Leadership Cohorts at the ElevatHER Leadership Institute
Leadership cohorts at the ElevatHER Leadership Institute are structured, cohort-based leadership development experiences designed to support women leaders through collective learning, guided reflection, and intentional growth.
Our cohorts bring together women leaders at similar stages of leadership to engage in facilitated learning, peer dialogue, executive-level coaching, and applied leadership development. Unlike one-time trainings or standalone coaching, leadership cohorts provide continuity, accountability, and community—supporting sustained leadership growth over time.
Cohorts are grounded in real-world leadership challenges and are designed to strengthen confidence, strategic thinking, leadership presence, and decision-making within a trusted, supportive environment.
