Why CEO Peer Advisory Groups Work
Every leader needs a trusted circle
Vistage peer advisory groups bring together experienced CEOs from non-competing industries into a confidential circle of trust. These groups challenge your thinking, broaden your perspective, and uncover blind spots you can’t see alone.
Each meeting becomes a catalyst for clarity, action, and accountability—where real decisions are made, tested, and strengthened through the wisdom of equal peers.
Since 2005, Peter has worked with hundreds of CEOs from all industry types and through the various organizational life cycles that a business experiences.
