What makes a cohort work
Six to twelve members per cohort
Big enough for diversity
Small enough that everyone speaks.
CEOs with CEOs, CFOs with CFOs
Same problems, same vocabulary
Peers who already speak your language.
Monthly to quarterly meetings over twelve months
Long enough to build trust
And tackle hard things together.
What's said in cohort stays in cohort
The depth of conversation depends on it
So the real learning can happen.

ViewLeaders speak plainly about the work
This cohort gave me permission to be honest about the weight of leading during transition. I left with a plan and people who understand it.
Sarah Chen
Executive Director, Pioneers USA
You sit with people solving the same problems in different contexts. That cross-pollination is worth more than any conference breakout.
James Morrison
Chief Financial Officer, Wycliffe Bible Translators
The confidentiality made all the difference. We talked about things we couldn't say anywhere else, and that's where the real learning happened.
