Peer advisory, one-to-one coaching, and a proven process for working through your real business issues — so you think clearly, act decisively, and grow with people who have your back.
As a San Diego Vistage Chair, I help CEOs and business owners make better decisions, gain trusted perspective, and grow with greater clarity and accountability. Through peer advisory, one-to-one coaching, and a proven process for tackling real business issues, Vistage gives leaders a confidential room where they can think clearly, act decisively, and stop carrying the weight of leadership alone.
Vistage is a powerful tool for improving business decision-making and accelerating professional and personal growth. It’s the world’s largest executive coaching organization — and it’s been helping small and midsize businesses make a great big impact since 1957.
Same model, different rooms. Find the one built for where you are.
For leaders who want to grow profitability, sharpen decision-making, strengthen their leadership team, and build a company that doesn’t depend on them for every answer. A confidential room of peers who understand the weight of the seat — and will challenge you to think clearly, act decisively, and stay accountable to the work that matters.
For the owner ready to become a stronger, more disciplined leader. We focus on the practical work — leadership, accountability, execution, and growth — that builds a solid foundation for the next stage of the company. The goal: a healthier business, and a leader who isn’t carrying it alone.
Work through your real decisions, challenges, and opportunities with a group of experienced peer CEOs who have no conflict of interest.
Private monthly sessions with your Chair — and whenever else you need them.
Subject-matter experts speaking on the topics that matter most to CEOs and owners, at most meetings.
Ask and get answers from 45,000 Vistage members worldwide, on any topic, any time.
A continuous flow of webinars, conferences, podcasts, and articles — the information you need.
Ease the isolation. Get support from people who actually understand you.
As leaders, we make decisions — and lots of them. In my group we help members make better ones through a framework called Issue Processing. By asking deep questions to get to the root cause, we solve for the real problem, not the symptom. It saves time and produces better solutions.
Real leaders, real outcomes. Start with these three.
From founding member to San Diego’s 2025 Vistage Impact Award winner — the momentum and insight that sparked transformative change in his company.
Top biller at his firm, sure he had no time for a peer group — until he leaned on his peers to navigate the biggest decision of his career: selling.
Leads an outdoor adventure company. With the right people in his corner — financing, legal, guidance through a bi-coastal acquisition — he doubled its size.
Leads a growing IP law firm — on the dividends of how he invests his time.
A founding member on how Vistage shaped his journey.
On finding the resources to meet the daily challenges of leading.

A few members answer one question: why did you show up to Vistage today?
All of that sounds serious — but Vistage is also great fun. The business relationships forge quickly into deep friendships with talented, passionate, committed, hilarious people. Precisely the ones you’d gladly hang out with. And probably will.
Each group sets its own standards and holds each other accountable. Every member is expected to contribute — what you put in, you get back in multiples. A team mindset is critical: only team players fit into a Vistage group.
We get you integrated fast. Jim schedules a 90-minute one-to-one with you when you join and covers everything you need to know. You’re paired with another member for your first month, so you’ve always got a resource close by.
