Group Coaching
The Wide Lens Leadership Collective is a virtual leadership group coaching program rooted in conscious and strategic leadership principles. As a member, you will have an executive coach and a group of other leaders you can trust as your “personal board of directors” – individuals you can lean on for advice and support on any given leadership or organizational challenge you find yourself in. Please note there is currently a wait list for enrollment.
What Is Group Coaching?
Group coaching is a powerful peer action learning process that offers a collaborative way to get feedback, diverse perspectives, and learn from the experiences, insights, contributions, and advice from others in similar roles with similar challenges.
Group coaching accelerates the growth of an individual leader and the organizations they lead in a number of ways, including:
- Promotes strategic and productive communication skills
- Builds learning agility and growth mindset
- Supports leaders through change and VUCA challenges
- Develops self-awareness
- Improves team functioning and collaboration
- Develops leaders as coaches
- Provides accountability and accelerates goals
- Deepens creative, strategic, and systems thinking
- Develops interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence
- Inspires strategic navigation through organizational power dynamics and political contexts
- Provides a supportive, confidential community of like-minded leaders

Benefits of Joining the Wide Lens Leadership Collective
Action Learning: You work through real work-related challenges in a group setting, with the benefit of being able to explore the challenge from multiple perspectives and interpretations.
Economical: You get the benefits of ongoing leadership development at a lower cost than individual 1:1 executive coaching.
Community: Members count on one another. This group is more than just a place to network and members share much more than business cards – they share their challenges, needs, direct feedback, referrals, and resources in a confidential setting.
Practice: Many opportunities to practice coaching, listening, presenting, questioning, connecting, and exploring through the group format.
Accountability: With the support of a coach and the group, you will be held accountable to reaching the goals you say you want to achieve.
Executive Coach: A skilled coach and facilitator leads the group to ensure all members participate equally, problems are approached with open exploration, accountability is held, interaction is productive, and the ground rules and goals of the group are met in each session.

As a group, we also journey together through interactive leadership exercises, discussions, guest speakers, and more.
