I know first-hand the rewards and challenges of leading a small business. I was co-founder, executive leader, President & COO of a Denver-based digital marketing agency turned consultancy that I, along with our masterful colleagues, created, scaled, and evolved, building a high-performing community of subject matter experts primarily serving well-known e-commerce clients in retail, specialty retail, and direct-to-consumer brands.I enjoyed success, and learned from many failures or missteps, growing an agency from the ground up to a multi-million-dollar business. And, now, after 20 years as an executive, and a former Vistage member myself, I am focusing on returning the gift of a truly impactful peer advisory group to other executive leaders in need of a safe & confidential space to explore solutions to their most challenging issues and opportunities. My own Vistage peer group was an invaluable resource and source of energy and motivation when I was faced with our business challenges and opportunities as we scaled and evolved our agency.I am also a CEO coach for each of my members, providing ongoing, personalized support and a space to brainstorm and problem solve in a 1-on-1 setting.My mission as a Vistage Chair, CEO coach, facilitator, and business advisor is to enrich lives and leadership by inspiring, energizing, and tapping into talents. When better decisions are made, business thrives, innovates, and fosters sustainability and fulfillment for its owners and leaders, and in turn, for their community, and the next generation of learners & leaders.If you are interested in learning more about my Vistage groups, email mindy.phillips@vistagechair.com.
