What is a Connection Cohort?
Connection Cohorts are a year-long, virtual experience designed to help you:
⚡️Find & connect with a small group of like-minded leaders and…
⚡️…build a structure and rhythm that will facilitate meaningful peer support and friendships that become an integral part of your life.
A Connection Cohort might be right for you if…
You are in a position of leadership.
You might be a corporate executive, a leader of a non-profit, an author/speaker, an entrepreneur, or another type of leader. Regardless of the specifics, you’re in a position of leadership and influence and long for a community of people who are also called to vocational leadership in some capacity.
You are ready to PRIORITIZE community,
…friendship, connection, and the necessary self-work and reflection required to build healthy, honest, committed relationships. You’re ready to push through the (very normal!) discomfort of vulnerability and true authenticity to build a community of people who don’t leave the room.
You are ready and willing to invest…
…your time, finances, and energy into building community and serving your fellow cohort members with your presence and availability. The Connection Cohort is a high commitment (and we hope even higher value!) initiative. Please only apply if you have the capacity to prioritize and invest in this group.
Why Connection Cohorts?
We were created for connection. In fact, according to the longest study on human wellness and longevity, researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered that the quality of your relationships is the SINGLE GREATEST predictor of how long you will live and how happy you will be. Connection matters!
We long (and were created) to feel truly seen and supported. So many people desire to have their “village” but are asking HOW. How do I find and build a village of support, connection, and relational safety?
The bad news is: It’s usually not something you can “find” or stumble upon. The good news is, with intention and commitment, you CAN build it. And we want to help you do just that.
How does it work?
A Connection Cohort is a year-long, facilitated cohort of 6-8 like-minded leaders who desire deeper connection and community in their lives.
This is not a business mastermind or place to solve problems or “network” with fellow leaders.
Rather, our aim is to help you cultivate a small group of intimate friendships marked by honesty, vulnerability, and commitment to holding space and being present with one another through the messes and miracles of life together.
The Connection Cohort will start with a mandatory training that each member is required to attend.
Connection Cohorts will happen at a consistent, agreed-upon time, once a month for 3 hours per meeting for one year.
Liz will facilitate each monthly meeting for the first six months.
For the second six months, I will intentionally pass the baton to YOU to lead and self-facilitate your time together, but we will be available to help provide support as your group continues to grow in connection and commitment.
There are high expectations around attendance and commitment to both the in-person retreat and the monthly meetings. Please only apply if you are in a season of life where you are ready and able to commit fully to the group.
I am a leader, entrepreneur & connection coach. I know firsthand…
…how important community and connection are for everyone, but especially leaders. Yet, leaders face unique challenges in experiencing an authentic and transparent community.
However, it is POSSIBLE! Healthy leaders build healthier lives, families, companies, and communities. The ROI to your health is a healthier world.
I’ve been studying and practicing community building for 15 years. While I speak on stage to hundreds of thousands of people a year about social health, it is the joy of my life to bring those principles to life in a hands-on, small group setting designed to create flourishing and secure connections that can change your life (like they have mine!)
Investing in relationships and social health is one of the single best investments you will make into your life, both as a leader and as a human, and I’d be honored to guide you on that journey.

My hope for you is…
Know and be known.
My hope is that through joining a Connection Cohort, you will know yourself in a deeper way and gain insights and perspective into the unique way you are wired and the unique story you’ve lived. I also hope you feel known and seen by your cohort members, who can reflect the truth of who you are back to you, and you can do the same for them.
Learn new relational skills.
I hope that you learn new skills and methodologies for creating community and secure connections that benefit you in every area of your life. Your Connection Cohort will give you a safe and committed place to practice the skills and become a healthier version of yourself while contributing the collective health and growth of our group.
Build life-changing friendships.
I hope that your Connection Cohort members become dear friends with whom you feel you can be fully honest, who offer their support and presence (not advice!) as you navigate the challenges of leadership, and who celebrate and rejoice with you in the blessings. I hope you feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment in knowing you are doing the same for them.
