Vistage: CEO & Executive Coaching. Since 1957, Vistage has been bringing together successful CEOs, executives and business owners into private peer advisory groups guided by expert executive coaches, known as Vistage Chairs.
From the beginning, our Chairs have been at the heart of what makes the Vistage experience so powerful for so many members. Vistage Chairs are a distinguished group of business leaders who come to us from a wide range of industries. Some have owned businesses, many have been CEOs of domestic and international companies, and all are united by a desire to share their insight and expertise with other business leaders in their communities through executive business coaching.
It all starts with the group
Put twelve or so high performing business executives in a room, and the potential is enormous. Each Vistage group is specifically tailored to CEOs, small business owners, key executives, or trusted advisors. They're purpose-built so that members can help each other to solve their most pressing business concerns through a process we call peer advisory. More than 18,000 members across the globe count on the peers in their Vistage group to provide fresh perspectives and new ideas at every monthly meeting.
An expert guides the meetings
The role of a Vistage Chair is to ensure that every bit of their group's experience and wisdom is applied in a Vistage meeting. Chairs are accomplished leaders. You can call them a CEO coach, but they are so much more than that. They are totally committed to the success of group members. Through their executive coaching services, they help stimulate thinking, frame issues, guide discussions, and ensure accountability in the group. Vistage Chairs take on the role with the express purpose of helping others build great businesses.
Take action and get results
During meetings, and in their private one-to-one sessions each month, Chairs encourage and support members' personal and professional growth, and hold members accountable for taking action on their goals. They help to develop their members and give back the knowledge they have earned through their outstanding careers as CEOs, executives, and business owners.
