This series ran from April–September 2025, wrapping up with Session #20.
It was a weekly open conversation space — no slides, no pitches, just peers talking about real challenges of fractional work.

I’m not actively coaching right now. But if you really need to talk something through, I sometimes open space for a single conversation.
It’s a 30-minute call focused entirely on your situation — no pitch, no funnel. Just a chance to get perspective and sort out next steps.
A free Slack space for fractional professionals. It’s been quiet lately, and I’m not actively moderating it — but it’s still open if you want to browse, ask a question, or connect with whoever’s around.
A Reddit space for anyone working fractionally — across roles, titles, and industries. Ask questions, talk shop, swap stories, and figure it out alongside others.
Check out the Rands Leadership Slack — a broad, tech-heavy community with channels like #fractional-cto-and-vpe, #consulting, and #coaching. It’s not all fractionals, but it’s full of people building businesses, consulting, and figuring out their next thing.
There’s also a Fractional CTO and VPE Lean Coffee (via Zoom) every other Thursday at 11am ET / 8am PT, organized out of #fractional-cto-and-vpe. Casual, open, and usually a good mix of perspectives.
You might also check out CTO Lunches — a free, email-based discussion community with both online and in-person conversations. Tech-heavy, but useful for consultants and fractionals alike.
If you know of other communities that are helpful and inclusive, please let me know!
Most of what I do now starts with a single conversation.
If something here helped — and you need to talk through your next step — reach out or book a conversation.
No pitch. Just the next step if you want one.
