A Different Way to Grow as a Leader
We may not know what comes next. We can decide who we will become as we meet it.
Becoming the Bridge leadership development cohorts connect personal growth to the living work of leadership. Through reflection, experiential learning, coaching, and conversation with peers, leaders deepen their self-awareness and expand their capacity to see, relate, decide, and act.
The work reaches beyond the individual: stronger relationships, greater trust, and more courageous leadership create new possibilities for teams, culture, and the wider organization.
Two Ways to Make the Journey
Peer Leadership Cohorts
For CEOs and leaders who want a trusted circle beyond their own organization. CEO and industry peer groups create space to explore shared challenges, question familiar patterns, and grow alongside others navigating a similar threshold.
Cohorts Within Organizations
For organizations developing leaders together. A shared cohort connects individual growth with the relationships, decisions, and cultural shifts that matter to the organization.
Small groups: 6–12 participants. Duration: starting at six months. Delivery: in person, hybrid, or fully virtual. Customization: available for your group or organization.
From the Book Into Practice
Inspired by Becoming the Bridge: Leading From Within to Transform What’s Next, the cohorts turn inner evolution into the everyday practice of leadership.
Five ways of leading weave through the journey: see what is, root in strength and simplicity, attune to the environment, weave stronger ties, and elevate joy. These practices return through reflection, coaching, and the real situations leaders bring into the room.
A Six-Month Journey
The journey balances personal growth, peer learning, and application within your organization. Five facilitated group sessions, an individual Leadership Circle Profile debrief, and coaching and integration practices support growth across six months.
Month 1: Awaken Awareness
Build trust, define your intentions, and create the conditions for transformation. Begin with the questions and leadership challenges that matter to you, making room to see yourself and the possibilities ahead more clearly.
Month 2: See the System
Explore the patterns shaping how you lead, the impact those patterns have on others, and the systems you reinforce—often without realizing it. The Leadership Circle Profile® 360 and an individual debrief with a certified coach help bring these patterns into view.
Month 3: Look Inward
Deepen emotional intelligence, embodiment, and leadership presence. Clarify your values and work with real-time triggers, growing your capacity to stay grounded, recognize protective patterns, and respond with greater choice.
Month 4: Shift What’s Stuck
Use the Immunity to Change™ map to uncover limiting beliefs and underlying assumptions. Define your “One Big Thing” leadership goal and begin experimenting with new ways of meeting the moments that have kept you stuck.
Month 5: Lead Outward
Translate inner shifts into how you use power, build trust, shape culture, make strategic choices, and influence the systems around you. Apply the work to your teams, key relationships, and the organizational challenges you are ready to meet differently.
Month 6: Root & Rise
Ground your growth and clarify your vision for what comes next. Reflect on your Inner Trail—the experiences, values, and wisdom that guide you—and how you are becoming the bridge between who you are and what you create. Peer and self-coaching support continued practice and sustained impact.

What Participants Are Saying
“The #1 thing… the younger generation is demanding this [shift in consciousness]– so any organization that’s going to hire anybody is going to have to figure this stuff out in the next 10 years. Otherwise their business is not going to have an adequate workforce.”
“If you’re a leader yearning for connection to the heart of why you do what you do, and open to transformational personal change, this exploration and training is for you.”
“The experience is life changing. It resulted in multiple new insights about myself. It has given me new resources to improve as an individual and professional.”
