Pillars of the Vistage Experience

CEO Peer Advisory Groups

CEO peer advisory groups are the core of Vistage. In a trusted, confidential setting unique to Vistage, executives from diverse, non-competing industries meet with peers to resolve pressing issues and seize new business opportunities.

These monthly discussions, facilitated by Vistage executive chairs, cover a wide variety of topics — from strategic planning all the way to key performance indicators.

Members applaud Vistage peer advisory groups as a sounding board to discuss concerns they don’t normally feel comfortable addressing to a board of directors or colleagues within their organizations.

CEO Coaching & Mentoring

As a Vistage member, your executive chair can be relied upon as a trusted business advisor. Often a former CEO, Vistage executive chairs provide one-on-one coaching regarding issues affecting your company.

During personal sessions, your CEO coach will offer objective advice, insight on industry trends, ways to establish short- and long-term goals, and most of all, support.

This singular focus on your specific needs results in greater professional growth, bottom-line results, and peace of mind.

Expert Speakers

Vistage expert speakers are thought leaders in all aspects of business and work-life balance. Our speakers conduct workshops to help you stay ahead of the competition and build a strong infrastructure for your company.

Members are given the opportunity to gain professional guidance, new ideas, and real-world learning from business experts in an interactive environment.

Expert speakers and interactive workshops create extraordinary learning experiences, with members gathering in a group setting to discuss topics of mutual interest.

Networking and Resources

Vistage members converge at local conferences to exchange ideas and connect with Vistage members and executive coaches beyond their own groups.

And every Vistage member belongs to an ever-expanding global network of more than 21,000 business leaders, expert speakers, Vistage executive chairs, and other professionals.

My Vistage private online community also allows members to post questions and receive guidance from the global Vistage network, as well as gain access to more than 5,000 searchable articles and audio-visual content, including thought-leader pieces, practical tips, case studies, and best practices.
