You are cordially invited to attend this unique Vistage Florida event hosted by Chief Executive groups in Miami, Boca Raton/Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. The meeting will feature two excellent Vistage resource speakers, networking among South Florida Vistage members, and an opportunity for Vistage candidates to experience some of the benefits of membership.
Our first speaker will be Greg Bustin, an award-winning speaker, author, and executive coach. A 10-year worldwide study of more than 10,000 CEOs and key executives conducted by Greg revealed that "lack of accountability" is the single greatest barrier to achieving consistently high levels of organizational performance. In his presentation, Greg will share his fresh approach to conflict resolution, a new way to think about accountability, and more than 35 best practices to improve execution.
The afternoon speaker will be Adrian Cronje, Ph.D., CFA, CEO of Balentine LLC, and a longtime Vistage member. Adrian is a Cambridge-educated economist, and he will provide tools that we can use to monitor the messages that capital markets send about the future economic environment. We will learn how to distinguish the news that truly has meaning from the more common noisy headlines. Adrian's presentation highlights how capital markets lead the economy, not the other way around.
