Transformational Leadership Development Cohort

Next Cohort begins January 2023

A 4 Month Journey with 12 Leaders

Do you crave a community of like-minded leaders who are committed to personal & professional growth?

Join us on a 4-month leadership development journey grounded in emotional intelligence and transformational leadership development principles. Designed to push you to the edges of your leadership growth, elevate your emotional intelligence, discover blindspots, deconstruct barriers, & awaken your purpose all within a supportive & authentic community of other like-minded leaders.

LEADERSHIP IS CHANGING & MOST OF US ARE NOT PREPARED —

According to McKinsey, the #1 most prestigious consulting firm in the world, only 10% of CEO's believe their leadership & development programs produce necessary long-term results. Simply put, 9 out of 10 organizations are wasting time, energy, & money trying to develop their leaders. Today's workforce is more volatile, complex, and disconnected than ever before; and it's taking a toll. The global employee engagement rate is 21%. Meaning only 21 out of 100 people in your business are powerfully rowing towards your company goals. Our tried & true leadership styles are no longer effective.

In the future, leaders need to address neglected & atrophied elements of their leadership. Below the line competencies, primarily emotional intelligence (EQ) coupled with a strong sense of purpose will set high performing leaders apart, according to the Harvard Business Review.

Are you & your leaders ready to open minds, deepen connection, renew spirits, and create breakthroughs? We are inviting leaders who want to embrace this challenge & transform the world around them.

4 Month Journey with 12 Leaders

  • Retreats offer an opportunity to disconnect from your daily routine and immerse yourself into a shared collective experience.

    Critical concepts are introduced outlining the integrated leadership framework as well as structures & processes for building a leadership community.

  • These learning modules are shaped and designed around vital themes, topics, & fun to help create the necessary environment to support participant growth & development.

    In addition to teaching, participants will go through experiential exercises to immediately apply the learning.

  • Virtual live group EQ sessions offer the necessary time to deepen your capacity for emotional awareness & relational connection through group learning, engagement, processing & practicing of the work with other leaders in the Cohort.

  • Throughout the Cohort schedule there are group events designed to create deeper community, collaborate throughout leadership challenges, and create spaces to integrate the work with others.
