Announcing Vistage Kidz and Vistage Seance

In a bold move by the company leadership, none of whom wished to be named in this post, Vistage announced the launch of two exciting new initiatives as part of an April 1 news release!  The move ensures the availability of a Vistage Peer Advisory Group from cradle to grave – and of course for all eternity thereafter.

Vistage Kidz will be for kids and run by kids. The groups will be “smaller” (obviously) and facilitated by mini-Chairs, who will be screened for leadership skills, the ability to sit still for more than 10 minutes, and they MUST BE potty trained.  The groups will meet once a month for a half-day rather than for the full eight hours (at least to start) and 121 “kidzecutive” coaching sessions will take place once a month under parental supervision, but without “parental interference” to allow the mini-Chair to grow into the role.  Members will get an early start at understanding the value of the peer advisory group experience, and Vistage leaders also believe it will impact the median age of the membership, at least until Vistage Seance gets into full swing.

I was told off-the-record by an inside source that Vistage Seance was the brainchild of a group of senior leaders and board members who’ve been meeting secretly about trying to “extend the Vistage experience” and its associated revenue stream.   The logic is simple: Stay with your Vistage Group forever and have your dues paid from your estate.  That way, everyone wins!

We look forward to an exciting new fiscal year at Vistage, April Fools initiatives notwithstanding!
