Distractions: Noise and interruptions disrupt focus, especially on confidential topics critical to Vistage work. Privacy and Expense: Close tables compromise trust, and lunches cost $30–$50 compared to $5–$10 for coffee. Energy Impact: Heavy meals drain afternoon energy, while morning meetings (25% more productive, per Harvard Business School) keep you sharp. Alternative: Host in the office with ordered-in food for privacy, focus, and efficiency—a “fortress of focus” for meaningful conversations.

In Episode 9 of the ChairLife Podcast, Vistage Master Chair Tom Cuthbert explores two transformative strategies for building a successful Vistage Chair practice: implementing high-performing behaviors and leveraging the power of routine to boost productivity. Drawing from his 13 years of experience as a CEO, coach, and Vistage Chair, Tom shares how a set of 12 High-Performing Behaviors, inspired by David Friedman’s Culture by Design, elevated his groups’ performance and outcomes. He explains why these behaviors set the tone for excellence, align members with clear expectations, and foster accountability—turning mediocre groups into high-performing teams. Tom also dives into the practical steps he took to roll out this initiative, including a video series and ongoing reinforcement, and highlights the benefits: increased trust, engagement, and the ability to attract top-tier members. In the second half, Tom shifts to productivity, revealing how routines help him avoid decision fatigue and stay focused for his members and family. From his structured morning schedule to weekly habits like inbox zero and daily naps, he offers actionable insights to optimize your day. Whether you’re a Vistage Chair or a leader seeking impact, this episode provides tools to engineer a thriving group culture and reclaim your time for what matters most. Show Notes Introduction: Tom introduces the episode’s focus on high-performing behaviors and productivity, tying them to a successful Vistage Chair practice. The Power of High-Performing Behaviors: Tom reflects on a standout group that inspired him to adopt 12 High-Performing Behaviors, guided by David Friedman’s work, and shares how they’ve been a game-changer. Why They Matter: Three reasons—excellence, alignment, and accountability—make these behaviors essential for Vistage groups. Implementation: Tom details his rollout process, from defining behaviors to creating a video series, and the resulting trust, engagement, and member quality. Key Takeaways: Behaviors trump vague values; start small to build a high-performing culture. Tom’s Tips and Tricks: The Power of Routine for Productivity Morning Routine: Wake at 5:50 a.m. after prepping the night before (gym bag, schedule). Coffee’s ready automatically, followed by ten minutes of reflection, breakfast and lunch prep, and inbox zero by 6:20 (delegate, snooze, or act on emails). Gym by 6:45, office by 8:30, home by 5:30 with phone off for family time. Weekly Habits: Email checked only three times daily, constant water intake, daily voicemail updates (see Episode 2), no phone during one-on-ones, a daily nap (Episode 8), Wall Street Journal while exercising, and tracking food intake. Benefits: Enhanced focus, reduced stress, better time management, and less decision fatigue to save energy for high-stakes work. Actionable Advice: Start small—try a no-phone window, a five-minute stretch, or delaying coffee until a key task is done.

In Episode 7 of ChairLife, Vistage Master Chair Tom Cuthbert shares actionable strategies for building a thriving Vistage Chair practice by selecting the right members and overcoming common recruitment challenges. Inspired by Coach John Wooden’s advice to surround yourself with smart, argumentative people, Tom explores the art of curating a high-performing Vistage group. The episode is divided into two key segments: a playbook for identifying ideal members and a guide to tackling ghosting in the recruitment process. Tom begins by outlining the seven costly consequences of having non-ideal members—erosion of trust, wasted time, missed growth opportunities, cultural misalignment, lost opportunity cost, morale drain, and poor return on investment. He then introduces his G.L.O.A.T. criteria (Give, Listen, Obstacles, Accountability, Thankfulness) for selecting members who elevate the group. Through a detailed selection process, Tom emphasizes seven areas to evaluate candidates, including growth mindset, accountability, and integrity. In the second half, Tom addresses the frustration of ghosting—when prospective members stop responding—and offers seven practical techniques to re-engage or move on. From owning the process to leveraging multi-channel follow-ups, he provides a roadmap to maintain control and efficiency. The episode wraps up with a powerful tip in "Tom’s Tips and Tricks" and a preview of Episode 8, where Tom will define leadership and introduce his "From Here to There" coaching framework. This episode is a must-listen for Vistage Chairs looking to refine their member selection process and master the art of follow-up in a competitive landscape. Show Notes Introduction: Tom reflects on Coach John Wooden’s wisdom and sets the stage for finding the right people to sit at your Vistage table. The Cost of Non-Ideal Members: Seven pitfalls of poor member selection, including trust erosion and morale drain, underscore the stakes of choosing wisely. Defining the Ideal Member: Tom shares his G.L.O.A.T. acronym—five traits (Give, Listen, Obstacles, Accountability, Thankfulness) that define high-performing members. The Selection Process: A deep dive into seven areas Tom evaluates in interviews, from growth mindset to time commitment, to ensure a strong fit. Slaying the Ghosting Game: Seven techniques to combat ghosting, including setting expectations and knowing when to walk away. Next Episode Preview: Episode 8 will explore leadership and Tom’s "From Here to There" coaching framework.

I get it, things get busy. Just wanted to check in. When we started our conversation, we agreed to be authentic and open. I’m happy to answer any questions and we have reached the decision point.

Episode 6 (101) What's Happening Here?/ Strengthening Speaker Relationships (11:09)

In Episode 6 of ChairLife, Vistage Master Chair Tom Cuthbert explores the "Here" element of his "From Here to There" coaching framework, focusing on the present—the daily roles, responsibilities, and actions that drive a Vistage Chair practice. Drawing from Mahatma Gandhi’s insight, "The future depends on what you do today," Tom emphasizes the importance of the current moment while arguing it’s the least critical of the framework’s four elements ("From," "Here," "There," and the upcoming "To"). He provides practical strategies for assessing and optimizing "Here" through time management, focus, and key performance indicators like capacity, utilization rate, and member retention. The episode concludes with "Tom’s Tips and Tricks," offering actionable advice on strengthening relationships with speakers—a cornerstone of Vistage community success. From selection to recruitment, Tom shares a four-step approach to ensure speakers deliver high value to members. Whether you’re a seasoned Chair or building your practice, this episode offers insights to lead with impact and live with intention. Show Notes Introduction: Tom introduces the "Here" focus, building on Episodes 2 ("From") and 4 ("There"), and sets the stage with Gandhi’s quote about the power of today’s actions. The "Here" Element: Defines "Here" as your current responsibilities, KPIs, and daily drivers (30-90 days). Contrasts it with "From" (past) and "There" (future), noting its role as the immediate focus in coaching. Argues "Here" is the least important, with reasoning tied to its role in serving "From" and "There" (full explanation at episode’s end). Drilling Down on "Here": Covers roles, company metrics, and personal commitments. Key questions: Are your actions moving you toward your "There"? What’s keeping you stuck? KPIs for Chairs: capacity, utilization, income per hour, NPS, referrals, and retention. Time and Focus: Time: Guard it, set boundaries, prioritize unique tasks, and let work come to you. Focus: Be present, eliminate distractions, and align talents with passions (via a "magic quadrant"). Why "Here" Matters Less: Today’s actions are a bridge from past to future; "To" (next episode) will tie it together. Closing: Reflect on your "Here" and tune in for Episode 7 on "To." Share the podcast at ChairLifePodcast.com. Tom’s Tips and Tricks: Strengthening Speaker Relationships Tom dedicates this segment to enhancing speaker engagement, vital for delivering value to Vistage members. Here’s his four-step strategy: Speaker Selection: Begins in June with ambassador meetings to review 50 annual speaker sessions. Targets speakers with 4.7/5+ ratings and 100+ sessions; exceptions for trusted referrals or new talent. Books top speakers for multiple days with other San Antonio Chairs; tests new speakers in development groups. Speaker Prep: Conducts a 20-minute call to align speakers with group needs and clarify takeaways. Discusses group dynamics and tailors content for maximum impact. Speaker Retention: Post-session, offers speakers a chance to promote their work (e.g., books, programs) appropriately. Promotes speakers on LinkedIn, writes recommendations, and rebooks high performers. Speaker Recruitment: Identifies potential speakers within the community (e.g., Trusted Advisor Group). Develops new talent to refresh content as veteran speakers transition out. Action Item: Thank speakers, post about them, and invite local talent to elevate your Vistage program.
