Time to Ditch the Solo Act? Join a private, curated CTO peer group

Joining a CTO Craft Mentoring Circle provides you with a Community of Practice, with regular peer-led discussions facilitated by an experienced CTO Coach, a private channel to get input from peers, discounted conference tickets and more, as well as all courses, discussions, assessments and resources on Campus.

What's a CTO Mentoring Circle?

Meeting monthly, Mentoring Circles provide you with regular, facilitator-led discussions and learning in a small group of peers

Headings

Circles are groups of up to 8 technology leaders of similar experience levels

Each Circle is facilitated by an experienced CTO Coach

Members suggest and vote on discussion topics for each session

Members bring their own experiences, along with insights from the Coach

Why join a CTO Mentoring Circle?

Build a trusted network: share reflections, stories, experiences, lessons and best practices with a small group of leaders in similar positions.

Curated groups: we choose leaders with similar levels of experience, team size and structure and business stage.

Experienced facilitator: the groups are led by a CTO who’s been in your position, and can help guide through to solutions and provide mental tools.

Commitment to improvement: membership of a group brings accountability for continuous improvement and openness.

Full access to Campus: Circle members have access to all courses, assessments, groups and resources in our exclusive learning platform.
