Cohort Coaching
Leading At Scale
Leading At Scale is our flagship cohort development program, enabling you to evaluate and cultivate your future leaders. We help your key talent to develop the skills required to take on more complex, scalable roles, and your business to develop a strong leadership pipeline.
The program is tailored to align with your business goals and strategic imperatives, taking into account any leadership gaps identified during the initial assessment stage.
We then undertake a series of cohort leadership learning sessions, followed by highly personalized virtual one-on-one coaching. The program culminates in the delivery of a development plan created for each individual to ensure change is reinforced and development continues at the end of the formal program.
