Why Co/Lab?

Senior leaders aren’t limited by skill. They’re limited by the internal blindspots, assumptions, and pressures that shape their judgment under real stakes—and by the reality that there’s almost nowhere to talk about these dynamics openly.

Inside the organization, conversations are political. Outside, there’s no shared context.

Co/Lab solves this gap. It provides a confidential environment where leaders gain clarity, steadiness, and better decision-making capacity—the elements that directly influence execution and outcomes.

What It Is

Co/Lab is a facilitated, high-trust cohort of senior leaders who meet regularly to work through real decisions, leadership challenges, and internal dynamics that impact performance. It’s a space where you don’t just talk about leadership. You practice it.

You get:

• A place to speak plainly about what’s actually happening

• Peer perspective from leaders at your altitude who understand complex responsibility

• Clarity about the patterns driving your reactions and choices

• A structure that keeps your most important leadership work front and center

• A practice field to experiment with new responses before bringing them back into the business

Who It’s For

Co/Lab is designed for leaders with meaningful scope and responsibility, such as:

• VPs, Executive Directors, GMs, SVPs, and rising C-suite leaders

• Operators leading divisions, P&Ls, or large teams

• Senior leaders in high-growth or high-complexity environments

• Directors with expanding influence and real decision authority

How It Works

• Small, curated cohort of 6–8 senior leaders

• Facilitated sessions focused on real challenges and real decisions

• Consistent cadence (monthly half day meetings in morning, afternoon or evening)

• Full confidentiality to support honest dialogue

• Commitments: presence, honesty, openness, and readiness to engage the work

Your role is simple: show up willing to look at what’s true in your leadership and engage fully with your peers.

Fit Check

Co/Lab only works when everyone is operating at a high level of integrity, honesty, and commitment.

You’re a fit if you:

• Lead at significant scope and feel the weight of your decisions

• Want unfiltered conversations about what’s actually happening

• Are willing to examine your own patterns, not just external problems

• Value peers who challenge you and sharpen your thinking

If you join, you commit to our Co/Lab principles:

• Confidentiality - trust is non-negotiable

• Openness - bring the real challenge, not the polished version

• Mutual Accountability - show up consistently and engage fully

• Learning Mindset - be willing to see, test, and shift your patterns

Next Step

If you’ve reached the point where the bottleneck isn’t capability—it’s the patterns you’re running—Co/Lab is where you shift them.
