COHORTCohort-Based Peer Learning Communities
Build and strengthen the skills of your organization’s leaders by strengthening your commitment and practices to justice and liberation
We customize leadership learning for communities of internal employees, networks, affinity groups, grantees, grantmakers, faculty, boards of directors, alliances and collaborations, and others. We integrate a lens of racial and gender equity, justice and liberation in our curriculum and pedagogy.
Our practice builds on the following areas of expertise
Cohort Learning
Whether a group of executives from multiple nonprofits or a single agency’s management team, we know that leaders learn best with and from their peers.
Holistic Development
Using our expertise in adult learning, human behavior, racial and gender equity, and social change, we cultivate leaders’ intellectual, emotional, and practical acumen to ignite deep and enduring change.
Action Learning
We bring together practical knowledge, direct application, and personal practice into the context of leaders’ daily work and organizing. We invite participants to create leadership plans and act on real-time challenges.
Our Approach
We co-create brave learning spaces in which communities of leaders commit to:
Justice and liberation practices
Self-examination and reflection to build self-awareness and engage personal agency
Examining practices and systems of oppression
Intentional application of new learning
Cultivating relationships to form trust and build community
Renewal and well-being as core to individual and community leadership sustainability
We look forward to working with you and your organization to strengthen the collective practices towards justice and liberation.
This work takes internal fortitude, collaboration, grounding, and collective visioning. We are honored to be on this journey with so many brilliant leaders, visionaries, creators, and disruptors.

A NOTE ABOUT DEIB SERVICES
We are phasing outour diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging consulting work. Over the past five years, we have been called upon and provided DEIB consulting support to many organizations. This has been important and hard work. As LeaderSpring continues its evolution we are reexamining the resources required to do this work sustainably and well, along with the current appetite for the financial, emotional, and time investments we ask of our client partners. t Justice and liberation remain the central drive and goal of our work as we launch our new offerings.

“
LeadStrong is a transformative experience. Every gathering was cathartic, where I found myself unlearning inequitable non-profit norms and reimagining how to work in service of racial equity. I am honored to be in such a powerful cohort and am grateful for this experience.
