Derek Campbell is the founder of the Executive Circle, a community designed for business owners looking to move from operator to CEO. Campbell first spoke to us a few years ago in a series of interviews about insurance. A stuffy subject that he made fascinating. Years later, that content is still available and visited on wclk.com. Campbell joins us to speak about a new opportunity. The Vector Summit is taking place on Saturday, February 7th, at the Hilton Peachtree City Convention Center from 10AM - 2PM.
I know Campbell to be a busy man; he’s an entrepreneur with a family who has acted as a “caregiver.” Because of this, I asked him how and why he decided to create this platform for entrepreneurs and executives looking to reach the CEO plateau. Campbell speaks about being a successful entrepreneur for the last 50 years. He shares that most entrepreneurs are juggling a few balls and that he wanted to share the skills he has learned to move from being an operator to a leader
Campbell shares that “lonely entrepreneurs” are “near and dear” to his heart. The Executive Circle is a place for them to find clarity, structure, systems, and accountability. He also emphasizes that there is power in mentorship. They have monthly discussions in a safe place with like-minded people.
The Vector Summit will be an annual event to provide opportunities to speak with people who are where you want to be. He speaks about moving beyond growth to scaling beyond your capacity with systems.
