We bring Christian business owners and CEOs around the same table every month to make better decisions, build stronger companies, and lead the way Jesus leads. I'm John, and I have the privilege of chairing two Convene teams, one in Sacramento and one in the East Bay.
Business performance. Eternal impact.
Meet John Fanous
Your company matters to God. People depend on you. Decisions land on your desk that no one else can make. Your spouse likely hears a lot from you. But your team can't fully share the burden with you.
So you carry it alone.
Half of CEOs report experiencing loneliness in their role. Of those, 61% believe it hinders their performance.
Nearly two-thirds of CEOs receive no external coaching or outside perspective on their leadership, even though nearly 100% report being open and receptive to it.
It's difficult when there's no one at your level who shares your faith and knows your numbers. There's a better way to lead. It starts with a table.
Ten to fifteen Christian CEOs and business owners. One full day a month. One confidential room. No competitors.
What membership includes
The growth is real. But most members will tell you the bigger change is who they're becoming.
The Founder's Evolution. Where you are on this path shapes what your company needs from you next.
I'm a certified Predictable Success practitioner. In your monthly One2One, that gives you access to a framework and toolset most coaches don't have:
You get the strategic rigor of an executive coach, the shared faith of a peer forum, and a framework that tells us both exactly where you are. All inside one membership.
I spent twenty years in pastoral leadership and have a heart for organizational leaders. I know what it's like to be the one everyone leans on, to make the hard calls, and to go home with no one who quite understands what it's like.
That's why I do this. Christian leaders thrive when shaped by a strong peer community.
In addition to Convene, I serve with The Barnabas Group, where I coach and facilitate for ministry leaders presenting to Christian business leaders in the East Bay. I'm also the author of The Evening Habit: Win Your Morning the Night Before, a small daily practice for leaders who want to show up as their best self for the people who need them.
Do you want a mini-experience of a Convene forum? Taste of Convene is a 90-minute virtual gathering for Christian CEOs and Business Leaders who want to see how a Convene forum works. You’ll experience an authentic, facilitated conversation around leadership, decision-making, and purpose. This is a “taste” by design, just enough to experience the environment, the people, and the impact of a Convene Peer Advisory Team.
