Cohort-based Leadership Development
We specialize in training young and middle-career leaders who are looking for the skills and mindsets that will stretch them beyond their current capacity. Our coaching approach accelerates leadership development by placing people in cohorts and creating safe spaces for leaders to practice vulnerability as strength.
Check out a couple of our signature cohort projects. The Blaze Forward Fellowship in partnership with California Children’s Trust supported emerging leaders in their early 20’s to develop the attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that unlock strong leadership practice.
Blaze Consulting Group serves as Lead Coaches and Anchor Partner to On The Verge, a 17 year old leadership experience that has boosted the effectiveness of nonprofit and public sector leaders throughout the State of California. With funding from the SH Cowell Foundation and the California Office of Child Abuse Prevention, we continue the work of developing and sustaining a pipeline of leaders for the human service field.
