I've been looking for a path to pay forward on my 4 decades of growth as a senior leader, business strategist, and brand builder, and I've found that path with Vistage. Through the Vistage Chair program, I've been learning how to channel my skills to lead peer groups of CEOs and business owners from non-competing businesses to trust one another, open up, learn from and help one another solve their knottiest problems. The wealth of talent in these groups combined with Vistage's 67 years of proven methodology provides a safe and vital space for members to open themselves to authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty. This binds the group together and helps develop individual members into better leaders who make better decisions and drive better results. The bottom line? Dun & Bradstreet data shows Vistage members grow their companies 2.2x faster than non-members regardless of market conditions. In 2020, average member companies grew revenue by 4.6% while non-member companies saw a revenue decrease of 4.7%.

Help Lightning helps organizations reduce costs and increase productivity through remote video collaboration. Our patented technology uses mobile merged reality to create a virtual interactive presence. Merging two real-time video streams allows an expert to virtually reach out and touch what their service tech or customer is working on. This ability to be “hands-on” from a remote location accelerates and simplifies the way knowledge is exchanged and problems are solved. Using existing mobile devices (iOS, Android), experts can now visually collaborate with a colleague or customer as though they were working side-by-side. You can telestrate, freeze images, use hand gestures, pictures, and even add real objects into the merged reality environment. With Help Lightning, service experts can show a resolution, not just describe it, even thousands of miles away.Learn more at helplightning.com or download the App from the App Store or Google play.
