Deepening Your C-Suite Relationships — Avnir University
Avnir UniversityLive, six weeksStarts June 2026

Deepening Your
C-Suite Relationships.

Six one-hour sessions for advisors, partners, and revenue leaders who are tired of being the trusted advisor — and ready to be the trusted confidant.

This is not networking training. It's institutional relationship strategy — the same curriculum David Nour delivers privately to global advisory and consulting firms.

Why this series

You've earned a seat at the table. You haven't earned the call before the meeting.

01 · The blind spot

You're mapping org charts. Your competition is mapping influence.

The CEO isn't the only voice in the room. The Chair, the Chief of Staff, the long-tenured EA — they shape the calendar and the narrative. If you can't see them, you can't reach them.

02 · The leakage

Your firm's relationship capital walks out the door every time a partner retires.

Senior relationships live in inboxes and memory. When your top rainmaker leaves, $2M in relationship capital walks with them — unless you've institutionalized it.

03 · The ceiling

Trusted advisor is not the destination. Trusted confidant is.

Trusted advisors are called for the project. Trusted confidants are called before the project. Different access. Different economics. Different career.

The 6-week curriculum

One hour a week. Six lenses on executive trust and influence.

From org chart to influence system
The shift this series teaches

From org chart to influence system.

Decisions are rarely made where authority sits. The work of these six weeks is to make the real web of influence visible — advisors, board members, trusted operators, the people who shape decisions you never see.

01
Week 1Why This Matters Now + The Executive Agenda

Set the stakes. What's actually on the C-suite agenda in 2026 — capital efficiency, AI bets, regulatory drag, succession — and where strategic advisors win or lose access to it. Define what a relationship of consequence really means for your business.

  • Trusted advisor vs. trusted confidant: the access gap
  • What erodes trust at the CEO and Chair level
  • Pick one relationship of consequence to work for six weeks

Week 2Relationships of Consequence

From mapping org charts to mapping executive influence ecosystems. Build the C-Suite Influence Matrix — formal authority, informal influence, decision velocity, political alignment, single-threaded risk.

  • Move beyond “supporter vs detractor”
  • Score access depth, trust velocity, reciprocity balance
  • Surface the hidden operators — Chief of Staff, EA, long-tenured board member

  • Executive listening & board-level synthesis
  • Strategic curiosity that elevates thinking
  • Influence without dependence — multi-node trust

Common questions

Logistics, briefly.

When does it start?

June or July 2026. We'll lock the start date and time-of-day with participants once registration closes — we want a slot that works for the majority across time zones.

What's the format?

Six live, one-hour sessions over six consecutive weeks. Live on Zoom, recorded for participants. A short workbook lab follows each session and is reviewed in the next.

Who is this for?

If you currently sell or want/need to enhance the way you engage and influence C-Suite leaders, this series is both a great refresher, as well as Nour's introduction into a unique Relationship Economics® lens.

Where does the curriculum come from?

Adapted from highly customized, global programs David Nour delivers for private clients, these 6-session series deliver highly relevant and applicable content for participants to internalize and apply in their respective businesses.

What if I miss a session?

Every live session is recorded and posted to Avnir University within 24 hours, alongside the workbook and any peer notes. The AVNIR Forum runs the full six weeks so you can catch up async.

How do I claim the free seat for existing Avnir customers?

One form, one flow. Register with your work email and we'll route you automatically — existing Early Access/Design Partner customers go straight to Avnir University with the seat comped; everyone else continues to the Avnir Store to choose a tier.

Can I expense this?

Yes. Receipts and a one-page program description are emailed at registration. The series qualifies as professional development under most firm policies.
