TAB Low Country

Running a business can be rewarding—but also isolating. That’s where The Alternative Board (TAB) comes in. TAB connects business owners, CEOs, and key leaders in non-competing industries to exchange insight, accountability, and proven strategies for sustainable success.

In the Lowcountry of South Carolina and the Coastal Empire of Georgia, Peter Brougham-Cook has become a trusted resource for entrepreneurs who want to strengthen their leadership, sharpen their strategy, and grow their businesses with confidence.

Peter brings more than four decades of global consulting and executive experience to the region, helping local business owners turn big visions into actionable plans through TAB’s peer advisory boards and executive coaching programs.

What is The Alternative Board?

TAB members join small, confidential groups of peers—typically 8–10 business owners from non-competing industries—to discuss challenges, share insights, and hold one another accountable. Each group is guided by a certified TAB facilitator like Peter Brougham-Cook, who ensures every session produces practical solutions and strategic clarity.

TAB’s Core Offerings Include:

• Monthly Peer Advisory Board Meetings — Gain diverse perspectives from fellow business owners who understand your challenges.

• One-on-One Executive Coaching — Work privately with Peter to set goals, prioritize actions, and navigate complex leadership decisions.

• Strategic Business Planning Tools — Use TAB’s Business Builder’s Blueprint and StratPro system to align teams and plan long-term growth.

• TAB Connect — Access a worldwide network of thousands of business owners ready to offer insight and support.

• Hi-MAP Implementation — Strengthen communication and leadership structure within your company through customized workshops.

TAB members in the Lowcountry and Coastal Empire consistently report stronger leadership performance, healthier company cultures, and faster, more sustainable growth.
