Leadership Growth Cohort

There’s a seat for you (and seating is limited)

A Leader Needs A Space To Be Human

Leadership is isolating and the demands are heavy to carry. Most leaders are not supported at the level they lead. This creates a lot of personal and professional challenges.

This 11-month, monthly leadership cohort creates space to be human, grow deeply, and build the capacity leadership requires. Through full-day monthly intensives, you’ll gain practical tools, self-awareness, and connection, to meet the demands of life and leadership.

In this program … you will be supported more than you’ve ever been supported, and you will be challenged more than you’ve ever been challenged.  With the right people, structure, and time, growth can be exponential. This is the year your growth has been waiting for.
