What Our Members Say

After Six Weeks...

"I didn't even use all of tools that you provide guys, so far all is exceeding my expectations. Basically thats the first mastermind group that gives a real value that I know!"

"Stress levels overall in my life almost went to 0, in all cases, private, work etc"

"Tech Leaders Is Awesome"

"For this client, it's a fractional gig that will replace all my income, which means I can go and do this fractional thing for three days a week and then have two days to apply all the other learnings.

Massive, massive win. And thanks to the gang here, and a lot of these Tech Leaders sessions in particular have been very, very helpful.

I never thought three days a week was possible to replace the income, but l've been shocked by it.

One thing I actually applied is more of a mental fitness thing Stephen Bates did with us last week.

So it works, folks. Tech Leaders is awesome."
From C.F
Ireland
Fractional CTO

Personal & Squad Recognition

" The 'win seeds' I've been planting the last ~1-2 months have started blooming at work!

My squad was recognized by senior leadership across two orgs for the work we've been doing.

It was absolutely a team effort, but I can directly tie my contributions and little day-to-day decisions to the success"

Increasing Leverage

I feel I'm a strong IC and have quite good managing skills, but I felt lacking in strategy tools.

I wanted to increase my leverage by doing a higher level of work.

Is the program worth the money? I have no doubts. I think it already paid off.

The things I have heard of, learned, and discussed were not reachable to me before.
From M.W.
Poland
CTO

Productizing Expertise

It is harder than I thought, specifically talking about yourself as a product or service offering is not something I really ever had to do working in a large corporation for the majority of the last three decades.

The 1:1 sessions with Stephen have been valuable as I sort out Imposter Syndrome and Self Sabotage issues.
From F.C.

Fractional CTO

Job Offer & Promotion

Applying my new approach learned through Tech Leaders, has led to a new job offer and a promotion"

How Tech Leaders Is Different

Many talented tech experts find themselves in leadership, management or supervisory roles without the non-technical skills and experience to confidently get the best out of their teams and hit the goals they need to achieve.

We support leaders with a personalized plan and access to a knowledgebase and mastermind for learning and insights to help “see around corners” and flatten the learning curve on your journey into leadership and entrepreneurship.

The five elements in the Tech Leaders Career Accelerator Program are drawn from our Collective Learning Methodology to deliver rapid results.

Mastermind Sessions 2x/week

Access hard-won career wisdom, priceless industry insider knowledge, and on-demand answers to the seemingly "un-askable" questions from coaches and peers.

Private Coaching Sessions 1x/month

Receive monthly private coaching calls to discuss any topic for ongoing guidance on goals and navigating around blockers in a private setting.

Always-On-Demand Learning for Self-Study

Access an extensive library of training curriculum (and recordings from past Mastermind Sessions) to gain the knowledge and skills needed at exactly the right time.

The Playbook Catalog

Know exactly what to say and do... when, with the playbook catalog. Chock full of shortcuts and gotchas to avoid when dealing with many different situations and contexts leaders often face.

The Community

Build your network and reputation, exchange ideas and feedback, and get key introductions to stakeholders and decision-makers who already do what you want to be doing with your career.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do I need to commit?

Members typically commit 2-3 hours per week of async self-study and live coaching sessions.

We record all mastermind coaching sessions to watch when you can't make it live.

What if I'm not sure about my goals yet?

Don't worry; this is very common.

One of the primary goals of the Mastermind is to make sure you are happy and confident about your goal and pathway.

Many members change or upgrade their goals once they realize their full unique value to the marketplace.

The Mastermind coaching, your monthly 1:1 and tools, such as the Genius Zone Model and the MVPlan tool, will help you focus on the right goal for you.

What if I have a problem with Imposter Syndrome?

70% of people have Imposter Syndrome at some point or another.

40% of people, unfortunately, have it at a level which seriously damages results.

Dealing with IS and other confidence issues is a speciality of Tech Leaders, and we can help anyone deal with it (especially self-taught developers).

How long before I can expect a result?

We expect you to achieve a significant goal within 6 months and support you at every step of the way.

Everything we do in the Mastermind is problem and goal focused, and because of this, we use an On-Demand Mentoring and Training philosophy and system.

This means that we work on real-time problems and goals, as well as your longer-term objectives.

We help you pick the low hanging fruit now AND plant seeds for the long term.

Do I have to go to the weekly live sessions to be successful in the program? And how do they work?

Not everyone attends the live sessions and sometimes someone will join the program and I’ll never see them again other than the odd message every couple of weeks asking some questions if they get stuck.

But across the board, the people who attend the most sessions get the biggest results the fastest.

Sessions are at 10am CST on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays to fit most schedules around the world.

1:1 coaching calls are scheduled at your convenience and you can get async help from coaches and other members at any time with community posts and private DMs

Is there a sense of camaraderie and community? I want a place where I feel like I belong and an organization that cares about my outcomes.

One of the reasons why the live sessions are part of the structure is so you can get support from more than just the company, but from the community members directly too.

We’ve got a mix of levels from senior SWEs all the way to CTOs and we all help each other.

May I get a sneak peek inside the Membership Portal? How are the training materials and community organized?

Here's a sneak peek we recorded from inside the portal so that you can see how comprehensive our templates, scripts and tools are so that it makes it easy to implement.

What training topics can I expect to learn about in this program?

Along with all our tactical playbooks to help you productize and monetize your expertise, you can see the full syllabus for all components of our modules in our Skills Library

What does onboarding look like?

Once you have paid through the Stripe link you’ll be auto-sent an email welcoming you into the program with access to the events, curriculum, and a link to book your Kickoff call to get started with your Gearing Up Sprint - a six week process with weekly 1:1 sessions with a coach to get you up to speed quickly.
