Leadership gets harder exactly when the stakes increase.
Co/Lab is a confidential peer forum where senior leaders work through real organizational challenges with peers operating at comparable scope.
Leaders bring the situations they are actively navigating — decisions affecting strategy, teams, and organizational outcomes. Through structured peer dialogue, leaders gain clearer perspective and move forward with stronger judgment.
THE LEADERSHIP MOMENT
When leaders step into expanded scope, expectations increase immediately. Leadership judgment at that level develops through experience.
Leaders suddenly face situations where:
decisions carry broader organizational consequences
stakeholder dynamics become more complex
the margin for error narrows
there are fewer places to think candidly about the real situation
Co/Lab supports leaders during this transition.
WHAT CO/LAB IS
Co/Lab is a confidential peer forum where senior leaders work through real leadership challenges with experienced peers operating at comparable scope.
Participants bring live organizational situations and examine them through structured, professionally facilitated dialogue designed to sharpen judgment and accelerate forward movement.
This is not training, networking, or classroom development.
It is a forum designed to help leaders see complex situations clearly and move forward with stronger decisions.
HOW CO/LAB WORKS
Small, carefully curated cohorts.
6–8 leaders
one leader per organization
Leaders meet monthly to examine real leadership situations brought by participants.
Sessions focus on:
surfacing the real dynamics behind complex challenges
examining decisions with peer leaders
defining clear next actions
Between sessions, leaders apply what they have learned and return with new experience.
Over time, this cycle strengthens leadership judgment.
BUSINESS IMPACT
Organizations sponsor leaders in Co/Lab to strengthen leadership effectiveness during critical transitions.
The impact shows up in several ways:
Faster Resolution
High-stakes decisions move forward with greater clarity.
Stronger Execution
Strategic initiatives and change efforts land more effectively.
Talent Navigation
Complex people decisions are handled with greater skill.
Succession Depth
High-potential leaders develop enterprise perspective faster, strengthening the leadership pipeline.
WHO PARTICIPATES
Participants are selected based on scope of responsibility, not title.
Typical candidates:
lead leaders within multi-layered organizations
own material business or organizational outcomes
are within ~12–24 months of expanded scope
are identified as high-potential or succession candidates
demonstrate candor and commitment to leadership growth
Only one leader from each organization participates in a cohort.
COHORTS
Co/Lab cohorts are organized around leadership scope and complexity, not formal title.
Two cohorts are forming.
Enterprise Leaders Cohort
Senior leaders operating at enterprise scope — often reporting into the C-suite and shaping cross-organizational strategy.
Senior Leaders Cohort
Leaders responsible for major functions or significant business units transitioning from execution leadership to broader organizational influence.
Participants are carefully curated for comparable scope and meaningful contribution.
Now forming the 2026 Co/Lab Cohorts.
Organizations may nominate leaders currently navigating expanded leadership scope.
