Prepare yourself for your CTO journey
Are you ready to manage your team and to make strategic decisions? Do you want to make a bigger impact as a CTO?
Great CTOs can present a vision to a board, provide direction to a team, and hold a one-on-one meeting with a developer. They give everything the attention it needs without drowning in their work.
In the CTO Masterclass, you’ll learn everything you need to become an even greater CTO.
What you’ll learn
The CTO Masterclass focuses on ‘soft’ skills: leadership, communication, and coaching.
You’ve already built up your technical skills throughout your journey so far: as a developer, team lead, software architect, and more, you’ve tackled many technical challenges.
Now it’s time to amplify the output of those technical skills. You could try working more and longer hours – but you’ll quickly realize that’s not a sustainable solution. Everyone only has 24 hours in a day. If you want to generate more output daily than what you can achieve in those 24 hours, you need leverage. That leverage comes from your soft skills:
- Impactful communication
- Effective collaboration with the C-suite
- Great leadership abilities
- Making better decisions and delegating effectively
- Optimizing team structures and processes
What you’ll get
- Insight in typical CTO challenges: You’ll get an overview of the challenges every CTO encounters
- Practical strategies: Learn how to tackle those challenges.
- Sounding board of peers: Talk with other attendees and learn first-hand from their experiences.
- Q&A sessions: Ask your specific questions and receive tailored advice.
- Follow-up: We’ll have a follow-up session to discuss progress.
