Who This Offering Was Designed For

The coaching circles are designed for social justice-minded Executive Directors, Co-Directors, and senior-level leaders who wield their power for greater movement and community impact.

If you are excited about connecting with other leaders and developing your liberatory leadership practice through discussion, support and reflection, then we want you to join us!

If you hold a different leadership position in your organization, stay informed about future offerings by joining our mailing list! We announce different learning and practice spaces throughout the year that you may be interested in.

What To Expect From This Coaching Circle

You will join a cohort of your peers in 12 virtual sessions facilitated by our seasoned coaches and facilitators, Lisa Garrett Keiser and Inca Mohamed. Sessions will alternate between engaging with timely leadership topics, and developing practices to cultivate a coaching approach in your leadership through facilitated peer coaching sessions that support leaders with real time challenges.

Please note that all of our sessions are highly interactive and require members to be present with each other.

Commitment & Expectations

Building the community that makes these coaching circles so special requires participants to trust and rely on one another for support. All sessions are highly interactive, and we ask all accepted applicants to commit to showing up for yourselves and each other for each session, knowing that there will be many competing priorities.

Therefore please only sign up if you can commit to attending all peer and one-on-one coaching sessions. 

Please look at your calendar and review our upcoming session dates. If you cannot participate on one of the scheduled dates, please let us know in advance. To get the most out of your experience, we recommend participants miss no more than one session throughout the cohort.

Our Tiered Pricing Model  

We believe in making liberatory leadership development accessible while also honoring the decades of experience, care, and energy our team brings to this work. 

Which is why we’ve created two pathways for funding your participation in our circle: funder-covered & self-funded participation.                  

Thanks to the generosity of our philanthropic partners, we’re able to offset the cost for a limited number of leaders who are self-funding their participation.

Funder-Covered Participation

Many participants in this cohort may be able to have their enrollment fully covered by a funder or philanthropic partner, including grantee partners of: 

• Hive Fund for Climate & Gender Justice
• Irving Harris Foundation                                                  
• Wellspring Philanthropic Fund
• Ms. Foundation for Women

How to Seek Funding Support

First, start by completing the application, as there will be questions that identify your major funders.

Next, 

• If you are funded by one of our philanthropic partners listed above, we will be in contact with them directly about your participation. Letting them know you applied is great, and we'll take it from here.                                         
• If you are not funded by one of our philanthropic partners listed above, you may still secure support to cover your participation and ongoing coaching. Feel free to use or adapt this template letter, to start that conversation with your funders and major donors. You can also introduce us to your funders so we can start a conversation with them about opportunities to support their grantee partners.

Self-Funded Participation

We’ve reserved a limited number of seats for leaders who are eager to participate outside of securing philanthropic support. Participants may locate themselves in the following pricing tiers:

• Kindred ($3,500): This tier is a stretch for your organization, and this reduced rate is in integrity with current capacity.
• Subsidized Cost ($5,000): This tier resources the cost of your 1:1 coaching, EQi assessment, and the behind-the-scenes administrative and project preparation and support. The peer group sessions are subsidized by our philanthropic partners. 
• Abundance ($6,500): This tier resources your coaching and a little extra.    
• Revolutionary ($10,000): This tier resources your coaching experience while also investing in a broader ecosystem of social justice leaders and makes this opportunity more accessible. 

How To Apply 

Please submit your application by completing the form linked below. Our team will review all applications to ensure a thoughtful and balanced cohort.

Applicants will be notified of their application status by October 19th, along with next steps for confirming your spot and completing payment (if applicable).

Applications are due Oct 2, 2026 at 11:59pm PT.
