Frequently Asked Questions
About Vistage Florida
How does Vistage Florida work?
A Vistage Florida peer advisory group is a confidential forum of experienced executives who are committed to helping each other solve difficult challenges, evaluate opportunities and develop strategies for better professional and business performance. Vistage Florida members meet with their group monthly to work on the big-picture vision for their business and address issues that may be holding them back. Meetings are facilitated by an executive mentor (Vistage Florida Chair) who uses a proprietary method for keeping the conversations focused and productive. Whether the question is operational, financial, structural or even personal, the group provides wisdom, perspective and accountability to help executives make better decisions and achieve more than they ever imagined possible.
