Challenged with leading a virtual team?
Leaders in today’s global environment need to be competent in so much more than just business and strategic skills in order to be effective. Are you finding yourself struggle in keeping your team together, is your intercultural team unproductive or is there low engagement in your organization?
From Holding Back to Speaking Up
1. Do I need to consider myself an “introvert” to participate?
No. This cohort is designed for leaders who tend to be thoughtful, reflective, and sometimes more comfortable thinking things through before speaking. Many participants identify as introverted, but what matters most is that you resonate with the experience of overthinking, holding back, or wanting more confidence in high-stakes conversations.
2. What does “practice-based” actually mean?
Rather than focusing mainly on theory, this cohort centers on real leadership situations from your work.
Participants often bring moments such as:
- an upcoming feedback conversation
- meeting where they want to speak up more clearly
- conflict or tension on their team
- presentation or decision discussion with senior leaders
We explore these situations together and practice small shifts in how you approach them. Between sessions, you try those shifts in real life and reflect on what you notice.
The emphasis is on learning through experience, not getting it perfect.
3. Will I be expected to role-play or speak in front of the group?
Participation is encouraged but not forced.
Many exercises happen in pairs or small breakout conversations, which tends to feel more natural for introverted leaders. The goal is to create a space where you can experiment and learn without feeling put on the spot or asked to perform.
You are always invited to participate at the edge that feels right for you.
4. What kind of leaders benefit most from this program?
This cohort tends to work especially well for leaders who:
- are relatively new to people leadership
- are technically strong but want more confidence in communication
- notice themselves overthinking under pressure
- want to speak up more clearly in meetings or conversations
- care deeply about leading well without becoming someone they’re not
5. How much time should I expect to commit?
The core commitment is:
- One 2-hour group session each month
- Optional learning partner conversations between sessions
- Optional individual Laser Coaching sessions in-between group sessions (max. 40 min/month)
- Occasional reflection or small experiments to try in real leadership situations
Many participants find that the real learning happens as they notice and apply small shifts during their normal work, rather than adding large amounts of extra time.
6. What happens in the orientation conversation before the program begins?
Before the cohort starts, each participant has a 30-minute orientation conversation with the facilitator.
This conversation helps you:
- reflect on what you most want to work on
- ask questions about how the cohort works
- arrive with clarity and intention
It’s not an evaluation or assessment — simply a way to create a strong starting point for you and the group.
7. What if I realize the cohort isn’t the right fit once it begins?
Because this is a significant investment of time and attention, we include an early check-in.
If, after the first month, you feel the cohort isn’t the right fit for you, you’re invited to reach out so we can talk it through together and decide on the best path forward.

Lost in Transition
*New Online Workshop *
Find your Way Home!
Date TBD
Many of us have experienced major life transitions over the past year such as working from home, family changes, graduation or loss of loved ones.
Finding your way “home” is a journey of exploration from feeling lost to a new vision for your life after a life transition. In this 8-hour workshop (in 4 sessions) we explore the three stages of major life transition and why it’s important to go through all 3 stages mindfully. We learn about and explore grief, resilience, creating a support system that keeps supporting you, designing positive next steps and more.
