An Exclusive Sessions with Vistage Chair Andrew Marsh
Following on from Growth Lab Sunderland: Should I Scale or Should I Grow, we’re offering two half-day Masterclasses led by keynote speaker Andrew Marsh, giving you a deeper, hands on look at the thinking behind the event.
Places are limited, so rather than booking directly, we’re asking attendees to express an interest. We’ll confirm places once we know demand.
Vistage member companies grow, on average, 2.2 x faster than their peers (Dun & Bradstreet) – not because they know everything, but because they make smarter decisions with the right support around them. Leading a business can be isolating, and Vistage has given CEOs and business owners a trusted space to think, test ideas and gain perspective for over 65 years, with 35,000+ members worldwide. Both sessions below give you a taste of that, so if you’re serious about growth, both are worth your time.
The Vistage Experience
Your personal invitation to experience what successful Vistage members are doing.
- Monday 2nd November, 9:00 – 12:00
- North East BIC, Sunderland
- Max 14 places
This half-day experience gives you the chance to immerse yourself in a real Vistage peer group. This is not a presentation or a sales pitch – you’ll be welcomed to take part in a natural, supportive way, but you’re just as free to sit back, observe, and ask questions.
During the session, you will see:
- CEOs from non-competing businesses sharing real, current challenges in confidence
- A Vistage Chair facilitating focused, high-quality peer discussion
- The 8 key skills of a successful leader, explored in depth
You’ll leave with fresh thinking, practical takeaways, and a clear sense of whether the Vistage approach is right for you.
