About The Author
Martijn Versteeg was a leader ar his EdTech company. Even though the company got aqcuired after 5 years, Martijn always felt he could’ve done better if he could just create a dependable framework to keep growing as a senior leader. Focussing on what makes a great leader made for more and more executives asking him to coach them, and now he runs about 20 peer groups a year all across Europe.
Even though everything we talk about in these groups of executives is confidential, the core concepts and insights are so valuable that we want to share them best we can. If you are a senior leader that is looking to keep learning, this newsletter is for you!
What some of Our peer group participants say:
In the peer group sessions, Martijn 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.
