Description
The Genuine Contact Leadership Learning Cohort Pilot is not a classroom program. It is an experiential learning journey inside a real global organization, the International Genuine Contact Organization (IGCO), where you practice holistic leadership by doing real work alongside peers from six continents. You build capacity not by studying it, but by living it.
This special Pilot is an opportunity for people who have already experienced the Genuine Contact Way. You might be a member, you might even have long experience from working with Genuine Contact. This could still be for you. The 3-month pilot will give you an opportunity to re-connect with peers and with Genuine Contact as it is today with new Learning paths, new workshops and tools.
What is included in the Pilot:
- Orientation to the Genuine Contact Way and the International Genuine Contact Organization – giving you the shared foundation that exists now.
- Two self-study workshops – Path to Organizational Health that has been available for years and Balance and Organizational Transformation Basics for Success that was recently added to the Learning Paths.
- Your own learning plan – Guidance to set personal learning goals and create an individual schedule that fits your context, balancing guided sessions with your own projects and practice.
- Reflective sessions – Regular space for active reflection, questions, check-points to review your learning goals and support from experienced Genuine Contact practitioners, so your learning stays connected to what is actually happening in your work.
- Playground sessions – Exploratory sessions where you try out Genuine Contact tools and processes in a low-stakes setting, building familiarity and confidence before applying them in real situations.
- Real practice inside the IGCO – Opportunities to take leadership in actual IGCO meetings, working groups, and projects, so your learning is grounded in real organizational life rather than simulations.
- A path forward – At the end of the cohort, you leave with a clear picture of your own ongoing learning journey, so the practice continues long after the cohort does.
