Group Coaching Program

The Congruent Leader Coaching Circle

Thriving Through Vocational Transitions

An online facilitated peer cohort for senior business, nonprofit, and ministry leaders preparing for a major vocational transition, such as succession planning or retirement — designed to help you develop a growth plan for your next chapter and sustain your impact.

Fall/Winter 2026–2027 Cohort

The Transformational Goal: Transition from Success to Congruence

Move beyond standard succession planning to steward your wisdom, identity, and life calling. Congruent leaders "know who they are and consistently lead from their true identity" across every season of life. Together, we will address the core questions of transition: Who am I when standard titles and workplace expectations drop away? How do I leverage my life message, core strengths, and faith to steward my remaining years of influence? How do I design a purposeful next chapter that aligns with my true identity and purpose?

Who This Is For

Senior executives, ministry leaders, and business owners who are navigating a significant life and career inflection point, such as a succession plan, searching for a new role, or preparing for retirement. This cohort is for experienced leaders looking for a high-trust, confidential peer community to process transition dynamics, steward their influence, and build an actionable roadmap for what's next.

Program Structure

Duration

12 weeks (November to February)

Cohort Size

Capped at 8 vetted senior leaders to maximize personal airtime, build deep peer trust, and deliver high-value live coaching during group sessions.

Group Sessions

6 live online sessions (90–120 minutes) featuring facilitated cohort discussions, live coaching demonstrations, and practical strategies.

Guest Leader Spotlights

2 specialized sessions featuring senior leaders who have successfully navigated career transitions, legacy stewardship, and maintaining identity through vocational changes.

Peer Community & Resources

Dedicated asynchronous channel for ongoing peer encouragement, shared growth frameworks, and shared transition resources.

Action Plan & Post-Cohort Follow-Up

Complete the program with a clear, implementable post-cohort development plan. Includes a follow-up coaching check-in within 6 months to assess progress, provide accountability, and offer mid-course guidance.

Some leaders prefer to work through this privately. A one-on-one option is available — see the Investment section below. See the Investment section below.

Deliverables

Our framework is built around three transformation objectives tailored to leadership transitions:

Uncover Core Identity: Separate your true identity and self-worth from workplace roles and organizational titles.
Clarify Future Calling: Identify where and how you are called to serve in your next season — whether through board work, mentoring, volunteering, or purposeful hobbies.
Finish Well & Lead with Congruence: Finish your current role with integrity while designing a post-executive life of purpose and alignment.

The peer community, group coaching, training material, development planning, guest speakers, peer conversations, and personal homework are simply the mechanisms to help you get there.

Key Discussion Topics

These will be tailored specifically to the cohort's goals and transition challenges.

Transition & Legacy Planning

Moving from professional success to kingdom/community significance.

Leveraging Strengths & Stewarding Talents

Focusing your remaining energy on your natural design and core gifts.

Developing & Coaching Next-Gen Leaders

Setting healthy boundaries around capacity, energy, and leadership weaknesses as you transition.

Identity vs. Workplace Expectations

Untangling personal self-worth from title, power, and organizational performance.

Work, Spirit & Purpose Beyond Employment

Integrating spiritual life and calling into the coming years.
