How Vistage works
1. Confidential peer advisory groups.
At the heart of the Vistage experience is your confidential peer advisory group. Each month, you meet with a group of peers from non-competing businesses to work through real challenges and opportunities.
Together, you get structured, unbiased feedback and practical insights you can rely on when making important decisions.
2. One-to-one executive coaching with your Vistage Chair.
As a member, you meet one-to-one with your Vistage Chair, who provides confidential executive coaching tailored to your goals, priorities and leadership development.
Your Chair also facilitates your peer group meetings, creating a structured environment for open discussion, different perspectives and practical advice as you work through real business decisions and opportunities.
3. Insights from subject matter experts
Our expert speakers and events give you access to practical expertise across leadership, strategy, people and business performance, with ideas you can put into practice.
