PEER GROUPS

Leading is hard and lonely for everyone - not just you.

Peer group members hear from other leaders who have “been there and done that,” and can weigh in, confidentially, on your big ideas, your big worries, what they did when they were in your shoes, and what they would do differently knowing what they know now.

Our peer groups are designed for owners, CEOs, and nonprofit executives who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and better judgment.

Peer Groups might be right for you if

  • You feel like you’re alone, but you’re never left alone to actually explore your big, strategic thoughts.

  • You have ideas, and you need a sounding board of leaders who have the same high stakes you do.

  • You have employees. (Humans are hard!)

  • You have imposter syndrome.

  • You’re seeking accountability for yourself and your team.

  • You want to identify your blind spots and make better/less costly decisions.

  • What always worked before isn’t working anymore.

  • Revenue is shrinking, and you’re looking for strategy, not panic.

  • Your turnover is high, and you don’t know why/can’t fix it.

  • You want to level up your emotional intelligence, boundary building, or conflict management.

  • You have a Board of Directors (Boards are hard!)

  • You would like a place where you don’t have to pretend. And, you’d like to actually sleep at night.

Groups are led by Shelley Cadamy, a no-nonsense consultant and coach with 30 years of experience working with owners, CEOs, and other execs, so members just show up, get engaged, and focus on what matters.

WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY.

  • “Makes the work of strategic planning accesible and not as intimidating..."

    Shelley Cadamy came into my life and helped the nonprofit I volunteer with at such a pivotal time! We knew we were ready for growth but unsure of what our first steps needed to be to get there. Shelley walked alongside us the whole way, developing a strategic plan for our organization that we have used ever since and refer back to constantly! She is so friendly and personable and also makes the work of strategic planning accessible and not as intimidating as it may seem to some!

    Since working with Shelley, she has been so thoughtful in keeping our connection and truly cares deeply about those she works with and for. I am so grateful for the forever impact she has made on my life as a nonprofit Board President as well as for our nonprofit as a whole!

  • “...from paperwork to full vision!"

    When we created the Bixby Development Foundation and knew we needed a strategic plan to set us up for success, the decision was unanimous to use Shelley to lead our research and planning sessions. Her expertise in economic and community development was well known and she was a trusted partner from the beginning – I can’t say “to the end” because we keep coming back for more!

    She took us from paperwork to full vision, plan, and execution and has helped us have the clarity that so many organizations struggle with. Our foundation would not be what it is today without her.

  • “...our shared vulnerabilities and successes have been more powerful than I imagined."

    The time and money that I spend participating in the peer group has been a great investment in both my business and myself. Our group provides an empowering space to talk through goals, strategies, and struggles. I expected to learn from the other members’ experiences and insights, but the relationships we’ve built through our shared vulnerabilities and successes have been more powerful than I imagined.

    I’ve also worked with Shelley on strategic planning and implementation that has helped inspire and unite my team while improving and scaling my business. I wholeheartedly recommend Cadamy Business Consulting for both experiences!

  • "You will not be disappointed with Shelley Cadamy!"

    I highly recommend Shelley Cadamy as a consultant in organizational strategic planning. She was able to engage our executive leadership in a way that helped us to better understand the strategic planning process, how to support our CEO's vision, and how to prioritize goals and objectives. Shelley is an excellent facilitator of the strategic planning process and very skilled in engagement. She found a way to shift tactics to engage all members of our team and get them to buy into the process.

    She is not only a consultant but has also become a coach, offering support and resources when our organization feels uncertain of our ability to meet goals. Shelley has also been very helpful in helping us to think out-of-the-box and not stick to the same tactics that have failed in the past. I promise you that you will not be disappointed with Shelley Cadamy's work!

  • "Her demeanor, insights, and ability to create consensus led to successful projects and making hard decisions easier...."

    I worked with Shelley on several occasions including working on the family foundation-backed creation of a neighborhood district and her advising me on my own Company. Her demeanor, insights, and ability to create consensus led to successful projects and making hard decisions easier. My confidence in her abilities has led me to connect her with others and I will continue to do so.

  • I would not hesitate to do this again if I had the choice. The investment has been returned exponentially.

    I joined one of Shelley’s peer groups two years ago and several things have happened since then. I have grown as a CEO and been able to focus more on the business and not doing the work in the business. I have felt supported and “seen”. I have been advocated for and had a team of cheerleaders at my beck and call. And have made friendships that I value so much. This is all thanks to Shelley’s facilitation and mastermind-ing this amazing group of individuals. I would not hesitate to do this again if I had the choice. The investment has been returned exponentially.

  • "I count Shelley as an important part of my company's success and highly recommend her."

    I have not only referred Shelley as a strategic planning partner to my clients, I have also utilized her services (strategic planning, business consulting, peer group) for my own company. I appreciate Shelley's candor, pragmaticism, and real-world experience in leadership and administration. As a fellow service provider, I've seen a great number of strategic plans and encountered many consultants. Most, unfortunately, have spectacular personal branding skills and a mediocre final product. Shelley's process is comprehensive and thorough. She knows what she's talking about and isn't afraid to tell you hard things, or map out a plan to accomplish hard things. I count Shelley as an important part of my company's success and highly recommend her.
