Who is Chet Tart?
ABOUT ME
I help high performers break through plateaus. Together, we build what others only imagine.
You’re a Successful Leader—But You’re Not Done Yet
If you’re here, you’re likely the kind of leader who’s already achieved more than most.
But you also know: the higher you climb, the more challenging it becomes to see clearly, think strategically, and lead effectively.
You don’t need another podcast or guru.
You need someone who’s walked the path—and helps you walk it better.
That’s where I come in.
Years guiding CEOs and executive teams through real-world leadership challenges.
Hours of confidential coaching conversations logged over 6 yrs.
In combined annual revenue across Chet’s client base.
You don’t grow a business by thinking bigger. You grow by deciding faster and leading stronger.

Why I Do This
I believe high-performing leaders should never have to lead alone.
As a Vistage Chair with Vistage Worldwide, I spend over 1,000 hours every year in confidential conversations with CEOs, business owners, and senior executives. We solve complex problems, clarify strategy, and make decisions that move the needle.
This isn’t theoretical. It’s tactical, grounded, and proven.
The leaders I coach don’t just feel better—they perform better. We track ROI, measure leadership growth, and course-correct in real time
Certifications, Degrees, and Experience
I’ve spent over 40 years in the media and business world:
Leading as a network executive and business owner
Turning around underperforming teams and companies
Partnering with mentors like the W. Clement Stone family (The Success System That Never Fails)
Training in Edward Deming’s Total Quality Management system
Winning awards—and more importantly, helping others win too
I’ve hired executives. Made payroll. Navigated mergers. Scaled teams. Survived downturns. I’ve seen behind the curtain—and I coach from experience, not just expertise.

What I Believe About Leaders Like You
You’re smart. Driven. Capable.
But even great leaders hit a ceiling.
Maybe you’re stretched too thin.
Maybe your team isn’t where you need them to be.
Maybe the pressure’s building and the clarity is fading.
I believe:
Leadership is a skill—and it can be sharpened.
Pressure is a privilege—when managed with support.
Growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens in real conversations.
If you’re willing to be challenged, you will grow.
