About Peter

Guiding Leaders Who Guide Others

Peter D. Schwartz is an award-winning CEO coach, author, and Vistage Master Chair who helps leaders make better decisions, achieve better results, and lead with less stress. Drawing on more than three decades of leadership experience — including as a business owner himself — Peter guides CEOs and senior teams through the real work of leadership: aligning vision, behavior, and performance.

Blending deep human insight with proven frameworks from the latest in leadership research and The Leadership Circle™, he helps executives make better decisions, increase accountability, grow personally and professionally, deal with CEO isolation, embrace change and increasing complexity.

For Peter, leadership isn’t about perfection — it’s about continual growth, clarity, and the courage to lead with authenticity.

Leadership and development means going from

A New Perspective

Leadership Effectiveness in a VUCA World

Today’s business leaders are navigating a VUCA world — one defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity — where the old playbooks no longer guarantee success.

Peter helps leaders master both the inner and outer games of leadership effectiveness, and distinguish technical challenges that can be solved with expertise or process and adaptive challenges that demand a shift in mindset, culture, or behavior.

Through CEO peer advisory groups, 1:1 coaching, and executive leadership programs, Peter provides proven frameworks that achieve clarity, confidence, and actionable next steps. Leaders consistently report achieving better results with less stress — both for themselves and across their organizations.
