If you're like most successful CEOs and senior executives, you are passionate about growing as a leader and making your company better. You also want to make a lasting impact but are not sure how best to accomplish that. You know you don't have all the answers. You want advice. But who can you trust?
Successful leaders find trusted, agenda-free advice in my Vistage CEO peer groups. Members get confidential, honest feedback from successful peers running non-competing businesses.
As a result members grow as leaders. They build better teams that outperform their competition. [Dunn & Bradstreet reports that Vistage members grow 2.2 times faster than average small businesses].
​
Members find they have more time to invest in what's most important to them: fulfilling their potential/purpose and strengthening their most important relationships.
​
If you are a CEO, owner or senior executive tired of trying to do it alone, thinking there's a better way but not knowing who to turn to for agenda-free advice, let's talk. Contact me for a confidential exploratory conversation.
