The CEO University Launches in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties: Executive Organization to Host Information and Networking Sessions in New SoCal Markets

Seal Beach, CA, September 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The CEO University (CEOU), a new executive organization that uniquely melds corporate culture with financial success, is launching in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties. In each of these new markets, CEOU will host networking and information sessions for local executives and entrepreneurs, beginning in Westlake Village, Calif. on Sept. 13.

As the only executive organization to use corporate culture as a foundation for financial success, CEOU employs a peer group model to equip business leaders with the needed skills to build strong cultures, grow their business and achieve work/life balance. Each “Power Group” is led by a proven business executive with extensive leadership experience who has completed a rigorous CEOU training program.

CEOU is also the first organization of its kind to use advanced metrics to measure both the financial and cultural progress of its members.

“When companies have a strong corporate culture, people want to work for them. And good companies are the byproduct of good people, which translates into increased revenue and growth,” said Gary Takacs, founder of the CEO University. “Participants in our Power Groups learn valuable leadership skills through proactive mentoring, monthly group sessions and accountability with likeminded peers from a breadth of industries.”

Takacs has more than 30 years of experience as a business leader, executive coach and turnaround expert, including facilitating CEO groups for the largest business leadership and training organization in the U.S. Previously, he held executive positions in the manufacturing, retail and R&D industries, overseeing repositioning, expansion and acquisition efforts that led to sustainable growth.

The networking and informational sessions will feature a presentation on “The Six Critical Tools for Achieving Success with Your Business” by Takacs, and participants will have an opportunity to network, meet the group chairs and learn more about the CEOU program.
