Transform Your Performance

Hyper-achieving CEOs and senior executives know that performance matters. But for many, defining exactly what performance is supposed to look like is a challenge, let alone measuring it, developing the necessary skill sets, and deriving deeper satisfaction from increased performance. This is an even bigger challenge for business leaders preparing for retirement.

My name is John Furth and I help clients deal with day-to-day issues, challenges, and opportunities with less stress, more confidence, and better results. Through two frameworks I’ve developed, “The Owning Tomorrow Performance Model” and “The Six Plus Two P’s of Leadership”, clients discover the importance of accountability, maintaining discipline and good habits, and starting a virtuous cycle of continuous learning.

But the work doesn’t end there. At some point, my clients’ confidence, courage, and commitment increase to such an extent that they find themselves able to achieve greater things than they originally thought. When that happens, they have taken an important first step to transformation, a journey that becomes more exciting and rewarding every day.

Introducing Myself

Armed with an undergraduate degree from Harvard and an MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business, I became a management consultant for CEOs and their leadership teams at large multinational corporations. When, after 15 years, I became a CEO myself – albeit of small companies – I discovered that my experience as a corporate consultant was even more valuable for leaders of small companies looking to grow themselves and their businesses.

Thus, at the age of 56, I transformed myself into an Executive Coach Chair in NYC, working with CEOs and owners of small and medium-sized companies. As a logical next step, I recently decided to start a new business – Executives Over 50 – helping former executives design post-corporate lives that are enjoyable and impactful.

I’m also a highly sought-after author and keynote speaker on subjects related to leadership, retirement, and business disruption. I estimate I have designed and run over 2000 workshops and in-person and virtual seminars for my clients as well as the general public.
