Executive ForgeFORGE Discovery Call
A 30-minute conversation for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and senior tech leaders ready to lead beyond their technical judgment.
On this call, we'll talk through exactly what's happening in your current role, which of the four FORGE domains is likely your biggest gap right now, and whether working together makes sense. This isn't a sales pitch. It's a real working conversation about where you are and what's actually getting in your way.
This call is for you if
- You're a CTO, VP of Engineering, or senior tech leader stepping into a bigger scope or rebuilding trust across Engineering, Product, and the C-suite.
- You're already trusted for your technical judgment but sense something else isn't landing the way it should.
- You're ready to commit real time and attention to building specific leadership habits, not just collect another piece of advice.
This call is not for you if
- You're looking for a single tactical tip for one upcoming meeting rather than a sustained shift.
- You're not yet in a role where your technical credibility is established and trusted.
What you'll leave with
A clear picture of which FORGE domain is your biggest current gap.
A specific example of how that gap is likely showing up in your week right now.
An honest read on whether working together is the right fit.
Who you'll talk to
I'm Art Akerman, a former CTO and VP of Engineering turned executive coach. I built the FORGE method from my own experience living this exact transition.
Since then, I've coached 100+ tech leaders through the same shift, from being trusted for execution to being trusted for leadership.
“I landed a VP position in less than six months thanks to Art's coaching. His strategic guidance and tailored approach made all the difference.”
Kan Tang, VP of DevOps Engineering
