Cohort Learning

Empowering Teams Through Strengths-Based Development

We believe that growth thrives in community. Our Cohort Learning Opportunities are designed to unite groups of 8 to 12 professionals in a collaborative environment where shared experiences and diverse perspectives enhance the learning journey.

Each ten-week cohort provides a structured and immersive experience, guiding participants through critical mindset shifts and the application of skills aligned with our 10 fundamental PHD Program tenets. This duration offers ample time for deep engagement, real-world application, and consistent growth, all while fostering accountability within the group.

A distinctive feature of our cohorts is the emphasis on co-created solutions. Participants actively collaborate to identify challenges and develop strategies, ensuring that the learning experience is directly relevant and immediately applicable to their professional contexts. This co-creation process not only enhances problem-solving skills but also empowers individuals to take ownership of their development.

By participating in our Cohort Learning Opportunities, professionals embark on a transformative journey from good to great, and maybe even legendary, through collective effort, shared wisdom, and mutual support.
