More than a method. It’s a movement.

Our Environment
Every organization has a unique genius—something they do better than anyone else. CTLF’s genius is creating the conditions for authenticity, deep connection, and growth. One thing is constant over more than 10 years serving the Colorado business community—leaders routinely tell us, this environment is different, and the difference is profound.
Whether a small round table gathering of 10 CEOs, a leadership growth program over six weeks, a peer group’s monthly meeting, or a large event with hundreds of leaders, everything we do is characterized by a deep level of connection, authenticity and openness that is rare. No need for posturing, pretending, or impressing. CTLF gives you the opportunity to exhale for once. And it’s amazing what happens when we can let our guard down and be seen for who we truly are.
One entrepreneur put it this way, “CTLF is the only place in my life where I can be myself completely, and that has made all the difference.”

Our Story
In 2009, the world was experiencing a global economic downturn and businesses everywhere were struggling just to survive. In the face of this great challenge, CTLF formulated a bold response and, in doing so, created something special—a community that prioritizes genuine connection and authentic relationships as a powerful driver of personal and professional growth.
This deliberate focus on knowing and serving others creates an authentic culture perfect for expanding our capacity to lead well in business and in life.
“When I truly know you—I know who you are, what you do, why you do it, and I care about you—I can serve you in a powerful way, because I know exactly what you need,” says Sara van Rensburg.
When we do this, we elevate the future of Colorado business for good.
