Is a Peer Advisory Group right for you today?

CEOs choose Vistage for support, vision, and performance

We know from our own extensive research that highly intentional CEOs are compelled to join Vistage for three main reasons:

  • They feel alone and isolated.
  • They are having trouble getting out of the day-to-day weeds and thinking strategically.
  • They want to keep performing andd growing yet are worried that they may fall behind.


My list of possible disqualifiers:

  1. Calendar Control: If you don’t have autonomy over your schedule, our group may not be the best fit.
  2. Openness to Challenge: If you’re sensitive to critique or resistant to having your views challenged, our environment might be uncomfortable for you. We value ‘care-frontational’ exchanges.
  3. Humility in Learning: Believing you’re always the smartest in the room is a sign that our group might not suit you. We thrive on mutual learning.
  4. Commitment to Reading: Regular reading is a cornerstone of our group. If that’s not part of your routine, this might not be your place.
  5. Growth Mindset: We’re focused on continuous growth in business and life. Lack of interest in growth is a misalignment with our ethos.
  6. Purpose Beyond Networking: If your intent is solely to network or prospect, our board isn’t the right platform for you.
  7. Confidentiality is Key: Inability to commit to total confidentiality is a deal-breaker for joining our group.
  8. Beyond Lifestyle Business: If maintaining the status quo of a lifestyle business is your goal, our group, which aims for growth and scaling, may not align with your objectives.
  9. Ego Check at the Door: A preoccupation with showcasing personal achievements and accolades doesn’t resonate with our group’s ethos. We value substance over titles.
  10. Intellectual Curiosity: A lack of intellectual curiosity is a sign that our group’s dynamic might not be right for you. We value inquisitive minds.

If you are still interested then let’s schedule up to a 30 minute phone conversation and see if we are a good fit for you and if you are a good fit for one of our Austin CEO/business leader peer advisory groups.
