The First and Only Virtual Leadership Peer Group in Canada

Leadership development built for complexity, delivered inside the rhythm of real business.

Fully virtual. National in scope. Designed for modern executives who lead across industries, markets, and regions.

Built for today’s business landscape — not adapted to it.

Why Leadership Development Needed a Redesign

Traditional leadership models haven’t kept pace with how modern leaders live and work.

→ Full-day, in-person sessions strain time-starved executives.

→ Local groups limit access to diverse industries, markets, and thinking.

→ Travel, logistics, and scheduling conflicts reduce consistency and impact.

Sterling Executive Peer Groups solves this.

We’ve rebuilt leadership development for the digital-first era—one where strategy, learning, and peer exchange are no longer limited by location, travel time, or outdated formats.

Virtual by Design. Backed by Neuroscience.

Virtual delivery isn’t the hard part. Designing sessions that sustain cognitive engagement and translate into lasting leadership behaviour is where we’ve engineered the difference.

Each Sterling session is intentionally structured to reflect how executive brains absorb complexity, sharpen decision-making, and build sustainable leadership habits.

The Strategic Advantage of Virtual-First Leadership Development

More reach. More perspectives. Less friction.

→ Pan-Canadian Reach — access to leaders from every region, sector, and market.

→ Time-Smart Leadership — zero commute, zero venue logistics, full engagement.

→ Elite Talent Access — world-class chairs, speakers, and experts, sourced globally and not limited by location.
Frictionless Confidentiality — safe dialogue outside local competitive circles.

→ Future-Ready Tradecraft — leaders practice virtual leadership inside their own learning.

Is Joining a Sterling Peer Group the Right Decision for You?

What Our Members Have to Say

“The benefit of the peer interaction in our monthly meetings is that you get an outside take on your business from people who aren’t involved in it day-to-day. They can see the blind spots that you may have. So when we can be open and vulnerable, you get really good feedback and advice from multiple unique perspectives. For example, I was describing a situation in which I got too involved in the day-to-day details. My peers “pushed without shoving”, asking questions like: “Why are you doing this? Does this belong to your role? Why aren’t you delegating?” This encouraged me to rethink my priorities and make a better decision for myself and my business.”

“My single biggest concern joining this group was finding the time, after a year in I believe I have line of sight on having more time available while having gained significant insights to both grow & improve our business. My comment to anyone considering joining is “you don’t have the time to not join”. I see many businesses including recent acquisition considerations where the law of the lid applies. Many businesses may even grow, often temporarily, to be bigger than the leader’s capability. If I had any reservations regarding confidentiality they have disappeared, we all sign confidentiality agreements and only need to share what we wish to share, more transparency leads to better learnings in a speed of trust atmosphere.”

“Sterling Executive Group is an inspiring network full of like-minded individuals committed to professional growth. The sharing of ideas within this group has been incredibly valuable, fostering an environment where learning and collaboration thrive. The sessions not only offer great learnings and practical takeaways but also feature a fantastic lineup of guest speakers covering various applicable business-oriented topics. This diverse exposure has significantly enhanced my professional journey. I highly recommend this executive community to leaders looking to expand their horizons and grow alongside top-tier peers.”
