What our leadership coaching program members say

Brian Lauducci

CEO of Paylock IPT

You cannot Google, ‘What am I not doing that I should be doing?’ This is the essential question that gets addressed at every Vistage meeting. … You can think you are doing a good job, but inevitably you will be missing something. Attending Vistage meetings allows you to spend time working on and thinking about the items that do not regularly come across your plate.

Keith DiMarino

President of Docuvault

Vistage provided me with the personal growth and leadership development platform that I was unable to find on my own while running a fast-growing company. I compared the cost of my membership dues to the associated growth Vistage has made in my company, and the results were over 50 times my initial investment.
