Our Vistage 4943 Peer Advisory Board met today in person after over 12 months of Zooming thanks to Covid-19. Most, if not all of us, have our vaccine shots, and we were looking forward in spending 4 hours together today over an extended lunch getting re-connected, and meeting for the 1st time Tanisha Johnson, COO and co-owner of A&P Quality Care in Austin.

Congrats to Dave Embertson, owner of Erling, he’s my 9th member with 5 or more years. Paul Meyer, co-owner of Fuse Architecture Studio received his 1st year plaque even though he’s finishing his 2nd year in our group.

A full slate of issues and opportunity discussions took place sharing best practices on: Back-to-Work policies, maternity leave, recent hail damage to our offices, homes and autos, retention of our employees, staffing, recuiting and onboarding talent and what the new work experience and life’s priorities are in front of us. As we open our offices and as our employees return to the office in the months to come, what will the new norm look like and how has Covid-19 changed us, possibly forever?

I’m very proud and honored to be assisting these men and women in becoming better leaders, making better decisions and gaining better results.

After 15 years chairing, Vistage is the most meaningful chapter in my book called LIFE.
