Cohort Leadership Development

Leading Through Chaos

Designed for Women Strong Enough to Carry Everything and Ready to Put Some of it Down

The desire for support is like thirst. If we wait too long to quench it, we may already be depleted. Leading Through Chaos offers a brave space for leadership learning and to resource each other and ourselves. It helps women leaders develop the mindset, practices, and support systems needed to navigate complexity with greater clarity, confidence, and joy.

This experience is for women who:

  • Lead organizations, teams, movements and communities

  • Care deeply about the impact they make in the world

  • Feel stretched by competing demands and the unrelenting pace

  • Seek to learn and grow in community with other accomplished  leaders

  • Desire more sustainable ways to lead in their organizations -  and their lives

The Reality of Living In and Through a Polycrisis

Right now, many of us are holding the emotional center of our organizations and communities, supporting increasingly anxious teams, and managing full lives outside of work - often without much space to pause, recalibrate, and be supported ourselves. And we’re expected to be empathetic, decisive, calm, and “fine.”

Add in mid-life transitions — changing family roles, aging parents, shifting identities, questions of meaning — and it’s no wonder so many feel depleted rather than energized by leadership.

Leading through this polycrisis requires a whole new kind of RANGE.

RANGE: A Framework for Navigating Complexity

At the heart of Leading Through Chaos is RANGE, a leadership framework designed to help leaders expand their capacity rather than narrow their possibilities.

your own beliefs and habits without judgment and see how they impact your leadership.

Your Own Path Forward

Leading Through Chaos helps women leaders move from:

Reacting to constant demands from a place of stress

→ To responding with greater intention and ease.

Carrying the burden alone

→ To navigating complexity with new skills inside of a community of thoughtful leaders.

Running on fumes

→ To leading from a place of center and clarity.

Feeling stuck

→ To moving forward with purpose.

Feeling isolated

→ To feeling that you have the community you need and deserve.

Participants leave the program with a deeper understanding of their gifts and what holds them back, a stronger connection to what matters most, and practical ways to lead through uncertainty without losing themselves in the process.

The Leading Through Chaos Experience:

  • Learn in Community

    Leadership doesn't have to be a solitary endeavor. Connect with thoughtful women leaders who will challenge and support you.

  • Make New Leadership Moves

    Access and take on new practices to lead with deeper intention and impact.

Participant Reflections

  • “Whether you have been a leader for a year or 20 years, you will learn something worthwhile. I am taking the insights from this experience directly into my leadership moving forward. It shows up as being unapologetic while still holding on to my values of humility, people first, and service to mission.”

    — Kathy Park, CEO, Evident Change

  • “Leading Through Chaos can give you the space, the tools and the community to claim your confidence and become a stronger, more resilient, and centered leader. It's a joyful experience.”

    — Jennifer Cortner, Marketing Consultant

  • “I think it is difficult for women to commit to investing in themselves the way Leading through Chaos requires – financially, mentally and physically finding the time. There are always other priorities, and we often put others first. I would encourage anyone considering the experience to take the leap of faith, be a bit “selfish” if you will, and invest in yourself and your leadership. I found that the investment was well worth it and ultimately a bargain.”

    — Michele Glidden, Chief Program Officer, Society for Science

  • “Leading Through Chaos was an especially resonant concept in this particular moment. Having gone through it, my guess is that its benefits are evergreen. When the only constant is change, and the deeply grooved habits for responding are so readily accessible, I found the process of pausing, reflecting, and processing with this group of wise women to be immensely helpful and uplifting. Feedback without baggage. Illumination without exhaustion. Accountability without blame. All expertly choreographed to feel safe, nurturing, and authentic.”

    — Alison Rein, CEO, QV Health Solutions
