Achieve tangible results and personal growth
As part of the world’s largest network of CEOs and business owners. We’ve secured some of the best leadership coaches and mentors across Australia and New Zealand. As a member, you gain access to a dedicated executive coach and mentor known as a ‘ Vistage Chair‘.
Our Chairs guide group sessions using a proven framework, ensuring discussions remain purposeful, focused and productive. Additionally, Chairs conduct one-to-one executive coaching and mentoring sessions unpacking unique challenges and opportunities to achieve leadership growth and a work/life balance.
Why our CEO coaches stand out.
Our core strength and effectiveness of the Vistage experience lies in our carefully selected executive coaches and mentors.
Our Chairs stand apart from a typical business coach. While anyone can pursue a career as an executive coach, not everyone possesses the qualities to become a Vistage Chair.
How do we recruit the top leadership coaches?
Our Chairs are highly experienced senior leaders with 12-15+ years of experience as the primary decision-maker within the business. They come with strong business acumen, outstanding management skills and an innate entrepreneurial spirit.
They understand the intricacies of leading leaders and empowering senior executives to reach new levels of success because they’ve walked that path themselves.
Vistage Chairs are selected through a robust recruiting process and continually participate in on-going learning. This distinctive approach has been the catalyst for leadership success for over 65 years.
What qualifies a Chair to lead you and your group?
The Vistage experience:
Part of it centres around your group of trusted peers, and the other part is just between you and your Chair.
