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.’

Vistage members are CEOs, Managing Directors, senior executives, and business owners who want to think strategically and create lasting value. They use peer advisory groups and coaching to address challenges such as succession planning, talent management, business exit planning, value creation, and family business dynamics, while benefiting from peer insights and enhanced leadership skills.
Vistage carefully matches members to programs and peer groups based on industry, business size, leadership level, and strategic priorities. This ensures relevant perspectives, meaningful group discussions, and maximised value from executive coaching, helping members make better decisions, gain actionable insights, and accelerate both personal and business growth.
Vistage members discuss a wide range of real-world business challenges in peer advisory meetings, including economic uncertainty, rising costs, talent shortages, AI and digital transformation, and operational or supply chain issues. They also explore leadership, team development, growth strategy, and financial performance to gain insight, guidance, and actionable solutions.
Peer support accelerates business and personal growth by providing trusted advice, challenging assumptions, and broadening perspectives. CEOs and business owners gain confidence, improve decision-making, enhance leadership skills, and balance personal and professional priorities—all within a confidential environment that enables them to adapt, innovate, and thrive in evolving business conditions.
Unlike traditional executive coaching, Vistage combines one-to-one coaching with peer advisory groups, expert speakers, and a global network. Members gain tailored guidance, diverse perspectives, collaborative problem-solving, accountability, and actionable strategies—delivering leadership development and business growth that a solo coaching session or typical networking group cannot provide.
