About George Janson

I am currently a Vistage chair. Vistage is the world’s largest executive coaching, peer organization. I enjoy helping people gain new insights and clarity — facilitating courageous leaders to make difficult decisions. My coaching, consulting and training practices are rooted in real-world, corporate experience, academia, and the latest scientific research. A graduate of the Columbia University Coaching Certification program, I’m a decisive leader and believe in providing feedback that marries caring with frank and candid directness when necessary. Being a Vistage Chair is the best job I've ever had. I understand that leading a company and teams can be challenging, especially without a board of directors or trusted advisors. There is magic in watching my CEO/KeyExecutive Groups, which are really a community, help each other tackle strategic short and long term issues around finance, talent, operations, work/life balance, etc. Currently I Chair 2 CEO groups, a Key Executive Group for individuals in the C-Suite, and an Emerging Leaders Group, for high performers/rising stars
