Member characteristics / beliefs & values

Equality

The Alchemists Forum is built upon a foundation of equality. There is no hierarchy in our groups. We come together as equals, recognising that each of us brings experience and knowledge to the table that can benefit the whole group. Your input matters - we encourage you to participate and bring your thinking and strengths to the table.

Humility

Our members demonstrate a willingness to share their personal and business triumphs and failures. Hard-won experience (good and bad) is what provides depth and meaning for leaders of substance. Members believe and value continuous learning and always strive for greater.

Self-awareness

In addition to improving organisational performance, our members aim to increase levels of satisfaction and performance in their own work as well as that of their employees, their customers and investors.

Commitment

Consistent participation is often an important ingredient in bonding peers and building the trust required to discuss key issues. All CEOs are busy, and members in any group will view participation as a priority. This is time well spent working on the business and yourself rather than within it.

Transparency

Whilst they may be strong in their views, our groups are non-judgmental and compassionate. The best personal board members ask questions, draw analogies, make dispassionate observations, give focused feedback, help you attain self-knowledge and ultimately help you make better decisions.
