Once a month, we organize an hour-long facilitated discussion on an urgent topic for talent practitioners, like AI in assessment, hybrid culture, succession planning and the reinvention of leadership development.
Groups of 6-8 peers meet on a regular cadence for six months, developing enough trust to ask the right questions and provide supportive advice to one another.
TMC faculty and carefully selected guests lead workshops in topics such as stakeholder management, succession planning, executive presence, and decision-making methods.
Community members gather to get to know one another, network, and learn together in person. We host small group dinners in cities throughout the U.S. and gather for a full day each year.
Assessment platforms, coaching tools, and analytics products that developers want serious practitioners to stress-test before they reach the market. The Talent Management Collective is becoming the place where talent leaders see what's next — and shape it.
You're building your network, developing your craft, and developing a community of peers who are growing into leadership together.
You're a senior talent executive — head of talent, L&D, OD, talent acquisition, or HRBP leadership. You want to form community with a peer group who matches your seniority and understands the decisions you make every day.
You're a sitting CHRO or Chief People Officer. At TMC you can find a community of trustworthy peers, faculty advisors with experience at your level, and conversations on the cutting edge of your field.
The Talent Management Collective is one of the best talent management groups I have ever participated in. Other forums focus on hot topics and networking — TMC places a huge emphasis on helping us truly grow as talent professionals.

When Dan Fisher, Steve Garcia, Beth Gullette and David Peterson founded the Institute for Contemporary Leadership to work together bringing cutting-edge leadership development methods to executives from different industries, they also developed a think tank process of regularly convening senior talent leaders. As they met with talent leaders, they saw a pattern: not only did the senior talent leaders create new connections with one another, but when they did, new ideas and questions were generated that could move the field forward. Talent management professionals develop the careers of everyone around them — with a community of fellow practitioners, they can take the lead in crafting their own careers, too. The Talent Management Collective was created to be that community.
A small group of fellow General members who meet monthly to bring real challenges and work them together. Same people, same group, the whole year. Trust accumulates.
Facilitated discussions on live topics — AI in assessment, hybrid culture, succession planning, the reinvention of L&D. Not panels. Members work the question together.
Practical sessions on stakeholder management, executive presence, decision-making, succession planning, and other talent fundamentals. Led by TMC Faculty.
Regional meet ups throughout the year, plus the annual TMC Summer Summit — our cross-tier in-person convening. Real conversations, optional but encouraged.
Assessment platforms, coaching tools, analytics products — early access to tools developers want serious practitioners to stress-test before they reach the market.
All memberships are by application. Five minutes to apply. We respond within five business days.
Join General Membership →Executive Members have access to the full TMC programming. The differentiator is the executive-only sessions — peer consultation, Idea Labs, and dinners reserved for the senior tier.
Standing peer cohorts of senior leaders only. Same people, same group, every month. The work that gets done here doesn't get done anywhere else.
Working sessions on the strategic questions senior leaders are actually wrestling with — scaling, succession, AI in the function, board dynamics, transformation through cycles.
The TMC Summer Summit brings the community together in person each year, with Executive-only sessions and dinners alongside the broader programming.
Members can request faculty office hours and warm introductions for specific challenges.
Executive Members may also attend the full slate of cross-tier Idea Labs, micro-workshops, and the broader community gatherings.
Early access to assessment platforms, coaching tools, and analytics products developers want serious practitioners to stress-test before they reach the market.
Rolling admission. Apply now and start right away. We respond within five business days.
Join Executive Membership →Real conversations on the things that actually keep you up — succession, board dynamics, transformation, AI in the function, the cost of a misfire.
Drawn from senior practitioners and independent thinkers in TMC's community. Use it for succession planning, team diagnostic readouts, CEO partnership questions, board moments. Redeemed when issues are live, not scheduled in advance.
Connections to peers tackling the same challenges in different industries. Quiet relationships, made deliberately.
A small standing group of fellow CHROs/CPOs. Confidential. Same people, monthly cadence. The place to think out loud about what you can't think out loud about elsewhere.
Each year, redeemable as needed. Use them for succession planning, an executive team diagnostic, a CEO partnership challenge, a board moment, an investor conversation.
Smaller in-person gatherings throughout the year — regional dinners, closed-door roundtables, and the annual TMC Summer Summit with private CHRO Circle programming. Chatham House rules.
When a member is navigating a meaningful moment — a major transformation, a CEO transition, a workforce reduction — we can convene a small group of peers under tight confidentiality.
Member-to-member introductions on specific challenges, made deliberately. Not a directory you browse — an introduction made by someone who's listened to both sides.
CHRO Circle members have access to the full Executive Membership — Idea Labs, the broader peer community, the annual Executive convening. Use as much or as little as you'd like.
If you are a CHRO interested in joining the CHRO Circle, or you know someone who would be a great fit, please reach out and we'll respond within five business days.
Inquire about CHRO Circle →Idea Labs, Deep Dives, Micro-Workshops, and IRL Events. We'd love to see you there!
For organizations sending multiple talent leaders into TMC together — three packages, with discounts for committed groups.
Our company subscriptions are for organizations that want to invest in their talent function as a group — managers, senior leaders, and CHROs developing alongside one another, with a single contract and one point of contact at TMC. Every nominated member still independently meets TMC's membership requirements. What changes is the enrollment experience, not the bar.
Or design a custom plan. Different headcount? Different mix of seats? Specific programming needs? We'll build a plan around your organization. Start the conversation.
Every nominee independently meets TMC's standards: several years in talent management for General, a senior talent leadership role for Executive, a sitting CHRO or CPO position for CHRO Circle. We review every nominated member; admission is confirmed within five business days.
If a member leaves your company during the subscription year, the seat reverts to your company and can be filled by a new nominee. The departing member retains their individual TMC membership through year-end as a goodwill carry-over.
If your CHRO Circle member leaves the role, the seat converts to an additional Executive seat for the remainder of the subscription year. The value continues in a different form.
Your subscription year runs from the date of contract signing. Renewal is offered 60 days before the anniversary date. Pricing may adjust at renewal in line with TMC's published rates.
No. Every nominee still applies and is reviewed individually. What you're buying is the right to nominate, with a streamlined application track. Admission depends on the individual qualifying. We respond within five business days of receiving a complete application.
You have the full subscription year to fill seats. Seats nominated mid-year still receive a full year of TMC engagement (their individual membership extends past your renewal date). We'd rather you nominate the right people than rush to fill seats you don't have candidates for yet.
Yes. The departing member retains their individual TMC membership through the end of your subscription year. Your seat returns to your company immediately and can be filled by a new nominee.
A three-hour virtual session led by a TMC faculty member, on a topic your team chooses. Format is dialogue and peer consultation — not lecture or training. For your nominated members only, scheduled by mutual agreement during the year. Common topics include current challenges in the talent function, development themes for senior practitioners, or facilitated working sessions on a strategic question your team is wrestling with.
Yes. Additional seats can be added pro-rata at any time during the subscription year, or you can upgrade to a larger package.
Different headcounts, different seat mixes, or specific programming requirements can all be built into a custom plan. Reach out to start the conversation.
Whether you're sizing up Team or scoping a custom plan, the next step is a conversation. We'll walk you through the application track, draft a contract, and get your team's nominations into review.

The Talent Management Collective is for in-house talent management professionals — practitioners working inside companies in talent, L&D, OD, talent acquisition, assessment, and HRBP leadership. Our three tiers map to where members are in their careers: General for rising practitioners, Executive for senior talent leaders, and the CHRO Circle for sitting CHROs and Chief People Officers.
Most members attend one to three sessions a month. Idea Labs are roughly 60 minutes. Peer consultation cohorts meet monthly for about 90 minutes. Members participate in what's most relevant to them — there's no attendance requirement, and everything is recorded.
General Membership is $1,250/year, with a half-price self-pay rate. Executive Membership is $2,500/year, also with a half-price self-pay rate. The CHRO Circle is $10,000/year and is by invitation only. We also offer Company Subscriptions for organizations enrolling multiple talent leaders at once.
For General and Executive memberships, the self-pay rate is half the cost of the company-sponsored rate.
Our peer consultation cohorts are confidential and not recorded so members can develop genuine trust. Idea Labs and Deep Dives are not confidential; they are open to prospective members, and may be recorded and shared with members who couldn’t attend live.
We host dinners, workshops, and the annual Summer Summit in cities where members live and work — and additional events around major industry conferences. Members host IRL meetings at their offices; we help organize and fund them. We aim to make in-person accessible without making it required.
We'd love to have you join us for an Idea Lab or a Deep Dive before formally joining TMC. Please take a look at the calendar, then contact us and we'll add you to the attendance list for the upcoming event.
Send us a note and the community team will get back to you within five business days.
