MEMBERS ARE ON A CLIMB EVERY DAY. They want to elevate their businesses, their leadership,their employees and their lives. No one promised it was going to be easy. Like climbing MountEverest, it’s the challenge of a lifetime — complete with twists and turns, obstacles andopportunities. They’re carrying a lot on their backs, and it’s not a journey for everyone … but ifthey have enough grit and commitment, they can ascend summits they never dreamedpossible. And in doing so, they will not only plant flags on their dreams, they will lift up theircompanies, their communities and everyone around them.Their best chance of reaching those peaks? An experienced guide who knows the lay of theland, a trusted team of peers who’ve got their back and world-class resources that keep themon course in any environment. In other words, Vistage. And specifically — your peer advisorygroup CEOs and business owners make decisions, daily, that influence their clients, employees, and industry in a way that no one else does. Often those decisions are made in isolation; without insight or multiple perspectives. For more than 25 years, I have passionately built, expanded and energized a variety of businesses with a focus on strong leadership and team building. I recognized early on that, to be successful as a leader, I needed to draw on the perspective of others and continually expand my business acumen to be the best leader possible.As an encourager and active listener, I leverage Vistage's CEO peer advisory format to help CEOs and small business owners find objective, next-level results for their companies, their teams and themselves. The peer advisory experience is a place where committed, life-long learners give and receive feedback, encourage and hold their fellow members accountable to personal and professional growth and results. For more than 60 years and with more than 25,000 members across 19 countries, Vistage members grow 2.2x faster than average small and midsize U.S. businesses with improved judgment, refined instincts, and expanded perspectives.
