St. Louis, you brought the climb. 🏔️

Yesterday, leaders gathered for the St. Louis Vistage Executive Summit: a full day of big ideas, honest peer conversation, and takeaways worth bringing back to the team.

Ross Hartmann of Kiingo AI asked CEOs to rethink how their companies run when intelligence gets cheap.
Ron Kitchens of Greater St. Louis, Inc. showed where the region is headed.
Michael Feuz of ITR Economics gave us the 2027 forecast.

Then we celebrated four members who live a Life of Climb:
Leadership Award: Amy Shaw, President & CEO, Nine PBS
Impact Award: Andrew Grunloh, CEO, Grunloh Building
Lifetime Achievement Award: Eric Casciaro, CEO, Quantum Solutions, Inc.
Legacy Award: Rob Johnes, CEO, Helmkamp Construction

Congratulations to each of you. And thank you to every member, Chair, speaker, and sponsor who made the day what it was. Keep climbing.

From Chair retreats to peer advisory meetings, this is what Vistage looks like up close: leaders putting ego aside, asking the hard questions, and pushing each other to think bigger.

More and more, those conversations are happening outside. Chairs and members are taking the climb (literally) — on the trail, on the water, on site, and around the fire — because a change of scenery often changes the conversation.

Thank you to the Chairs and members who shared these moments with the Vistage community. We love seeing all the ways you come together.

After 20 years as a Vistage Chair, Robin Stanaland now Chairs nine peer groups and spends more than 1,200 hours a year coaching CEOs and executives — all while keeping her family at the center of it.

Her second chapter isn't about having it all figured out. It's about building a life first, then deciding how work fits into it.

Most leadership programs end when the workshop does. Ours doesn't.

Tailored curriculum. Real business priorities. Peer accountability. An ongoing coaching relationship. Long-term retention. Measurable ROI.

That's what defines the gold standard — and it's why VLDP looks nothing like generic training.

Small business optimism just hit its lowest point in years. The WSJ/Vistage Small Business CEO Confidence Index fell to 85.0 in September — yet hiring and investment plans are climbing anyway.

Only 12% of leaders say the economy is better than a year ago. Half say it's worse. But 61% still expect revenue growth, and plans to expand the workforce jumped 6 points to 51%.

Sentiment is down. Action isn't. Here's what that split means for small business leaders right now. 👇

Julie Heisey spent 26 years as a championship-winning college basketball coach—until life forced a change.

“I didn’t want a job. I wanted something that was fulfilling and gave me purpose like basketball coaching… something where I could be a part of something bigger than myself,” she says.

As a Vistage Chair, Julie built a practice around what many accomplished leaders miss: real connection, continuous learning, and meaningful impact. “One of the coolest things… is I get to influence business leaders who influence their families and communities.”

She works with leaders at the top of their game—and helps them grow even further. “It’s so fun to see someone change as a leader… and realize they don’t have to be alone.”

The rewards are tangible. “I’ve been able to earn more than I ever did and have more flexibility and freedom.” But what stands out most is the meaning behind the work. As one member told her: “You do more than just a job. You are living your calling.”
