PEER GROUPS
Upon joining Cabal you’ll be carefully placed in a peer group of 8-9 founders and CEOs, handpicked just for you and guided by an experienced facilitator.
Over time, the relationships you form with your Cabal buddies will become some of the most trusted and valued relationships you have.
Cabals are carefully curated by location, bringing together leaders who can show up for each other in person. Members come from a range of industries, which brings fresh perspectives and keeps the group from becoming an echo chamber.
We have peer groups forming across the UK, with new groups launching regularly.
GROWTH RETREAT
Each year, your peer group will escape to an amazing countryside venue for Growth Retreat.
This is an opportunity to pause, lay out your plans for the year ahead and to set yourself goals to which you'll be held accountable.
Expect to engage in challenging conversations with your cabal buddies and get to know each other on a truly deeper level.
MEMBERSHIP INCLUSIONS
There are three pillars to your Cabal membership benefits, all of which are fully included in your membership.
01 MONTHLY MEETINGS
CAREFULLY CURATED. EXPERTLY CHAIRED.
Your monthly meeting is the cornerstone of membership. You’ll be placed into a carefully curated group of 8-9 founders and CEOs, meeting monthly for three hours, with a strict agenda so you leave with actionable insights every time.
Meetings are facilitated by an experienced Chair and our playbook ensures members speedily get to a place of considered, authentic discussion.
Honest challenge, shared experience and different perspectives will help you make better decisions and move forward with confidence.
02 GROWTH RETREAT
GO DEEPER. THINK BIGGER.
Each year your Cabal escapes to a beautiful countryside venue for 2 days and one night.
This is your opportunity to present your plan for the year, priorities and key challenges. Your Cabal buddies will ask probing questions, helping you challenge your thinking and get to know your peers on a deeper level.
03 COMMUNITY
YOUR CABAL GOES BEYOND THE ROOM.
Connect with the broader Cabal membership community through an exclusive programme of events and direct peer channels.
Through our ‘Power of 5’, our community management team will make curated introductions to connect you with members outside your peer group.
Our WhatsApp community keeps you in touch between events, giving you more people to learn from, more experience to draw on and more opportunities to support each other.
KEY PRINCIPLES
Cabals can craft many of the Ground Rules that govern their peer group. In addition there are three Key Principles that apply to all members Cabal-wide.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Conversations that happen within your cabal are not to be shared with anyone outside your cabal. Strict observance of confidentiality is essential to ensure your cabal is a safe space to share authentically.
NON-SOLICITATION
Cabal is not the place for self-promotion or business lead generation. In fact we insist that members don't actively try to sell to other members.
SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE
Nobody knows your business better that you do, so our members focus on sharing direct, lived experiences rather than telling each other what to do.
BACKED BY RESEARCH
Evidence is clear that there are significant benefits for founders by being part of a well run peer group.
In particular, a recent HBR article states that peer support groups can foster growth by providing founders with a space to share their challenges confidentially. The groups help leaders learn from each other's experiences, reducing isolation and improving self-awareness. The study emphasises that well-structured peer groups can help individuals become more resilient, gain actionable insights, and support business success through shared accountability.
