Experience

1. Vistage Chair

   Vistage Worldwide, Inc.

   Jul 2018 — Present · Nashville, TN, US

   The one thing that people are never good at is seeing themselves as others see them.”When I was introduced to Vistage, I knew that it was a good fit because it is a confidential peer advisory group that provides all the resources and insights necessary for exponential success. Through Vistage, executives gain better insights and make better decisions. At my dealership, we participated in a mentoring peer group and we know for certain that without that support and guidance, our business would not have survived the economic downturn of in 2008. We realized that it’s lonely at the top, but we found it doesn’t have to be. As a Vistage Chair, I am focused on outcomes and intention. If you intend to be successful, you will. In my groups, the goal is to create real leaders, not bosses. Bosses dictate, but a leader serves the team. Real leaders create a vision and then motivate and inspire others to engage and achieve that vision. At this stage of my career, I am most interested in changing lives and helping others.If you are ready to pursue your dreams in a bigger way and enjoy a greater sense of fulfillment, let’s explore.
