The loneliest job
in education?
The top.
A regular collaborative practice for educational CEOs, where superintendents and presidents learn from each other across sectors. No pitches. No panels. No institutional posturing.
6 Sessions Per Year · K–12 & Higher Ed · 60 Minutes · 10:30 AM CST
Sessions
One Table
Discussion
Designed for leaders who
still ask questions.
The Peer-2-Peer Roundtable is built on one premise: K–12 and higher education have more to learn from each other than from staying in their own lane. The only credential that earns a seat is a genuine willingness to learn across sectors.
Superintendents & Assistant Superintendents
You navigate board politics, legislative pressure, community trust, and a workforce facing historic burnout, all while holding a coherent strategic vision together. You deserve peers who understand the full weight of that chair.
Presidents, Chancellors & Provosts
You're managing enrollment headwinds, faculty-administration tensions, and a rapidly shifting value proposition for your institution. The best thinking on your most pressing problems isn't always coming from within your sector, and you know it.
- ✓ You lead K–12 or higher ed facing real relevance and financial viability pressures
- ✓ You suspect peer collaboration across sectors beats staying in your lane
- ✓ You're willing to be challenged by a university president or superintendent who solved your exact problem differently
- ✓ You want authentic dialogue, not another space for institutional optics management
- ✓ You're comfortable sitting with questions that don't have clean answers
- ✗ You're not genuinely concerned about your institution's relevance or financial trajectory
- ✗ You're convinced your sector already has the best answers
- ✗ You're unwilling to question the assumptions your peer group has always shared
- ✗ You want a panel where leaders promote their institution's programs and initiatives
- ✗ You're looking for the already-learned. Only active learners welcome
What happens in
the room.
Cross-Sector Peer Discussion
Superintendents and college presidents at the same table, learning how the other sector frames and solves shared challenges. The cross-sector lens is the point, not a side benefit.
No Pitches. No Vendors.
This is not a webinar. There's no product pitch, no sponsor slot, no presenter promoting their institution. Just executives who agreed to show up and think out loud together.
Topic-Driven, Peer-Led
Each session centers on a challenge that's live for both K–12 and higher ed. The brief goes out in advance. The conversation follows the people in the room, not a slide deck.
