Who you surround yourself with matters.
Successful business leaders are intentional about how they spend their time and who they spend it with. As a Vistage Chair, I create meaningful and impactful relationships within a group of trusted leaders who have each other’s back. We troubleshoot, strategize and work together to tackle each other’s pressing issues, challenges, and opportunities.
Imagine having your own trusted Board of Advisors
In my CEO Peer Group you’ll find leaders who are humble, driven, and hungry. They don’t think they have it all figured out. They are eager to surround themselves with other leaders to gain from the collective experiences and perspectives they wouldn’t have alone. Everyone is trying to break through to achieve something they haven’t before for their organization and for themselves. They show up for one another, listen, learn, push, support….they have fun and get BIG things done.
We meet as a group once per month for a full day and dedicate our time to working ON the business. This is where the magic happens! We intentionally spend time talking about what matters most, getting to the heart of what is in the way, and sharing experiences and observations that help each Member drive forward.
The power of their own local peer group is magnified by having access to 27,000 business leaders within the Vistage network groups. Everyday our Members are leveraging the power of peers across the globe.
What will YOU get out of a Vistage Peer Group?
Bottom line – GROWTH. Growth in revenue. Growth in bottom line. Growth as a leader. Growth as a person. There is no question to the Return on Investment our Members receive by investing in themselves and their organizations in this way.
Our Members have told us WHY they continue year after year to participate in our Peer Groups.
- Making better decisions (gaining perspective and space to work on the business rather than in the business)
- Accountability (becoming more accountable and better able to hold others accountable)
- Growing (personally and professionally)
- Isolation relief (from being “lonely at the top” / imposter syndrome)
- Change management support (internally and externally to the business)

SEE IF THIS GROUP IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU.
Relationships matter - I enjoy being a part of someone’s journey.
My passion is in helping people solve problems and achieve their goals – in business and in life. I believe this is my purpose, my why.
As a Vistage Chair, I bring business leaders together to pull out of the day to day to work ON their business and together we remove obstacles and drive toward goals. My commitment is that I will bring the right people together and create a safe space where they achieve Confidence, Clarity, and Camaraderie.
I am genuinely invested in my Members. It’s important to me to really get to know people and become a part of their journey. Being there for the highs and the lows. Supporting them. Celebrating with them. Helping them push past whatever is holding them back.
I Listen. I Support. I Push.
Listening and supporting are natural states for me. I show up this way in my personal and professional life. I listen to understand, and I support through empathy and encouragement. But the key is to not stop there. The push is about accountability and helping someone get beyond where they are stuck. Progress and forward momentum are so empowering!
