How long does it take to build trust? The answer can vary, but for Nancy Girres, Vistage Chair and Best Practice Chair for Colorado, it can happen fast when you lead with vulnerability. Nancy leads her groups with a level of openness and intention that invites others to do the same. In this conversation, we talk about her journey from tuxedo executive to peer group powerhouse, and how she’s made her Vistage work the most meaningful chapter of her career. From building a CE group in 90 days to launching a new group with her daughter this fall, Nancy’s story is packed with purpose and a little Iowa farm grit.
She also shares the group exercise that never fails to deepen connections: five personal pictures and an “I Am” poem. The result is trust that shows up fast.
