Month 1: Foundations of Self-Awareness

​

Date: Friday, February 20, 2026

10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT/ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

 

Month One establishes the foundation for the entire program by focusing on self-awareness as a core leadership competency.

​

During this session, you’ll:

• Spend time identifying the values, strengths, and motivations that guide how you show up at work

• Look at patterns you’ve noticed in your leadership and decision-making, especially under pressure

• Share reflections in small groups and listen to how others are navigating similar challenges

• Begin naming what feels steady in your leadership right now and what feels uncertain or strained

 

We’ll also set the tone for how we’ll work together over the six months, creating shared agreements for conversation, listening, and support.

​

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• A clearer sense of what matters most to you in this season of your work

• Greater awareness of what’s helping or hindering you as a leader

• A simple personal focus to carry into the months ahead​

Month 3: Compassionate Leadership Tools 

​

Date: ​Friday, April 17, 2026
10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT/ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

​

Month Three focuses on compassionate leadership as a core professional practice, especially in complex and high-pressure environments.

​

During this session, you’ll:

• Examine what it means to lead with compassion while holding responsibility, authority, and clear expectations

• Explore how empathy, boundaries, and clarity work together in effective leadership

• Practice engaging in difficult conversations with greater steadiness, emotional awareness, and intention

• Work with real situations from your work to think through communication challenges, conflict, and team dynamics

• Learn from the collective experience of the group through facilitated small-group dialogue

​​

We’ll also focus on self-compassion as a leadership capacity, particularly in environments where pace, pressure, and emotional load are high. Attention will be given to how internal responses shape external leadership presence and decision-making.

​

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• Greater confidence in navigating difficult conversations and interpersonal tension

• Clearer, more grounded communication strategies that support trust and collaboration

• A more sustainable approach to leadership that supports both effectiveness and personal well-being

Month 5: Advanced Self Care & Boundaries

​

Date: Friday, June 12, 2026

10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT/ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

​

Month Five focuses on self-care and boundaries as essential leadership practices, not personal add-ons.

 

During this session, you’ll:

• Look closely at the gap between how you’re currently working and what would actually support your energy, focus, and effectiveness

• Explore why boundaries are often hardest to hold in purpose-driven roles, where responsibility, identity, and care for others can override personal limits

• Reflect on how overextension shows up in your leadership, decision-making, and relationships at work

• Share experiences in small groups and learn how others are navigating similar pressures

 

We’ll reframe self-care as a strategic leadership skill — one that supports clarity, discernment, creativity, and long-term resilience, rather than something reserved for time off or crisis moments.

 

You’ll also spend time identifying:

• Small but meaningful shifts that would protect your energy

• Conversations or boundaries that need attention

• Practices that help you stay grounded while continuing to lead with care

​​

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• A clearer understanding of what sustains your leadership over time

• Greater confidence in setting and holding boundaries with intention

• Practical ways to protect your energy while remaining engaged and effective

Month 2: Mindfulness  & Creativity

​

Date: Friday, March 20, 2026

10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT/ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

​

Month Two builds on this foundation by focusing on mindfulness and creative problem-solving in complex work environments.

​

During this session, you’ll:

• Practice noticing what’s happening in the room — the tone, energy, and unspoken dynamics that often shape meetings and decisions

• Learn simple ways to bring presence into conversations, especially when tension, uncertainty, or strong emotions are present

• Explore how pausing and paying attention to undercurrents can shift how problems are understood and approached

• Use creative exercises to look at real work challenges from different perspectives and uncover new possibilities

• Share reflections in small groups and learn how others are working with complexity in their own roles

 

We’ll focus on how mindfulness supports clearer thinking and more responsive leadership when systems are under strain and quick answers aren’t available.

​

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• Greater awareness of group dynamics and how they influence decision-making

• Practical ways to bring presence into meetings and conversations

• New approaches to problem-solving that are more flexible, creative, and grounded

Month 4: Navigating Complex Work Environments

​

Date: Friday, May 15, 2026

10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT/ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

​

Month Four focuses on developing the capacity to lead thoughtfully within complex systems — where cause and effect are rarely straightforward, and change happens unevenly.

 

During this session, you’ll:

• Step back to look more clearly at the systems you’re working within and what makes them feel challenging, stuck, or hard to influence

• Explore how power, relationships, roles, and competing priorities shape what’s possible in your work

• Consider where you sit within these systems and how your position affects what you can see, influence, or shift

• Work with real situations from your own work to understand where effort is being spent without impact, and where small shifts might matter more

 

We’ll introduce practical ways of thinking about systems that help you notice patterns, connections, and leverage points — not to “fix” everything, but to intervene more wisely and with less exhaustion.

 

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• A clearer understanding of the dynamics shaping your work environment

• Greater confidence in navigating complexity without feeling overwhelmed

• A stronger sense of agency about where and how your leadership can make a difference

• New ways of approaching challenges with clarity, creativity, and strategic focus

​​

Month 6:  Integration & Future Planning

​

Date: Friday, June 26, 2026
10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT/ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

​

The final month focuses on integration — bringing together what you’ve learned and clarifying how it carries forward into your work and life.

​

During this session, you’ll:

• Look back over the six months to reflect on how your leadership has shifted, both personally and professionally

• Map key insights, values, and practices that have emerged for you across the program

• Spend time naming what now feels clearer, steadier, or more aligned in how you lead

• Use reflective and visual practices to gather what you want to carry forward, and what you’re ready to release

 

You’ll also step back to consider what comes next. Through structured reflection and peer listening, you’ll articulate priorities for the months ahead and shape a realistic, values-aligned way forward.

The session creates space for shared reflection, accountability, and a sense of completion — honouring both the individual and collective journey of the cohort.

 

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• A clear sense of how your leadership has evolved over the six months

• Greater confidence in the direction you’re moving toward

• A personal, practical roadmap to guide your next steps

• A feeling of closure and continuity as you move forward
