Peer Advisory Groups

At the heart of it all is the peer advisory group.

CEOs, business owners and high-level executives have a lot of people offering advice, from their board of directors to spouses. Others have key colleagues or even a mentor with whom they can troubleshoot … but very few business leaders have a consistent, structured forum for unbiased feedback. Very few have a confidential environment to work out concerns and plans, challenges and opportunities. They want guidance they can trust from people they respect.

Vistage peer advisory groups are:

100% confidential
Consist of 12-16 business leaders (peers) from non-competing companies
Made up of member businesses across all industries
A safe forum for working out issues and exploring opportunities

An atmosphere of trust, support and encouragement

Executives who have been carrying the burden of having to know all of the answers can finally let their guard down. They can put any issue on the table for their peers to tackle with them. No topic is off-limits. If you are willing to talk candidly about the decisions you face, fellow members will rally around you, listen, ask tough questions and bring to bear every resource they have to help you grow as a leader and improve your business. More than +45.000 members across the globe count on their Vistage peer advisory group to help them make better decisions, be better leaders and get better results.

A CEO Coach (Vistage Chair) Facilitates the Group

Chairs are accomplished business leaders, many of whom are former CEOs themselves. They are part facilitator, part coach and fully committed to the success of each member. They help stimulate thinking, frame issues, guide discussions and keep the meetings focused and productive. Members meet with Chairs individually for one-to-one executive coaching sessions, an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the issues they most wish to explore.

Martín Oyarzun

Gerente General de Automóviles Gildemeister

Yo no soy uruguayo. No tengo el conocimiento tan de cerca del mercado, la gente, la cultura. Entonces, tener una visión de gente local, que trabaja con empresas, emprendedores, dueños de empresas, pero además con otras multinacionales con la mirada uruguaya, para mí ha sido fundamental.

Magdalena Lorenzo

CEO La Cigale

Creo que en lo que más me ha aportado es en fortalecer mis capacidades de liderazgo. Hay un esfuerzo grande, desde los grupos para que nos convirtamos en buenos líderes, desde todo punto de vista.

Gordon J. Bernhardt

President & CEO of Bernhardt Wealth Management, Inc.

The accountability from my peers and Chair has been invaluable and has helped me make decisions that have beneﬁtted my business. I also value the safety of being able to share concerns or issues that I cannot share with anyone else. My only regret is that I didn’t join earlier.

Da el próximo paso.
