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 see how often our mainstream leadership approaches fall short in the face of 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.
- Personal coherence is about inhabiting the full human spectrum - cognitive, emotional and somatic - to make sense of and respond to complexity.
- Collective coherence is about creating a space where people feel safe enough to disagree, and supported enough to come into alignment.
- Contextual coherence 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.

Cohort outline
Session 1: (Re)orientation
Arriving into the cohort, we'll explore some of the core ideas that underpin the program, and experiment with somatic intelligence as a tool for navigating complexity.
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: Leadership as connection
Developing your relational presence, you'll practice non-judgement, noticing more and 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, generate insights and guide groups out of entrenched positions into a more open and fluid dialogue.
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
Our closing session helps you to make sense of your journey, integrate what’s changed for you and commit to the ongoing practices that support coherent leadership.
