Rodney Frost
‘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.’
Jodie Hawkes
CEO of Bowhill Engineering
‘Vistage is my sanity check; for myself, our business and our community. I love the speakers, but even more I love the opportunity to delve deep into others issues which almost always leave me with my own take-away and opportunity for improvement.’
