The Vistage Advantage Comes to the San Gabriel Valley

Twelve to sixteen outstanding business leaders from Pasadena and surrounding communities will be selected to participate in a new Vistage peer-to-peer advisory group, in which they will receive ongoing professional development, shared best practices, the prospect of confidential help in critical situations, and daily access to a global brain trust -- incorporating some of the best current thinking on business issues.

The Vistage AdvantageTM

Vistage helps chief executives and their companies outperform the competition by providing exclusive access to a proven combination of resources we call the Vistage Advantage:

  • Group Meetings. Successful leaders from diverse, non-competing industries gather once a month in confidential, problem-solving meetings with up to 16 chief executives, presidents, or business owners, professionally facilitated by a Vistage Chair -- Gail Schaper-Gordon, PhD, in this new Pasadena-area group.
  • Coaching. Members receive monthly one-to-one coaching from their Vistage Chair -- an objective business advisor offering advice, insight, accountability, and support.
  • Expert Speaker Workshops. Recognized experts deliver fresh perspectives and practical insights, inspiring breakthrough ideas -- all in a small-group environment, so that the content can be tailored to each Vistage member's specific needs.
  • The Vistage GatewayTM to Global Content and Members. With our worldwide network, better results start here!
    • Web-based best practices library. The Vistage online library (Vistage ViewTM) offers practical tips, advice, and best practices -- all available at the click of a mouse.
    • Regional and international conferences. These gatherings offer members the opportunity for peer-to-peer networking beyond their own groups. Expert speakers and interactive workshops create extraordinary learning experiences.
    • Worldwide member network. Every Vistage member belongs to an ever-expanding global network of 14,000 business leaders, expert resource speakers, Vistage Chairs, and other professionals. The online Vistage Member NetworkTM allows members to post questions concerning business and life-balance issues and receive guidance and suggestions from the global Vistage network.
