Why peer groups?​​

It’s lonely at the top. Leaders can almost never speak candidly about organizational challenges and personal struggle.
 
Peer groups offer a confidential, brave space for leaders to work through their biggest challenges.
 
We co-create each cohort to meet the needs of our members. Peer groups encourage reflection, and learning through experience sharing and storytelling.

Peer groups are ongoing, adaptable, and member driven.

TESTIMONIALS

"There is so much that we are sharing and unloading, it feels good in the moment, but over time there is something that happens in your psyche that I know I'm not the only one going through this."
