What’s next for you?

However you achieve success, each journey is unique. But one thing is certain: you can get there faster with the help of others.

Consider becoming a Vistage Chair
As a Vistage CEO Coach (what we call a Chair), you use your business acumen, expert leadership skills and passion for mentoring to help business leaders reach their full potential and achieve success in ways they can’t accomplish alone.

Benefits of having a Chair practice

There’s no limit on the number of groups you can launch. Chief executive members stay 5+ years on average.

A Flexible schedule

Stay local

Travel is minimal as your monthly meetings and one-to-one sessions are all local. *Virtual meetings & protocols are in place during quarantine to use at your discretion.

Chairs are trained

Vistage has developed a specialized curriculum that prepares new Chairs to build and lead their first executive peer advisory group. Chair Academy is a virtual, week-long, highly engaging executive-level program that equips new Chairs with tools, skills, and best practices for sourcing and leading Vistage members and groups.

The learning is practical, not theoretical. At the conclusion of the Chair Academy program, participants will have gained the confidence and understanding to return to their local communities to develop their business plans, strategies, purpose and processes for launching a new Vistage group.
