Cohort Leadership Programs

Two distinct pathways for developing your leadership — whether you're building your foundation or expanding your impact.

Overview

GLLA’s cohort programs are designed as immersive, multi-month experiences that support deep leadership growth through reflection, connection, and real-world application. 

Each program builds on a shared leadership model while offering a distinct focus and experience. 

Two Pathways

Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)

Lead from who you are

A retreat-style experience focused on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and building strong, trust-based relationships. 

Best for individuals looking to pause, reflect, and strengthen their foundation as a leader.

How They Connect

Our programs are grounded in a shared leadership framework: 

Self → understanding who you are and how you lead

Relationships → building trust and working across difference

Systems → leading change in complex environments

ELP emphasizes self and relationships;
LAP deepens relationships and systems.
