The Coherent Change Leadership Cohort

A facilitated small group cohort for leaders navigating complex organisational change.

Leadership for complex times

I’m deeply committed to helping leaders who want to create a better world of work. Having led complex organisational change at Twitter, and in my work today supporting leaders, I know how unfit our mainstream leadership approaches are for today’s scale of complexity and pace of change.

The Coherent Change Leadership Cohort is designed to help you develop your capacity to lead with coherence. I’ve chosen the word coherence very intentionally. Coherence happens when all the parts fit together to form a unified whole. It’s a gathering together. A strengthening. A unification.

At a personal coherence level, this is about inhabiting the full human spectrum - cognitive, emotional and somatic - to make sense of and respond to complexity.
At a collective coherence level, this is about creating a space where people feel safe enough to disagree, and supported enough to come into alignment.
At a contextual coherence level, this is about navigating the tension between planned strategy and emerging developments, and knowing how to adapt your leadership style to the context.

Throughout this immersive program, we’ll work with all three levels of coherence.

This cohort is for you if:

You lead in a complex, fast-changing organisation.
You’re supporting a team or organisation through ongoing transformation.
You’re ready to explore new ways of leading that are grounded, relational, and adaptive.
You want more ease and clarity in how you respond to uncertainty and change.
You want to bring more presence and facilitative skills to group conversations.
You want to build your capacity to adapt to emerging developments.
You value connecting with other leaders who are seeking a better way to work and lead in high-change environments.

Cohort outline

Session 1: (Re)orientation
An arrival into the cohort, meeting your peers and exploring the necessary tension between self-authority and connectedness.

Session 2: Meeting our workplace realities
Distinguishing between how work should be and how it really is, this session builds your capacity to see the system more clearly and to work with complexity.

Session 3: Leading in relationship with others
Developing your relational presence, in this session you'll practice non-judgement, noticing more and leadership as connection - increasing your capacity to hold space for others while staying steady in yourself.

Session 4: Collective sense-making
In this session, we'll explore how to surface diverse perspectives and guide people out of entrenched positions into a more workable shared understanding.

Session 5: Navigating deliberate and emergent strategy
Reviewing how deliberate planning and emergent developments interact in complex systems through the lens of polarity, you'll learn how your own preferences impact your response to stability and change.

Session 6: Integration
A reflective session to make sense of your journey, integrate what’s changed for you and commit to the ongoing practices that support coherent leadership.
