I work with business leaders in the West Midlands developing their leadership skills and thus increasing their effectiveness and enhancing their lives.I work as a Vistage Chair, business coach and non executive director.How can I help?DECISION MAKING -GET TO THE RIGHT DECISION FASTER -who do you talk to when you have decisions to make? A peer group and Chair give an honest review of your ideas and concerns with no agenda other than to help each other succeed. Applying experienced minds from a variety of industries to a problem or opportunity gives creative solutions, creates energy and gives the confidence to take action more quickly with more commitment.IT CAN BE LONELY AT THE TOP- for many CEO's the sense of isolation can be stressful. Don't worry, there are plenty of other business leaders going through the same issues and dilemmas - share your ideas with non-competing business leaders and get their perspectives on your strategy and issues. GROWTH - MEMBER COMPANIES GROW 2.8 TIMES FASTER AFTER JOINING VISTAGE THAN THEY DID BEFORE (on average - Dun & Bradstreet) - Most MD's end up in the boss's chair by founding a business or climbing the functional route. But who gets properly trained to be a CEO? Yet you're meant to deliver from day one and employees expect you to have the answers. Members pick up ideas and tools from each other, their Chair and from our speakers.ACCOUNTABILITY - ACHIEVE YOUR REAL GOALS - who keeps you on track to the most important areas of your business and life apart from the person in the mirror? I hold your toes to the fire by keeping focus on the major issues when it is all too easy to get distracted by the day-to-day operational fire-fighting of business. CHANGE - is inevitable but growth is optional. A peer group is a forum that allows change and growth to occur in a safe, trusting and caring environment.
