Cohorts

A group thatstarts togetherand finishestogether

Small by design. Applied or invited. Every cohort has a beginning, a middle, and a real end — which is exactly why the growth sticks.

What makes a cohort a cohort

Four things, and all four matter.

Leaders seated in a session, open notebooks on their laps
  1. Bounded

    A set group of leaders, named at the start. You’ll know everyone’s story by the end, and they’ll know yours.

  2. A defined arc

    Every cohort has a start date and a finish. Long enough to go somewhere real. Short enough to actually commit to.

  3. Peers who get it

    Grouped by where you sit and what season you’re in. Same pressures, same vocabulary, no translation required.

  4. Built around real work

    Executive coaching, self-assessments, guided conversation, and a rotating hot seat for whatever you’re carrying right now. Not a lecture series.

Your first five years in the chair, with company

Leading 10X Deeper

The role got bigger. Grow into it on purpose.

An executive-level program for leaders stepping into significantly larger roles — building the competence, the confidence, and the spiritual depth to lead at a bigger scale. One week together to do the deep work, then monthly online meetings so it doesn’t evaporate when you get home.

P2P Catalyst Groups

Three leaders, one hot seat, eight months of honesty

You’re matched into a small group that meets online for six to eight months. Every meeting follows the same rhythm: a fast check-in, prayer and a devotional, then a rotating “Hot Seat” where one member brings a real challenge and the others coach them through it. Next time, it’s your turn in the seat.

Field Leaders

For leaders carrying the weight overseas.

  • Online

Field Leaders Tables

The leadership challenges you can’t take to your own team

Peer coaching groups built to give cross-cultural field leaders ongoing encouragement, wisdom, and accountability. Each Table brings together four to six leaders from different agencies for focused, guided conversations about the real challenges of leading on the field — the ones that don’t fit in a report home.

NextGen Leaders

For the leaders coming next.

  • Hybrid
  • Online orientation + 4-day in-person intensive + 4 monthly virtual coaching calls

NextGen Leaders Cohort

Somebody saw it in you first. This is what comes next.

A cohort for emerging leaders — Gen Z and Millennials, roughly 25 to 40 — who are new to leadership or preparing to step into it, and who are usually here because a mentor recommended them. Together you’ll build communication, conflict resolution, resilience, and the intergenerational teamwork that makes all three usable.
