A Seat at the 
Table That Matters

Wade's Room isn't just another peer advisory group — it's a curated boardroom of accomplished CEOs who push, support, and inspire each other to make the decisions that matter most. Here, every member has been handpicked, every conversation is built on trust, and outcomes are measured by the impact of the decisions made.

Handpicked for Impact

Membership is by invitation only. The individuals in Wade's room are carefully chosen, ensuring each seat is filled by a CEO who will elevate the room. Diversity of industry, perspectives, and experience creates cross-industry breakthroughs that no single consultant or board could provide.

Zero-Ego Culture

This is not theory or talk for talk's sake. Members consistently walk out of meetings with clarity, decisions made, and accountability to act.

ROI-Driven Decisions

Here, titles are left at the door. What remains is honesty, vulnerability, and humility - CEOs who drop their armor and get real. This is the space where "iron sharpens iron."

A Master Curator

Wade is more than a facilitator. He's a master curator of both people and conversations. With experience as a CEO, board member, and president at a NYSE company, and recognition as a top ranked Vistage Chair worldwide, Wade guides the group with discipline, wisdom, and insight — asking the hard questions and connecting the dots others miss.

Trust at the Core

Confidentiality isn't a rule here — it's a way of being. Members trust Wade, and they trust each other. That trust creates the safety required for the kind of openness CEOs can't find anywhere else.

Small Groups, Big Breakthroughs

Beyond the group meetings, Wade invests in private coaching (1-2-1s) and smaller peer sessions (1-3-1s). These conversations delve into details of specific issues (personal or business related), drive accountability, sharpen strategy, and keep momentum between monthly group meetings.

World-Class Speakers

Members gain access to nationally recognized thought leaders and subject-matter experts who bring into the room new ideas, fresh perspectives, challenge assumptions, and ignite raw thinking. Many are award winning presenters and include speakers, such as Morné Smitt, Craig Weber, Kathleen Quinn Votaw, Dr. Bill Crawford and more.

Beyond Business

Many members extend their leadership into the community — serving as CEOs of nonprofits, board chairs, and philanthropic leaders. From Habitat for Humanity to Chris 180, Wade's members prove that leadership in this room reaches far beyond the bottom line.
