In the peer group sessions, Martyn listens attentively, intervenes when the conversation veers off course, and frequently employs metaphors for clarification. He remembers the main themes from previous sessions for each individual, which deepens the conversations and advice. This is not only impressive but also extremely valuable for the participants.
The peergroups give me the opportunity to learn from the experiences of Heads of Products. I notice that more and more often I find myself in situations where I can apply what my peers have already experienced and learned and I can apply that knowledge to make judgment calls or prevent making mistakes that I would have probably made otherwise.
Every day, distractions come by that you can use as an excuse to neglect or postpone less enjoyable but more important matters. Martijn made me aware of the distractions of the day and the choices I was making unconsciously. He didn't do this by telling me what to do, but by skillfully coaching me in the right direction with questions and tools to help me understand the situation myself.
Imagine the insights you could gain from 7 experiences leaders in your field.
We form peer groups of 7 leaders with the comparable roles from similarly sized companies. These groups meet 7 times a year to structurally learn from each other to become (even) more effective leaders.
Segmentation is based on role and company size. Think “COOs of companies sized 200-500 people in London” or “CPO’s of SaaS companies sized 50-200 in Berlin”.
**Peer groups are on a invite only basis**
