The Co-Active Leadership Program is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. It invites you on what will be one of the most formative journeys of your life, challenging your perceptions about yourself, your world and the contribution you’re here to make.
Explore your real strengths and impact, rethink long-held assumptions and limitations, and fully integrate leadership into your own life. You’ll emerge from the program with newfound direction and clarity, knowing and believing in your power to make change happen, wherever it’s needed.
In this program you’ll be stretched, challenged, and, yes, sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s in these moments that you’ll get the deepest learning. It will forever change your experience of life, leadership and the relationships you have at every level.
About the Program
The Co-Active Leadership Program is one of our most transformational Co-Active experiences. It’s been helping people uncover their power and their purpose for more than 20 years.
The program immerses you in a series of powerful experiences, alongside a group of other growth-oriented individuals. Over a 10-month period, you’ll attend 4 residential retreats with your intact group, building lifelong bonds. The deep connections that form from the richness of this shared experience sustain you during the program and beyond. You’ll learn together, grow together, and witness each other evolving.
An important aspect of the program is its emphasis on leading with your full identity. You’ll explore the power dynamics inherent in leadership and examine them in the context of your own identity and lived experience. The program is rooted in your reality, but also acknowledges the realities of others. It teaches you how to navigate and include difference through connection, rather than separation.
Throughout the program you’ll be inspired to go deeper than you have before by participating in adventure-based activities, spirited dialogue, vulnerable moments, interactive exercises and challenges that push you out of your comfort zone and into your discovery zone.
You’ll be connected in between residential retreats by regular calls and assignments, supported by your group to apply and practice your developing skills. Prepare to commit fully to each experience in an environment that encourages you to test your limits.
Who Is the Program for?
If you're asking yourself this question, this program is for you. The Leadership Program thrives when it is filled with curious learners ready to expand their definition of what's possible in their lives and the world. It’s a life-changing growth opportunity for anyone who wants to connect with themselves, their purpose, and others at a deeper level.
