Had a member share at our recent one2one coaching session that he ran into one of his customers at a social event recently and the customer thanked him for referring him to me. The customer went on to say that thanks to his Vistage advisory peer group his business YTD is growing at a 20% clip vs. LYTD. This put a smile on my member face for 2 reasons: 1st. the customer was a friend and acknowledged he is moving from good to great both personally and professionally and thanked my member for caring. 2nd: The next day, my member checked out his customer and saw that his customer’s business had taken a solid turn for the better.
What a cool story when someone who cares enough about you to encourage you or refers you to someone like me who with monthly coaching sessions and monthly meetings focused on sharpening ones saw in business leadership and personal improvement making you a better version of yourself.
Vistage is a “game changer” for those that want build their business and a better version of themselves. Let’s have a cup of coffee and discuss if one of your raving fans qualify for consideration in one of my C-level advisory groups.
All the Best,
Ed Stillman

I grew up in Carlsbad, north San Diego County, lost my dad as a teenager, went into the USAF for four years and hired on with 3M in 1969. Received my AA from Santa Barbara City College, BA and Masters from Redlands University and after 33 plus years, I retired from 3M in 2002. As I look back on my life, I have been creating myself and developing my skill sets to be a business coach and a Vistage Chair. I am president of SEOT, a "personal improvement" consulting firm spending most of my time working with Central Texas executives running small to medium size for-profit companies who are focusing on improving their profitability greater than their competition. My area of interest is assisting senior executives in creating a better balance between business commitments and personal relationships. I also facilatate three leadership labs each consisting of a dozen owners, presidents and CEOs. We meet monthly both in a group setting as well as in a 1-to-1 coaching session. Our focus is to sharpen each others' skills in becoming better leaders, making better decisions and taking ourselves and companies to that next level.
Who are we? My members are experienced top executives who recognize that they don’t have all the answers and who actively seek the company of successful peers—both to give and receive insights and ideas. My members mine the 200 plus years of chief executive experience that comes together in our monthly meetings and members are eager to offer their own experience and insights in the process.
As a group, we spend our time exploring topics members can't discuss anywhere else. My members have many other places where they can engage in idle, "cocktail party" chatter. Our mission is to provide the setting for discussing the "undiscussable."
Where or who can you go to for confidential, honest feedback to assist you in minimizing your personal "Worry List"?
