Explore the world of the Fractional CxO!
This Peer Group will meet on the third Wednesday of the Month at 9 am PT
Stepping into the fractional world means managing a dual role as a fractional leader AND a business owner. While this is exciting and empowering, it is not without roadblocks. Fractional Leader Elles Skony shares her experiences to guide leaders in this evolving and growing space. The peer group will also include an ongoing “Ask the Expert” series, where every couple of weeks, industry professionals in Sales, Legal, Finance (and more!) will join our meetings to share best practices and teach essential skills to manage and grow your business effectively.
What to expect: A topical theme each meeting with guided questions. We may invite some expert guests selectively. No slides/decks or AV and a loosely structured dialogue.
Topic Examples that will be covered: The state of fractional work Starting your fractional business Establishing your brand and marketing your services Prospecting and lead generation Finding balance in your fractional business Setting up an LLC and creating contracts How to best manage your business finances Business development 101 Negotiation & managing client expectations Imposter syndrome and how to overcome
Chatham House Rule: What is said in this group stays in this group. Sessions are not recorded and will not be part of the library.

A Look Inside Athena is held monthly for prospect members to come and understand how Athena works. They will learn more about the backstory of Athena, see a tour of our platform, and have the opportunity to discuss more of what they are interested in and ask questions about joining our community.
Learn about the most pressing topics facing executives today in an intimate, yet casual, virtual setting. Hosted by board directors and leaders from the world's top brands.
Gather with Athena members in your area for a casual, in-person Meetup. These are planned by request and hosted by Athena members in various cities. If you're interested in hosting and/or joining a meetup in the future, reach out to the Member Success Team and let them know.
We have an incredible community of female leaders at Athena and we want to bring you closer together! Join a Peer Group and build a network of peers you can engage with for guidance, lessons learned and insights around a shared interest. Choose a topic that most interests you or drop in and out of multiple peer groups as it suits you best. You’ll find at least one peer group available to join every week. Each live session goes for one hour, no preparation is needed, just show up as you are. We look forward to seeing you there!
A Learning Circle is an opportunity to connect with a small group of other Athena members in a focused yet casual setting, creating accountability around targeted learning to assist you in achieving your goals. Over the course of 6 sessions, club members will meet every 2 weeks to participate in an organic, peer-led discussion of the session's "chapters" consisting of 1-2 Athena salons which are to be reviewed on your own prior to the group session. When joining, members are committing to completing all 6 sessions.
Typically led by one of Athena's coaches, networking events provide members an opportunity to meet one another in a smaller intimate and virtual setting.
These are typically in-person events led by Coco and our partnering companies on topics that are relevant to the industry and audience of our business partners.
A workshop is an interactive session for members to actively practice something, such as their pitch. These sessions typically involve breakout rooms, member to member feedback and are not recorded.
For members new to Athena looking for ways to engage, these bi-weekly orientations led by an Athena Member Success Manager, provide a live tour of Athena, member success insights, and a chance to get questions answered.
Athena customizes virtual learning events with expert business leaders tailored to a unique company’s needs. These events cultivate cross-functional community, development, and learning across the partner organization.
Athena listens and we're always adding new event types and opportunities for members to engage. See what new events we are currently offering members.
