I’ve been involved in outstanding leadership groups dating back to my 4H and FFA days, and consider Vistage to be among the very best. This top peer advisory organization is a game-changer for people who want to build their companies while building the best version of themselves. I’m passionate about making a difference in peoples’ lives and very growth-minded after 35 years as an experienced executive in member-driven agricultural business organizations such as the World Ag Expo, Citrus Research Board, Coeur d’Alene Area Chamber of Commerce, and Raisin Administrative Committee. I generally found myself surrounded by a solid management team, well-intended/committed board members, attorneys, accountants, mentors, marketing experts, and other professional service providers. However, I was often the only CEO in the room. Everyone else had biases, predispositions, priorities, business interests and egos to consider. And, they all needed something from me: job security, the next promotion, a salary, a fee, a business relationship, or credit for solving the problem. What I really needed was to be treated as an equal in a confidential, objective peer group of CEO advisors with no other agenda than to help me with really tough decisions so I could become more effective, efficient, and successful.That’s where you come in – I’m inviting new members into my current Central Valley Vistage group and I’ll be launching another chief executive peer group later this year.I’m searching for high-integrity, non-competing CEOs and business owners with these leadership qualities:• a GROWTH mindset.• a passion about MAKING A DIFFERENCE in peoples’ lives.• an eagerness to LEARN FROM PEERS who are smarter than they are.Monthly group meetings and one-to-one coaching sessions equate to about 5% of your time with a life-changing ROI.
