Jim Schultz's Linkedin Analytics

As a CEO or owner, "How do you _____?" "Who keeps you accountable?" Who helps you answer those types of questions? Is it even the right question to ask? As a CEO or business owner, it can be lonely at the top. Many leaders feel trapped in their businesses. That was me as Applied Educational Systems, Inc.'s founder and CEO until I found Vistage in 2003. From being a Vistage Member for twenty years, I know that Vistage is where you go to change the trajectory of your business and your life. When CEOs take the courage to step out, meet obstacles and opportunities head-on, and have difficult — but honest conversations with peers, they emerge and lead more confidently, often experiencing life change through better decisions. I founded my company at age 25 and eventually built and scaled to become a 5x Inc 5000 honoree. I experienced incredible ups and downs. Fortified with 36 years of business wins, losses, and draws and these reflections — I have come full circle. CEOs who are Vistage peer advisory board members grow their businesses 3x faster than other companies. There is a reason for that. When you combine the built-in accountability of a peer advisory group with individual one-on-one challenges and feedback, along with personal growth-expanding workshops, you have a platform for your life's success. As the peer advisory group Chair, I serve as a guide. Members discuss their business candidly; they process their most challenging decisions and engage with world-class experts. Tap into the network of more than 29,000 Vistage members and build long-lasting relationships. Please contact me if you are a CEO and curious if my private Vistage CEO peer advisory group in Central PA suits you. You can email me at [email protected].
