What is Vistage?
Vistage is a powerful tool for improving business decision-making and accelerating professional and personal growth. Vistage is the place not so much to get answers to your questions, as much as to get your answers challenged.

We are a Community
All of that sounds very serious but Vistage is also great fun. The business relationships we forge quickly become deep friendships with talented, passionate, committed, hilarious people—precisely the individuals you’d gladly “hang out with” (and probably will).

Lead a Life of Climb
The journey to true leadership isn’t easy. Like climbing Denali, K2 or Everest, it’s the challenge of a lifetime. It’s for those with enough grit and commitment to do what only a few can do.
While each CEO’s journey up the mountain is their own…They don’t have to do it alone.
While your next leadership peak is yours to define, our process helps you get there.

Vistage Helps Small & Midsize Businesses Make a Great Big Impact
Small and midsize businesses are the engines of our economy and the lifeblood of our communities. They make life safer, easier, sweeter, better. Vistage proudly salutes the CEOs who run these companies, which account for more than 90% of our nation’s workforce. We’re here to support business leaders every step of the way— with a trusted group of peers, an accomplished mentor, and a proven approach to leadership that has withstood the test of time. In fact, we’ve been helping SMALL and MIDSIZE businesses make a GREAT BIG impact since 1957.
What's The Secret Sauce of Vistage?
As leaders we all need to make decisions. . . . and lots of them. In my group we help our members make better decisions through our framework called "Issue Processing." By asking questions to get to the root cause, we solve for the real problem not the symptom. This saves time and achieves better solutions. This is our secret sauce. What is the decision, opportunity or challenge that you would like perspective on?

What are the expectations?
Each Vistage group sets their own standards and holds each other accountable. Each member is expected to contribute. What you put in you will get back in multiples. A team mindset is critical: Only team players will fit into a Vistage group.
