Rodney Frost – The Lamson Group Vistage member

‘I wanted a place where I could go and learn and invest in my own personal and professional development. I didn’t really know that I needed it at the time, but having a non-executive board that would hold me accountable and give me a place to present ideas and work through challenges together is something that I’ve found invaluable on my business journey.’

Rodney Frost

CEO of The Lamson Group

Sara Blunt Kalyra Communities Vistage member

‘As a CEO, I’m fortunate enough to have a board to report to, which helps with business direction and growth. Being able to complement this with a pool of people at the same level as me across various industries inspires me to be creative, provides me with a safe place to bounce ideas and always offers a fresh perspective for me to consider.’

Sara Blunt

CEO of Kalyra Communities

Managing Director of Beechworth Bakery

‘Before joining Vistage, our business grew rapidly but struggled with people issues, structure, and profitability. Now, four years later, profitability has doubled, and our business is stronger and less reliant on me. Interacting with like-minded leaders in my group has shown me better ways to succeed. Joining Vistage requires commitment, readiness to change, and effort, but the results are clear.’
