I've poured a good chunk of time into CHIEF, but I'm starting to wrestle with the ROI. The core meetings, which initially seemed so promising, are now feeling like a chore. Attendance is spotty, and the discussions are circling the same points. I'm not seeing the strategic connections or the actionable insights I was hoping for. I'm wondering, is anyone else who has joined that group experiencing this disconnect?

I loved Chief when I was in NYC. I met a lot of successful, single, no kids career women who would do events, dinners and shows together. Add that I had a tight core group and I would have stayed forever.

I moved back to Chicago and there wasn't a good group of that type of woman here and the mommy jacking of the core group was more pronounced. Most of the two core groups I was on were entrepreneurs which doesn't help me as a global exec.

I quit Chief 1.5 years ago as it became a drain vs a help. Adding to that, the corporate team was always reaching out to Black women about our experience, while not hiring Black women and not letting Black women interview guests, it just wasn't a fit any more.

I get much better value out of our Chicago executive clubs than Chief.

I’ve been a CHIEF member for a while too, and while I got a lot out of it early on, the momentum has definitely slowed. I’m finding myself logging into core meetings wondering if it’s going to be the same conversation we had last month. I joined hoping for fresh perspectives and strategic insight, but right now it feels a bit like we’re all circling the same issues without moving forward.

I get the invitations on LI but never joined

I was a part of chief for two years. The second year was definitely less productive than the first. I’m still in contact with many of the women that I met through the first year.

They did a restructuring recently and a revamp of their offerings and it doesn’t seem to be working out

Not for the price point

As an FYI, if you are a woman of color, you can ask them for a discount on the price

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

So true 😅

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks. I have had a string of managers within the past year, it’s starting to get very annoying as each person says method A is wrong and B is right, another manager would have the complete opposite view. Have you had similar experiences when this practice and adjustment begins to interfere with client deliverables.
