How to choose a guide
- Certification level. Confirm the certification on their profile matches the official roster, and ask how long they have held it.
- Industries served. Ask for two examples of companies like yours and what changed in the first year.
- References from both seats. Talk to a Visionary and an Integrator they have guided. The two seats experience a guide very differently.
- In person or virtual. Most run sessions online and travel for key days. Decide what your leadership team actually needs.
- Fit with your leadership team. One session will tell you. The right guide makes the hardest conversation in the room easier, not softer.
Common questions
What is the difference between EOS and Pinnacle?
EOS gives every company the same fixed toolkit, run by the book. Pinnacle keeps the discipline but lets a guide tailor the tools to your business. First system: usually EOS. After a few years on EOS: Pinnacle is the common graduation.
What does Unclaimed mean on a profile?
The guide is listed from a public certification directory but has not yet claimed the profile. You can still contact them through their own website. Claimed profiles show more detail and can carry client reviews.
What does the first year with a guide in Iowa usually involve?
Roughly five full session days spread across the year for EOS, or quarterly planning sessions plus coaching for Scaling Up, Pinnacle and System & Soul. The leadership team does the work between sessions; the guide teaches and facilitates.
