EDGE Longer Cohorts: Sustained Personal and Professional Development Programs
Lasting Growth Through Leadership (and Life) Development Programs
Lasting leadership growth doesn’t happen in a single workshop. It takes time, trust, and practice. That’s why our Longer Cohorts are designed as 6–12 month leadership development programs, powered by PEER Technology®.
These cohort-based programs give leaders a consistent space to practice new skills, share real challenges, and strengthen resilience through transition. The result? Leaders who are not only ready for what’s next—but who can carry your culture forward.
One Model. Many Powerful Applications.
EDGE Longer Cohorts are used by organizations to develop leaders, strengthen culture, onboard new grads, support individual contributors, and create personal development communities during times of stress or transition. The same PEER Technology® model works across levels, industries, and business goals.
Building Growth Mindsets That Last: The Power of Group Coaching Cohorts
EDGE Cohorts are ideal when organizations want to:
✓ Curate (and Cascade) Psychological Safety, helping people get more comfortable with the uncomfortable so they can communicate honestly and grow with confidence.
✓ Develop leadership pipelines by preparing early, mid, and senior professionals for what’s next in both their careers and lives.
✓ Build cultural momentum by breaking down silos and strengthening collaboration across teams, regions, and functions.
✓ Cultivate growth mindsets that empower people to navigate change, embrace uncertainty, and lead with confidence.
✓ Strengthen resilience so individuals can adapt, recover, and thrive during high-growth periods and market disruption.
✓ Retain and engage top talent by investing in development that creates connection, belonging, and purpose.
Growth mindsets aren’t born. They’re built. Through EDGE group coaching, people learn to Wayfind, building the clarity, courage, and self-trust needed to move through transition together and create forward momentum.
What’s Included in Our Leadership Coaching Cohorts
Every EDGE Longer Cohort combines the power of peer-to-peer learning with personalized support:
Peer Triad Coaching Circles
Small groups of three meet regularly to deepen trust, coach one another, and apply skills in real time. Triads may rotate two to three times depending on program length.
Large-Group Peer Mentoring Circles
Participants come together in facilitated sessions to share challenges, exchange best practices, and build collective wisdom across levels and functions.
Peer Mentoring Masterminds
Guided spaces where cross-level peers bring real business or personal challenges and work through them together, generating actionable insights and shared accountability.

Senior leaders lend perspective and offer lived experience to support growth across levels.
1:1 Leadership Coaching

Experiential Learning (EXL)
