Can the CEO Perspective Group help me?
Yes. Typically clients are leaders, either the best and brightest or those aspiring to greater achievement and understanding. The CEO Group is not for everyone. We won't accept work unless we can help make a difference. Never judgmental, advice is practical and direct with an eye to results. When you call, you'll be able to talk or meet with a partner, who can quickly tell you if it's a match.

What are the Group's rates?
Needs and goals vary widely; accordingly, fees may be hourly, for an engagement, retainer, equity, or a combination. Services may be paid by the individual client, his/her firm, Board or investor group.

I don't live near an office - - can I still be a client?
Nearly half of current clients do not live near an office. The Group's locations make meetings convenient for business leaders in the United States and around the world.

How do people find the CEO Perspective Group?
Our client base is 98% referral by satisfied clients. Soder, Clarke, and the CEO Group receive extensive media coverage but have never had to engage in advertising to find new business. CEO Group clients are some of the world's top marketing and advertising leaders. However, we have produced only two brochures and this website. Results, not press, have kept us in the forefront for decades.

How long are people active clients?
We strive to help clients become self-sufficient as rapidly as possible. Many clients continue to seek our advice as they encounter new challenges and issues, including assessments of staff and transitions into new roles.

How long has the Group been around?
Since 1986.

Will I be talking with the partners themselves or associates?
From your first call on, a CEO Group partner will personally handle every aspect of your situation.

Can the CEO Group work with multiple individuals at the same company?
Handling sensitive situations is a specialty of the CEO Group. Over the years, the CEO Group has worked separately with bosses and subordinates, husbands and wives, peers and partners and still maintained the highest standards of confidentiality.

I've already had some testing done - do I still need a CEO Group Assessment?
Some engagements do not require an Assessment, but it is recommended in many situations. You will benefit from the CEO Group Assessment regardless of your previous experience with psychological testing. This Assessment is designed for the individual to yield the personal and practical information most sought out by executives. Indeed, other psychologists seek out Soder for themselves and their spouses.

What exactly is the Assessment? How long does it take?
The CEO Group Assessment has several components: an information intake phase, analysis, and feedback to the clients. Initially, individuals have a half day of highly interactive tests and questions. All components meet rigorous requirements for reliability and validity for senior executives; these proprietary assessment measures were designed to identify the key components of leadership success. Where other programs give two-page "feedback forms," the CEO Group feedback is an intensive, one-on-one session. For time-sensitive situations, weekend and other schedule variations are available. Contact Dr.Soder for further questions.

How do you measure results?
At the start of any engagement, quantifiable goals are established, and progress is continually assessed by the client and CEO Group partner. We routinely help clients meet those goals. Clients are often so satisfied that they pay more than they were charged and otherwise show their appreciation of the results.

Is this confidential?
Yes - Leaders, many of whom are highly visible, have for decades discussed with confidence the most intimate details of their business and personal lives. We will not betray the trust of a client.
