Linda Clark is leading a series of national cohorts to create an inclusive space for system stewards.

These are live, virtually facilitated leadership cohorts designed for leaders operating inside real constraints.

Participants bring responsibility, institutional knowledge, and accountability into the room.

This is not content delivery. This is shared thinking, guided dialogue, and applied sense-making with peers who understand complexity.

These sessions are for Senior Leaders accountable for outcomes, culture, and risk and decision-makers responsible for developing others without destabilizing operations

What it isn’t...


  • This is NOT compliance training.

  • This is NOT prerecorded content.

  • This is NOT fluff.

  • This is NOT prerecorded content.

Leaders examine real conditions, name tensions, and strengthen judgment. Work focuses on decision quality, relational health, and system resilience.

Diversity of Perspective

Cross-industry rooms sharpen judgment.

Working alongside leaders outside your immediate context exposes patterns that are often invisible inside a single system.

That perspective transfers back into decision-making, communication, and culture.

How Enrollment Works

These are application-based cohorts by design. The application process protects
the quality of the room and the experience for everyone involved.

  • Submit one application

  • Select the cohort you’re applying for

  • Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, as received

  • If accepted, you’ll receive an invitation to complete registration

  • Registration is not complete until payment is received

This isn’t about exclusivity for its own sake. It’s about creating conditions where
the work actually works.
