What to Expect From a Vistage Peer Group Meeting
When participants join a Vistage meeting, they can expect to meet with a group of peers led by a chair. CEOs and emerging leaders will come together, respectively, to share their knowledge base and expertise to challenge one another with solution-driven discourse.
To guide the discussions, the chair, often a retired CEO with experience in coaching and thought partnership, will address topics and use Vistage models to facilitate productive focused conversation. These program systems require both a willingness to learn and a willingness to contribute insights for others in an intense, inspiring learning environment.
