Co-Active Leadership Program

Find Your Way

Co-Active Leadership Program

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 leadership training program with newfound direction and clarity, knowing and believing in your power to make change happen, wherever it’s needed.

In this leadership training 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 Leadership Training 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 leadership training 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 leadership training 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 leadership training 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 leadership skills. Prepare to commit fully to each experience in an environment that encourages you to test your limits.

A whole way of being and doing in the world shifted, and it was just the beginning. Co-Active Leadership is one of those programs that you never stop living or experiencing the integration of it. The human I am now vastly differs from the human I was in the program. This program is an invitation into a completely different life.

Who Is the Leadership Training Program for? 

If you're asking yourself this question, this program is for you. The leadership training 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. Prior Leadership Program attendees have included individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds: from coaches to consultants, executives to managers, entrepreneurs to engineers, and many others. 

For many, the Co-Active Leadership Program has inspired a mission that has led them to create a company, or movement, or to lean into a cause that’s dear to them. What leadership training does is help people set a direction and give them the confidence to follow it.

Almost 20 years on, I still regularly think of my experiences and learning at the Leadership Program. It has given me a whole new awareness of myself and my impact on others and in the world. What I learned at the Leadership Program has served me as a reliable guide over time.  The three main points that I keep on coming back to are that it has allowed me to trust myself, understand that my way of being is more important than my to-do list and gifted me some friends for life.

Tina De Meeus

I declared my leadership quest about changing the healthcare experience for employees and doctors. Within a couple of years I became the Director of Leadership Development at a large heath authority and am working towards that vision. My personal leadership has evolved and I have brought the program’s  knowledge and tools into my everyday.

Michelle Penney

I have changed. I mean, really changed. More feeling, less rational. More purpose and focus, less business and KPIs. I was a technology nerd with a co-owner’s management position. I have transformed into a leader and taken much more of my personality into work, but also life in general.

Rik Dubbink

There isn’t a day that I am not aware of my leadership skills, the infinite value and responsibility of the impact I have on the situations and people in my life, and also the ability to stay in challenging situations. There are so many things that I can attribute to the Leadership Program teachings and learnings. Truly one of the best experiences in my life.

Accommodation and catering are provided for the 4 retreats but you do need to arrange your own travel to and from the retreat venues.

Please note that you will be required to share a room during your retreats. Leadership is an immersion event and is designed to provide a communal experience with your fellow participants. The shared lodging is purposefully designed to engage with and deepen the work that happens on your retreats.

In addition to your 4 retreats, you'll be required to participate in weekly calls with your cohort and to complete reading and learning integration activities.
