2019 Cincinnati Vistage Executive Summit

Hosted in Cincinnati Tuesday, July 16, 2019 7:15 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. CDT

Event Overview

Change is happening faster than ever.
Make sure you have every advantage.

In our fast-paced world of high-speed technology, few businesses can afford a lax approach to change. High-performing companies are quick, nimble and ready to pounce. They incorporate progressive practices, the latest resources and timely information. They can see around the curves and past their blind spots. They’re not the followers. They are the pacesetters.

And they do not get there on their own.

Join your greater Vistage family and peers to rev up the energy
and kick up your drive at this year’s Vistage Executive Summit.

What is the Vistage Executive Summit?

A powerful event that brings together our peers and Chairs from across your region for a day of learning, inspiration and connection. It’s a day designed to put you on the fast track to more effective leadership, increased performance and better results.

You can count on:

You’ll come away with keen insights, broadened perspectives, practical tips to implement immediately, and mind racing possibilities.

The 7 choices to ignite a radically inspired life

John O’Leary asks the question: What would your impact and output look like if you lived a radically inspired life, every single day? Living radically inspired means you learn from past mistakes, rise above challenges and thrive — no matter the circumstances. It means, you choose how inflection points (moments in time that change everything that follows) affect you. Start owning your wins and failures to truly celebrate your outcomes. Learn how to adopt a victor-mindset to instill accountability in yourself and your team, and achieve unbridled success. Your choices can transform your life and business.
