Allexe is perhaps one of the most insightful (people) I have ever come across—combined with her kind demeanor and really logical thought processes, she has been exceedingly helpful to help grow my venture from day 1. Her vast experience in coaching and mentoring high level executives shows in her ability to be a visionary and accurately predict how an industry would be moving. She is highly respected amongst her peers and it is my honor to be associated with her.

The whole process was in our hands. ArtScience Group set up the structure and guided us in thinking outside the box, exploring new ideas, and brainstorming with the team. The online tools used were very powerful and allowed us to collaborate remotely with ease. Allexe is a phenomenal communicator, which was critical due to how chaotic our day-to-day business tends to be. She checked in often and kept everyone in the loop. She handled the customer interviews extremely well. It would have been impossible for our own staff to probe and follow up on responses without getting defensive. As a result of her professionalism, we gained much more insight than we would have had we gone solo. The process allowed us to identify several unmet needs our customers struggle with, some gaps in our offerings relative to competitors, and to brainstorm solutions to address the gaps and needs.

I find the experience with ArtScience Group CEO Exchange to be extremely healthy and refreshing. It is extremely important for CEOs to share common challenges and experiences and use that exchange to make their company healthier. The Exchange has greatly helped me as both a leader and a CEO. While there is a great deal of overlap in these roles, there are important differences. In a small company where everyone wears many hats and “triage” can be the modus operandi, one can get consumed by “leading” a situation and lose sight of the CEO responsibility. I found that the discipline of the forum, the shared experiences, external viewpoints and the 30,000 foot vantage that Allexe and the other CEOs bring in assessing business priorities has brought an important balance to how I have set priorities for myself. Inputs don’t come just from comments on my challenge, but learning from and commenting on the challenges of the others.

CEOs by nature don’t have peers within their companies. It is extremely valuable to get together with a group of like-minded CEOs and talk through the challenges that each of us are facing. It turns out that many of us have similar challenges!

Allexe manages the complexity of interpersonal issues superbly, and is always professional. Her ability to manage different interests and work towards a common solution is unsurpassed. She is an incisive, creative and strategic thinker who is very successful working with multi-disciplinary teams.

New leaders are learning on the battlefield as to how to establish their businesses, survive and grow. Establishing connections with other CEOs through the exchange and sharing best practices and experiences is a great way to learn how to step back and work on improving our ventures with the support of peers that share similar challenges.

ArtScience Group has created a dynamic environment in which CEOs can openly share experiences and best practices!

Through Allexe’s coaching, I am less emotional in my responses and look to understand the rationale that drives situations that are concerning to me. The workplace situations that Allexe helped me with were handled professionally, compassionately and with productive results. Prior to her coaching I am not sure I could have said that

ArtScience Group CEO Exchange provides an opportunity to hear how other executives handle similar challenge, providing different ideas on how to run your company more efficiently. The discussions with the group and Allexe on specific challenges I faced with growing my company has been very valuable.

The exchange of business issues, the real world advice and the feedback on common business pitfalls is what I find beneficial about the ArtScience Group CEO Exchanges. Allexe is very knowledgeable about scaling companies and brings practical insights. Her experience and method of delivery contributed to the ArtScience Group CEO Exchange experience.

Thinking outside the box and getting outside guidance from a team of CEOs that are not part of my internal team has been extremely helpful. The CEO exchange has been most helpful for me in addressing operational issues yet has also helped in identifying new business opportunities. Allexe is goal oriented, action oriented and very knowledgeable about emerging trends.
