Chair-isma Podcast
The Chair-isma podcast is an on-tap mentor, designed for Vistage Chairs searching for deeper connection, guidance and inspiration. Facilitated by Chicago Chair Francine Lasky, each 20-minute(ish) episode harnesses the positive energy from a dynamic Vistage Chair who shares challenges, triumphs, and a couple best practices. This podcast achieves success when as a community, we bond deeply, we lead boldly, and we inspire possibility. Listen when you’re driving to a meeting, preparing for a challenging one-on-one, or up at 2:00am worrying everyone in your group is going to leave. Each episode offers a window into the soul of the Chair experience. What’s our core mission? To help you truly ”know” every Chair featured on the podcast, fostering a sense of camaraderie that inspires and sparks creativity. It’s like having an uplifting conversation at ChairWorld, available at the touch of a button. Join us twice a month to experience this synergy and expand your Chair family. We’re not just improving workplaces – we’re strengthening families and fostering happier communities.
