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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I worked 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.

Tony is one of the best facilitators I have worked with over the years. As a result of his efforts, our group is able to efficiently delve into complicated topics with ease and clarity. I attribute the success of our TEC Group (now called Vistage) to his business acumen and skill.

Tony is a rare breed. It is unusual to find someone with both the business experience and acumen to be a successful CFO as well as the thoughtfulness and insight to be a successful business coach and people person.

Tony combines all of that and excels in all arenas. He always has a great analogy which helps to bring clarity and he has a great sense of humor to help keep the discussion light when appropriate. I would highly recommend Tony’s coaching  to any business owner and he should be on anyone’s short list of business coaching candidates.
