Spending over three decades at Ford taught Dave Alden how to thrive in large organizations—and how to navigate change. That experience paid off when he moved from Detroit to Philadelphia and rebuilt his entire Vistage Chair practice from the ground up. His method? Coffee with one new person every day.

In this episode, Dave shares what it was like stepping into a group built by another Chair, the key differences between running a CE group and a Vistage Inside group, and how he earns trust in complex organizational settings. Whether he's talking with business owners or leadership teams, Dave brings the same steady, grounded approach that defined his corporate career.
