Frequently asked questions
A Vistage peer advisory group is made up of carefully selected CEOs and business owners from non-competing industries, providing a trusted forum for unbiased feedback. The group is led by an executive mentor and coach (Vistage Chair) who facilitates group discussions and drives accountability. It provides a confidential, sounding board to troubleshoot issues, test out ideas, and identify blind spots and opportunities, supporting executive development.
At Vistage, we understand the value of dedicating time to the bigger picture. That’s why our members commit to collaborating with their peer advisory group. This unique opportunity allows business leaders to focus on the strategic vision of their company while addressing any obstacles that may hinder progress.
During group meetings, our Vistage Chairs facilitate discussions using our proprietary method.
