Group Therapy – Reimagined for Talent in High Pressure Careers

A novel leadership development program for exceptional talent in law, finance, consulting, and PE or VC-backed companies. 

Our program was designed by a team of executive coaches, seasoned operators, and former executive educators from Harvard Business School.

 

We invite you to join professionally moderated group discussions — and engage in powerful conversations with talented peers who are expected to deliver consistent results under extreme pressure — and prepare mentally to take on even greater leadership responsibility in yiur organization.

Why Did We Create this Program?

Top performers are understandably proud of their reputation as hard chargers — tough as nails — who consistently deliver economic value, regardless of uncertainty, chaos, and changing industry dynamics.

Beneath the surface though, they experience the same uncomfortable emotions and feelings as the rest of us – yet they must continue to perform at a high level even as they take on more leadership responsibility.

If personal feelings are neglected, discomfort will morph into a toxic culture, dysfunction, and attrition.

Program Benefits 

The Group Therapy Program reinforces and elevates your leadership capabilities under increasing pressure, as you:

  • Receive data-driven, actionable feedback from our assessment experts on your leadership effectiveness, style, blind spots, and development plan.​​​​​​​​​

  • Identify how your (hidden) emotions impact your ability to make sound decisions, achieve business results, and develop meaningful relationships. 

  • Develop a more realistic understanding of how other people see you, versus how you view yourself.​ There is always a gap.

  • ​​Discover how your peers have transformed uncomfortable feelings – like stress, anxiety, and fear – into new mindsets and best practices that help them achieve exceptional results.

  • See your own challenges through the perspective of others, and build a broader, more effective tool-kit for dealing with future stress and uncertainty. 

  • Ask specific questions to our remarkable lineup of guest speakers on our private podcast. Recent guests include:​​

Who Should Join?

This program was designed for exceptional talent in high-pressure careers:

  • High-potential leaders preparing to take on increasing levels of responsibility.

  • Individuals willing to take on the risks of openly giving and receiving honest feedback. This is not a 'check-the-box' program for detached observation.

Activities & Takeaways

  • Original Case Studies. A cornerstone of this program is a bespoke portfolio of real-life scenarios, prepared by our team of former Harvard Business School case writers – based on actual, stressful challenges of our participants. The case studies feel more real and relatable than generic, outdated content used at most business schools.

​​

  • Group Discussions. Talk about personal challenges and share your feelings in cathartic, professionally moderated discussions.  

  • Real-Time Feedback. Practice giving and receiving direct feedback in group settings. Sharing feedback is hard – asking for honest feedback is even more difficult. Our coaches and group facilitators help you do both.

  • Individual Coaching. Join deep-dive sessions with your individual coach about your own personal challenges.

  • Professional Assessment. At the end of the 90-day program, receive confidential feedback from our team of experts, and a 360-degree assessment of your leadership style, blind spots, psychological triggers, and development opportunities.

  • Individual Development Plan. Create a personalized leadership development plan, under the supervision of our team of expert coaches.
