Cohort
Development
Not all roles are created equal. Group coaching and development programs often miss the mark for senior leaders in high impact roles with a one-size-fits-all approach that’s better suited to a front-line manager. Senior-level development requires out-of-the-box thinking and a tailored level of support.
Leaders who participate in ProjectNext Leadership’s Cohort Programs will be:
-
Better prepared to lead at scale
-
More equipped to inspire action from their teams
-
Able to recognize the dynamics and challenges of being a senior leader
-
Effective communicators of their leadership vision
-
Better able to lead across and influence cross-functionally within their organizationMore self-aware of their own leadership style and their impact on others
Cohort coaching programs are run as an intimate group to encourage high interactivity and meaningful relationship building.

– Managing Director
I've been to a lot of management and leadership training over my career, but this was different. You brought out the humanity in each of the leaders - you could see it in the final presentations. It wasn't just teaching the mechanics, which can come off as pretty artificial. Instead, you helped bring out the real strengths of each of the leaders so they can connect with the people they lead. You're not trying to create a mold for others to fit into.
It isn’t easy getting to the top of an organization, and it can be a lonely place when leaders “arrive.” Executives are expected to align and inspire people in and out of the enterprise whom they may never have met. They need to make difficult decisions with minimal information. They’re pulled in many directions, and they may find it hard to find people who will give them candid feedback. As a result, executives crave the opportunity to connect with other leaders at their level, receive feedback that will increase their effectiveness, and build on the leadership capabilities that fueled their career growth. This development experience incorporates an assessment, one-on-one coaching, group learning, and peer consulting.
It focuses on:
-
Their personal leadership identity, vision, and impact, which anchor their decisions and actions
-
Communication skills to build trust and mobilize action in people who don’t know them personally
-
Scaling the leadership capability in those who roll up to them
The benefits to your organization? More resilient and focused executives who can lead the enterprise through uncertainty, changing markets, and challenging times.
