Explore the Seat

A seat is simple.
That's deliberate.

You don't need more programming. You need a smaller number of higher-quality inputs. A seat is six things — and one of them will pay for all of it.

The six components

01 · The Boardroom

An NDA-protected space for candid, real-time peer help on the hard stuff — layoffs, comp, restructures, board dynamics. "I have to lay off 20 people this week and I've never done it — how do I handle it?" Answers from people who've done it, within hours.

02 · Your monthly board meeting

90 minutes, every month, with the same 5–6 vetted peers. The hot seat rotates: introduce your problem, 20–30 minutes of questions, 60 minutes solving. Same group every month, so trust compounds.

03 · Expert sessions

One poll question a month: "What's your biggest challenge right now?" We find the expert solving it — often from 300+ former MPL guests — and host an off-the-record session. Questions submitted ahead; office hours after.

04 · MPL Concierge

Need an intro to a CPO who's run a PE-backed reorg? Gut-checking a board deck? We monitor the room and make targeted connections — plus a 1:1 with Daniel at onboarding and annually, and bookable office hours whenever you actually have a problem. You're never posting into the void.

05 · Speaking and visibility

Board members get first call for MPL podcast episodes, webinar panels, and newsletter features — reach with 15,000 listeners and 16,000 subscribers. Profile-building with the exact audience that hires People leaders.

06 · In-person events

One flagship gathering per year, plus small member dinners in key cities — both attached to MPL Live. Virtual for the work, in person for the bond.

Your first 30 days

From interview to your first board meeting in three weeks.

The interview

A conversation with Daniel: what you're navigating, what you'd bring to the room.

Onboarding

NDA signed. Competitors listed. Your priorities captured. Your monthly window locked.

Week one

A structured intro in the Boardroom, plus a proactive 1:1 peer intro from Daniel based on your stated priority.

Week three

Your first board meeting, with 5–6 peers matched on your priorities and your calendar.

The annual rhythm

Weekly
Hump Day Probs — one Wednesday prompt in the Boardroom. Real problems, real answers, under NDA.
Monthly
Your board meeting (live, 90 minutes) + the expert session, driven by the member poll.
Quarterly
The dinner circuit hits key cities.
Annually
The flagship gathering — in person, attached to MPL Live — and your 1:1 with Daniel.

Trust guardrails

The NDA

Signed at onboarding, before you post a word. What's said in the Boardroom stays in the Boardroom.

No direct competitors

Ever, in the same room. It's structural, not aspirational — and it's part of what you're paying for.

No solicitation

Nobody sells in the Boardroom. Nudge, warning, then the seat — in that order.

Dues are discussed in the interview. We don't publish member names or show you inside the room — confidentiality is the product.
