the advice I received in these groups from successful business owners and leaders. The LXCouncil meeting facilitator did an excellent job keeping us on task and brought something valuable and unique to each monthly meeting. I will recommend peer advisory groups and LXCouncil to others based on my positive experience.

— Paul Thomas, President, AC Manufacturing

 “The commitment in my mind is what is it worth for you to step back and think about your business, how effective are you being, and where is your company going. If you don’t do that occasionally, I don’t think you can do a good job leading or  growing your company.” 

— Mark Boyer, President – Tippins

“A mechanism to get solid and timely feedback; someone to speak with at my level, and someone to smack me around and give  me meaningful feedback.” 

— Matt Ash, AL-Tech

In my first three months, my board saved me $75K. LXC peer advisory groups are a great investment for any business owner.
