Group Leadership Development
Peer Leadership Circles
Collective wisdom. Shared growth. Sustainable change.
Leadership can be isolating. These circles create a confidential, intentional space where leaders come together to reflect, share wisdom, and grow alongside others navigating similar levels of responsibility and complexity.
This is not networking. This is not group therapy. This is facilitated leadership development at its deepest level.

In Their Words
What clients say
"
I experienced the building of trust and getting to know each other, learned how to begin to integrate my head and heart in how I lead and live; giving others the benefit of the doubt. I am better able to trust myself and others.
The peer group sessions were high quality, new ideas and exercises each on a theme or direction, Katie’s style was easy and comfortable with an appropriate level of challenge to get me thinking about the related topics. It was very beneficial to me professionally and personally.

Katie was my executive coach as well as conducted group coaching for 6 manager level employees. It was a challenging and yet rewarding experience for everyone. Katie is very effective at stopping the “story” and empowering individuals to take ownership and creating life experiences that YOU want, rather than being a victim of circumstances. It’s a bit challenging at first to go within oneself but it’s also incredibly empowering and freeing to let go of the external focus and rather only focus on oneself and how I want life to be, how I choose to respond to circumstances around me, etc. I could visibly see the transition of my staff as they evolved through the challenging aspects and came out the other side as much happier individuals as well as more effective managers. I highly recommend Katie individually as well as for teams.

I would highly recommend peer group coaching with Katie Smith. Over several years of doing it, I have gained invaluable knowledge shared within the group, support on handling challenges in my business and usable resources that span across industries. Our group has enough in common that we can relate to each other, but one benefit is that we are from different backgrounds and industries so I truly appreciate a fresh look at issues as it helps me think outside the box. We are able to share information in a safe, confidential space and connect with one another which can sometimes be hard for people within the same organization. Katie is a phenomenal facilitator, and asks thought-provoking questions that really push us to grow. And she brings amazing and inspiring energy to the group!
