The right peer relationship, at the right time, for the right reason.
When the decision is yours alone, the counsel does not have to be.
FCCI introduces Christian owners, founders, and CEOs to fellow members who understand the work of leading a company—and the faith that shapes it.
Some questions call for someone who has been in the chair.
A difficult personnel decision. An ownership transition. The quiet tension between growth and what matters most. You may have wise people close to you and still need the perspective of another leader who knows this weight firsthand.
FCCI’s 1:1 connections reach beyond your own city or group, making room for candid, like-hearted peer counsel. This is not an appointment with a vendor or a name surfaced by an algorithm.
Not just “Who can sell you an answer?” but “Who might understand the question?”
An introduction shaped by real people
A real person makes the connection.
FCCI members have the opportunity for 1–3 curated member connections monthly.
Start with the need.
Based on your Member Profile, an FCCI team member considers what is in front of you now, alongside the experience you could offer another leader.
Look for mutuality.
The FCCI team looks for fellow members whose perspective may help - and for whom this conversation may also be meaningful.
Talk to both leaders.
Before proposing an introduction, an FCCI team member speaks with each side. You are told why this connection is being suggested and can accept/refuse as you please.
Make room to meet.
The FCCI team helps align calendars, so the first conversation can begin with attention rather than logistics.
Let it be yours.
An FCCI team member opens the call, then steps away. What follows belongs to the two leaders in the conversation.
A thoughtful introduction creates an opening. It cannot make trust instant or promise that every conversation becomes a lasting relationship.
Apply for MembershipCounsel offered as a peer.
The value is not simply access to another contact. It is the possibility of a candid exchange between leaders seeking to steward their companies faithfully.
Say what is actually difficult, not only what is easy to present.
Approach sensitive matters with care and respect for confidentiality.
Come ready to listen as well as to share what experience has taught you.
Make space for prayer and practical help, not just another opinion.
A good conversation may clarify a decision, bring a needed question into focus, or simply remind you that you are not carrying it alone.
The next honest conversation could begin here.
Curated 1:1 connections are part of FCCI membership for Christian owners, founders, and CEOs. If this kind of peer counsel is what you have been looking for, apply for membership or talk with FCCI first.
