Every January, goal-setting feels electric. New calendars. Fresh motivation. Big intentions. And then… life happens. By February or March, most goals don’t fail because we lack desire. They fail because we lack systems, self-trust, and patience with the process. I’ve learned this the hard way across music, business, health, and personal growth. What keeps me […]

Choose Your Poison? https://ceoworld.biz/2026/01/12/choose-your-poison/ Tue, 13 Jan 2026 03:52:20 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=259092 board meeting

What if the most powerful salesman in the world was promoting a mixture of tariffs, tantrums, and tactical narcissism instead of philosophy, innovation, or democracy? A single, ridiculous question is being posed to the global marketplace in a time when planning passes for spontaneity and forethought is replaced by “X” storms: Which poison would you prefer to drink — mine […]

The New York Stock Exchange recently announced that NYSE Texas has reached a milestone of 100 dual listings, representing over $2 trillion in market capitalization.

When ‘Purpose’ goes too far https://ceoworld.biz/2026/01/11/when-purpose-goes-too-far/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 03:44:38 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=259040 Dr. Joe Zammit-Lucia

In 2023, Coutts, a British bank and part of the NatWest group, closed the bank account of Nigel Farage, a prominent UK political figure and now leader of Reform UK. While initially arguing that the closure was for commercial reasons, it subsequently emerged that Farage’s political views were an important factor in the bank wanting to remove him as a client. The episode […]

Why Curiosity Gets Punished at the Top https://ceoworld.biz/2026/01/11/why-curiosity-gets-punished-at-the-top/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 03:27:52 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=259038 Dr. Debra Clary

Most leaders say they value curiosity. Most organizations say they reward it. The data—and lived experience—suggest otherwise. In executive teams across industries, curiosity is often praised in theory and penalized in practice. Leaders encourage people to “think differently,” yet when decisions need to be made quickly, questions are treated as friction. Exploration feels risky. Certainty gets rewarded. This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s a […]

Nature Is the Ultimate Teacher for Building Adaptive, Thriving Organizations https://ceoworld.biz/2025/12/22/nature-is-the-ultimate-teacher-for-building-adaptive-thriving-organizations/ Mon, 22 Dec 2025 23:11:04 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=258711 Stuart J. Green

In an Oregon forest, a single honey mushroom colony stretches across nearly four square miles. Weighing an estimated 35,000 tons and surviving for thousands of years, it is one of the largest and oldest living organisms on Earth. Its longevity offers a powerful lesson for modern leaders: the most durable and adaptive organizational models are not found in […]

Should You Use a Donor Advise Fund (DAF) After 2025 Market Rally https://ceoworld.biz/2025/12/21/should-you-use-a-donor-advise-fund-daf-after-2025-market-rally/ Mon, 22 Dec 2025 02:33:14 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=258667 Board meeting

There are two weeks left before we close the books on 2025, and that still may be enough time for some last-minute tax planning. Barring a late collapse, the stock market is poised to have enjoyed its third consecutive year of strong performance. The S&P 500 is up roughly 16% year-to-date at the time of this writing. The index could possibly post back-to-back-to-back 20%+ year returns for a […]

The Productivity Bridge: Why Results Permit Groups & Teams to Expect More https://ceoworld.biz/2025/12/20/the-productivity-bridge-why-results-permit-groups-teams-to-expect-more/ Sun, 21 Dec 2025 01:10:44 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=258598 Leo Bottary

For years, Harvard Business School Professor and best-selling author Amy Edmondson’s research on psychological safety has given leaders a powerful lens for understanding team performance. Edmondson’s well-known 2×2 model, which shows psychological safety and accountability not as opposing forces, but as necessary partners, clearly illustrates where high performance lives: the Learning Zone. She characterizes it as the optimal environment where teams have both high […]

A New Era for Global Investment Migration: New Zealand has redefined its approach to attracting global capital through the introduction of the Active Investor Plus (AIP) Visa—a sophisticated residency-by-investment framework tailored for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and global investors. Introduced in 2025, the AIP Visa modernizes and replaces the earlier Investor Visa categories, streamlining access for serious capital while tightening oversight […]

How the Ultra-Wealthy Are Quietly Redefining Elite Education https://ceoworld.biz/2025/12/18/how-the-ultra-wealthy-are-quietly-redefining-elite-education/ Fri, 19 Dec 2025 01:28:36 +0000 https://ceoworld.biz/?p=258535 Dr. Werner Krings

Most elite universities still believe their greatest asset is their name. In conversations with ultra-high-net-worth families around the world, a different reality is emerging. “My time is my most valuable capital,” one next-generation heir told us. “I need education that multiplies it — not just certifies it.” That sentence captures a fundamental shift. For today’s wealthiest […]
