When I was running my first business in the 90s, I felt isolated. I was searching for insights from other leaders who were traveling the same path. I found what I was looking for in Vistage, an executive peer advisory group. I learned firsthand the value of outside perspectives. As an entrepreneur working in a highly competitive industry, the support and insight I received were instrumental to the success of my company. I wasn't alone; every member of the group grew and learned to make better decisions, embracing visions bigger than any of us could have orchestrated on our own.Now, 25 years and 3 successful business launches later, my former fellow advisory group members are still my greatest supporters and toughest critics, my catalysts for continuous growth. I am sharing the gift my advisors gave to me by becoming the leader of 3 Vistage chief executive and small business groups of my own. Serving as a Vistage Chair and advising business leaders across the US is my calling. I’m passionate about helping executives become better leaders and happier humans. Being a Vistage member improves the lives of more than 40,000 leaders nationwide each year. Every time a member walks into a meeting, they learn from the national speakers as well as one another. Members often talk about an insight they gain during a meeting as a "bolt of inspiration" that sparks an idea that supercharges their growth and transforms their organization.The old adage rings true: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Vistage groups help leaders go farther, faster. Non-competing CEOs, Presidents and senior execs work on each other’s thorniest issues and explore their greatest opportunities. Vistage groups have a 60+ history of success. D&B data reveals Vistage member companies grow 2.2x faster than average small to midsize businesses, doing even better during economic downturns.If you're wondering if Vistage is right for you, let's talk. We're not looking to make believers, we're looking for leaders who believe the same things we do and who are:• Committed to lifelong learning and leadership development• Dedicated to growing their business and their community• Receptive to feedback from peers in other industries • Willing to respectfully challenge the views of other members• Devoted to improving their business and personal relationshipsIf that describes you, I can be reached at ginny.gilbert@vistagechair.com.
