Do Less & Accomplish More

Leo Tucker

The amount of work I delegate today is far greater than ever. Leaving my people alone has resulted in key increases in our business.

Hire slow, fire fast, and communicate clear expectations of results.


I have been working with Tony as my executive coach since September of 2005.

Is Your Business Running You?

I consider Tony Mayo the CEO’s CEO. Tony is the Chairman of my Vistage group and with his insight and coaching has tutored me in developing my leadership abilities and showed me how to run our business profitably while not letting the business run me. Since Tony has been a keen advisor to Glass Distributors Inc., I lean on his tremendous wisdom and knowledge for many of our key business decisions. Tony is a tremendous blessing for me and GDI.

Mentoring Skills

Julia Loughran

I have been a member of a Vistage group – of which Tony Mayo is the Chair – since 2005. Tony’s coaching and mentoring have been helpful in the decisions I have made for my business. I would highly recommend any business owner hire Tony for his coaching and mentoring skills. Tony offers an objective view and insightful suggestions for how to make your business better — and then he sees to it that you follow-up on your goals.

Tony is adept at facilitating groups to get the most out of its participants and he has great business advice to share. His wide set of capabilities and vision have really made a difference to my TEC [now Vistage] experience.

CEO’s CEO

Kirk Inoue

I know Tony since we both took TEC [now Vistage] Chair Training in 2003, when I have attended the training course as a consultant to TEC extending operation into Asia Pacific. Tony was definitely one of the most intelligent executive coaches in our group of approximately 10 people with extensive management experience as former CEO or COO. We all knew that Tony will become excellent TEC Chair and will be the CEO’s CEO.


It is very natural to see his success in Vistage and adviser to many CEOs today. While I have returned the medical device industry to run a public company in California as CEO again, I wish to highly recommend Tony to my fellow CEOs in the medical device industries.

Skilled Group Leader

Phil Gross

I have known Tony as a business associate for twenty years. His skill in assembling and leading small groups of executives creates an environment where everyone’s business–and life–benefits from the collective wisdom and experience in the room. I am very pleased with the results I am getting as a participant in one of Tony’s TEC [now Vistage executive coaching] groups.

Find the Heart of the Issue

Lonnie Rich

I worked one-on-one with Tony over several months as I sorted through opportunities and obstacles to growth of my law firm. I came to realize that there were very substantial and irreconcilable differences in approach to growth between me and some of my partners. The end result was an amicable firm split and my formation of a new firm with partners who share similar views on how best to grow the business.


Tony is outstanding at probing to find the “heart” of an issue, and he constantly presents his clients with alternative ways of achieving their goals.

Key Business Relationships

Fred Diamond

Tony’s executive coaching has been very valuable to the growth and development of DIAMOND Marketing. For example, he’s helped us identify and then develop key business relationships that have taken the firm to a higher level. We were unaware of most of these potential partners before working with Tony. All have paid significant dividends.

Through my association with the group, I was pleased to acquire two additional clients. While the business and personal support is what I generally expect from the group, getting new business was a bonus.

Focused, Insightful

I Stephen Goldsmithworked directly for Tony at pingMEDIA and found him to be focused, insightful and a great manager. He was able to break down any opportunity and effectively go after it efficiently. Tony’s knowledge and enthusiasm was instrumental in the company’s development. In my professional life, Tony stands out as the most honest and honorable person I have ever had the good fortune to work with.

Cut Through the Clutter

Raj Khera

Tony has the unique ability to bring out the best in you. In executive coaching sessions, he can articulate thoughts so clearly that you understand yourself and your options better after just a quick conversation.

He is a straight shooter, knows when and how to dig deeper to get to the root of an issue, and stays on top of your goals so you achieve more fulfillment in your own life, personally and professionally. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Tony’s ability to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of an issue very quickly, keeps us on our toes and eager to attend our one-to-one executive executive coaching calls as well as our group meetings. It is what Tony brings to the table – his ability to focus the dialog and bring out the best in the members – that sold me on membership in his CEO coaching group.
