Two days away, for the one knot that won't come loose from inside the building.
CEO Reset — Málaga
WHEN FINE-TUNING IS NOT ENOUGH
You've sharpened the strategy. Adjusted the team. Reframed the message. All reasonable. And still it won't move.
The question isn't how to fine-tune it anymore. It's whether you're even working on the right thing.
That's hard to see from your own chair. You're in it. The noise, the calendar, the people who all want something from you.
Some things you can't think clearly about in the building where they live.
WHAT IT IS
Two half-days in a private premium setting on the coast near Málaga.
Confidential. One issue, the one that matters.
I don’t arrive with a prefabricated answer. I bring the questions, judgment and outside perspective needed to reach the right one.
You don't leave with a consulting report. You leave with a decision, captured on one page so it can survive the return to the business.
THE THREE AXES
How the market reads you. Does it still match where you stand?
POSITIONING
What is no longer moving fast enough? Where is the real friction?
MOMENTUM
Your room to decide. Does your authority still match what you are accountable for?
AUTONOMY
Or something that fits none of these. Often that's the most interesting one.
HOW IT WORKS
An intake call first to set the focus. A few questions to prepare.
Two half-days and lunch together. Real conversation, no templates.
The afternoons stay open. Not a break. The sharpest things rarely come at the table. They come on the walk after, once it settles.
You arrive the evening before and stay in the same private setting where we work. That keeps both half-days unhurried and leaves the afternoons open for the thinking that continues after the conversation.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
A clearer read on the issue and the decision it requires.
After the Reset, I capture the outcome on a one-page Strategic Compass:
the decision you are taking;
the reasoning and assumptions behind it;
what now needs to change;
the concrete next steps for the weeks ahead.
The page is written in your language and designed to remain useful once you are back inside the business.
Thirty days later, we meet again to test what moved, what did not and what the decision now requires.
STEVEN PIESSENS.
For 25 years, I have worked alongside CEOs and founders through growth, transition and decisions they could not think through openly inside the business.
I have built, led and exited my own company and advised more than 250 leaders across Europe. I know the weight of the seat and how difficult it is to see a decision clearly from inside the system.
I am not a coach and I do not arrive with a prefabricated answer. My role is to challenge the assumptions around the decision and create the time and distance needed to see it clearly.
WHAT STAYS AFTER THE RESET
“I came in with several things tangled together. By the second day, it was clear which decision the others depended on. I left with a direction I could stand behind, concrete next steps and one page I still use to keep myself on track.”

Names stay private here. That is part of the work.THE MATHS
One wrong senior hire costs more. One acquisition that stalls for six months costs more. A year spent defending a position that no longer fits costs far more.
The comparison is not with two days of advice. It's the cost of carrying the wrong decision into another quarter.
€9,500 excl. VAT.
The Reset includes two intensive half-days, two nights in a private setting, breakfast and lunch, the intake and the 30-day follow-up. Travel is not included.
START HERE
It comes down to how the market sees you, whether the business is still moving, and how much room you have to decide. Or it's something else entirely. That's part of the work.
Let’s talk through what's shifted and whether a Reset is the right next step.
