The Alternative Board Perth City, WA – Stephen Pelosi

As the owner of The Alternative Board Perth City, I bring over 25 years of expertise in business administration, property, investment, and construction, rooted in four generations of family business ownership. With a natural drive for growth and profitability, I combine real-world experience with innovative thinking. My background spans startups to established businesses, with key strengths in strategic advisory, leadership, financial acumen, and property development. Private business is in my DNA.

Becoming part of The Alternative Board felt like a natural progression for me. I’ve always been a mentor and advisor, passionate about helping others thrive in their businesses, careers, and lives. The Alternative Board allows me to formalise my strategic advisory role, equipping me with a wealth of proprietary systems and insights to support business owners and their leadership teams to not just improve their business but also change their lives.

In coaching, I love helping business owners balance their professional success with personal fulfillment. I work together with the business owner to make critical business decisions, develop strategies, and seize opportunities for growth—all while fostering a culture of accountability and support. The Alternative Board’s peer board model, where business owners from non-competing fields come together to share experiences and insights, is truly transformative. This collaborative environment allows members to gain practical, hands-on advice they can apply immediately, building a strong sense of community and trust.

Outside of work, I love to cook for my family and friends, drawing from my Italian heritage. I’m passionate about property development and enjoy managing our family office and investment portfolio. Weekends are filled with quality time, from watching my daughter compete in swimming to cheering on my son in soccer and skateboarding. You’ll often find me in the kitchen making slow-fermented pizza dough, pasta, or traditional Pugliese dishes passed down from my Nonna.

To business owners considering The Alternative Board I would say this: don’t pursue success alone. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” With unmatched support in decision-making, strategy, and opportunity maximisation, The Alternative Board is the best model I’ve encountered in 25 years. Joining us isn’t just a business decision; it’s a choice for your future success and fulfillment.

“I have had repeated exposure to various business coaches over many years.

“As the sole director of Balance at Work, I appreciate the TAB concept. Networking groups do not provide this support and TAB provides an instant, structured way to get feedback and input.

Susan Rochester – Balance at Work

Our mentor and fellow board members hold us accountable for the goals and actions we share, so you want to make progress on them each month. Our Facilitator asks hard questions that we’ve been avoiding asking ourselves, ensuring we answer truthfully and then do something about it to head in the right direction. Joining The Alternative Board has kept us focused and given us techniques and tools to start guiding the business into the next phase.

“My role as a sole partner can be quite a lonely one – there is a lot that my family do not understand or appreciate. I’ve found TAB meetings to be positive and supportive. I now have greater confidence and optimism for future plans – knowing that I can venture forward and I can source feedback, support and guidance to give myself every chance to succeed.”

What does a membership with The Alternative Board include?

Business Advisory Boards

As a TAB Member, you’ll gain community, confidence and strategic clarity. You’ll join a carefully selected group of 8-10 peers in your area, coming from a range of non-competing industries. In these monthly, half-day sessions, you’ll get the kind of practical advice and objective perspective that you can’t get from employees, family or friends – helping you make better, faster decisions. By sharing accountability and informed feedback, you’ll gain the personal and professional momentum to confidently achieve your goals.

One-to-one Executive Coaching

Beyond your TAB Board, one-on-one coaching will help you leave conflict, stress and roadblocks behind. With an experienced coach in your corner, you’ll get the personalised guidance you need to make difficult choices and hone your leadership skills. Your coach can help you clarify your vision, prioritise goals, set long-term objectives, gain objective insight into leadership challenges and much more. You’ll be able to enjoy profits and weekends again.

Strategic Tools

With The Alternative Board, you’ll get access to proven strategic business planning tools focused on forming your vision for both a successful business and a fulfilling life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a TAB Board work?

In monthly, half-day meetings, you’ll gather with your peers to discuss challenges, set goals and provide feedback. Board meetings are led by a TAB Certified Facilitator Coach. Your Facilitator has a wide array of professional expertise and has been trained to lead and facilitate business owner advisory boards, helping to draw out issues, ask clarifying questions, and provide suggestions, ideas and advice.

Unlike traditional business meetings that many of us have experienced, a TAB Board gives everyone equal time – equal time to discuss and seek help on their own challenge or opportunity. No one will dominate the meeting or take up a disproportionate amount of time. Your facilitator will keep the meeting on track and ensure you get what you need out of each meeting.

How can I benefit from the opinions of those on the board?

The big decisions have been all on your shoulders. Until now. The business owners and leaders on your board bring decades of collective wisdom and experience to the table. They also will not have a vested interest in your business beyond a genuine desire to help you. As a result, they’ll give you impartial business advice based on real-world experience, since they likely will have faced similar challenges themselves. You also get to do the same for them. Not only does the board provide accountability and expert advice, it becomes a mechanism for developing valuable friendships and community.

I don’t have enough time for most things, so how will I have time for this?

TAB is designed for busy leaders. We’ll help you increase profits without increasing your workload. Our monthly meetings are only half-day and are expertly facilitated to ensure efficiency and value. You’ll gain the freedom to live the life you’ve been working for.

TAB’s carefully crafted services encourage you to take time away from your business. In stepping back briefly, you will benefit from the insight, experience, and wisdom of your TAB facilitator and your fellow Board members. You’ll gain the support and skills you need to make better, faster decisions and start reclaiming your time.

How will people from other industries be able to understand my unique business and help me with challenges and opportunities?

All businesses are unique in some way, but they still face many of the same major issues with time, people, strategy, money, vision and exit planning.

You are an expert in your sector, but everyone on your Board is an expert in business. The advantage of working with fellow business owners and leaders from diverse backgrounds is their ability to provide new perspectives and different ways to handle the same situation based on real world experience.

You will also get the opportunity to help others with their business growth by offering your perspective and advice. It’s a win-win!

What is the investment for a TAB membership?

We are confident you will get a return on investment for your monthly TAB membership fee. As we offer personalised business support services, a conversation with your nearest TAB facilitator will guide you through the process and allow them to provide you with your bespoke quote.

We’re so confident in our service that we offer a money-back guarantee – if you don’t feel you’ve received value after three months of TAB membership, we’ll give your money straight back.

Can a competitor join my board?

Put simply: no. We make sure a competitor cannot join your board. We have a comprehensive process that ensures you do not sit on a board with potential competitors. A key part of our screening process allows existing members to prevent new members from joining their board where they feel a conflict of interest could exist. This will guarantee no competitors join your group.

Can I attend a board before deciding to be a TAB member?

Some of our TAB facilitators offer the opportunity to attend a sample Board meeting, giving you the chance to experience how TAB works and the value it can provide for you and your business. Equally, if there are places on an existing Board and your facilitator thinks you’d be a good fit, they may invite you as a guest.
