CCEOC’s Vision is to connect and facilitate opportunities for CEOs and senior executives (individually and in peer groups) to grow as authentic business leaders and to experience significance and meaning in all dimensions of their lives.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Chicago CEO Coaching (CCEOC). As an experienced senior executive, business leader and the CEO/president of my own company for many years now, I founded CCEOC with the express purpose of creating authentic, peer-to-peer connection and collaboration. It all begins the moment clients engage with me.

Role of CEO/business owner

As a peer, I understand the CEO/business owner role is uniquely complex and dynamic. When one CEO connects with another, our experience shows there’s an almost immediate and automatic level of camaraderie and trust that begins to take hold, and this paves the way for the work we do at CCEOC.

We offer executive and life coaching, supplemented with business, career and personal development solutions designed to help Chicago area CEOs and senior executives discover opportunity, inspiration, ideas, possibility, significance and meaning on both an individual, one-to-one basis and within a peer group setting that yields exponential returns for participants across all dimensions of life. The outcomes we facilitate are extensive and include optimized business performance results, driven by the goals, dreams and aspirations CEOs establish or re-define as active participants in CCEOC. I invite you to explore the CCEOC site to learn more.

Jason Bateman

Sales and Retention Leader
John is a caring Chair who holds his members accountable and has the drive and passion to succeed in all he does. He is a true Leader of Leaders to his Chief Executive members in the greater Chicago area. If you are looking to become a better leader or build a better company then I recommend you contact John. He can take you and your company from good to great.

Steve Niesman

President/CEO at itelligence

John is a terrific Vistage Chair and CEO coach. John asks the right strategic and probing questions to help CEO’s focus ON their business; not just being IN their business. In addition, John has a broad business background and he is one of the most voracious readers I know. He is a caring and thoughtful person and he is deeply interested in others’ success. John is a great servant leader.

Rob Engelman

President, Engelman Management Group
I appreciate his enthusiasm, organizational skills, considerate thought process, and passion for helping business leaders make better business decisions. As a facilitator, he truly understands how to give people the “air time” they need, while being able to adeptly cut/re-focus conversation when necessary. I highly recommend John for anyone needing a true trusted advisor, mentor, leader, guide and friend.

Take the CCEOC Executive Pledge

As a successful CEO, business owner or senior executive, I am committed to advancing my skills as an authentic leader, tapping the insight and wisdom of my peers and experiencing greater significance and meaning across all dimensions of life.
