LEAD FOUNDATIONS

Guided by ICF-certified, trauma-informed, and equity centered executive coaches, NADOHE's LEAD Coaching Circles are a confidential, peer-driven space to work through real challenges in real time alongside leaders at your career stage.

For Emerging & High-Potential Leaders

Accelerate your transition from individual contributor to strategic leader. A facilitated peer space to explore organizational leadership, deepen self-awareness, and discover how your values, purpose, and strengths can shape your emerging leadership style alongside peers at a similar career stage.

LEAD Foundations creates space for emerging leaders to step back from the day-to-day, make sense of their evolving leadership identity, and learn alongside peers navigating similar transitions. Through facilitated coaching conversations, reflection, and peer learning, participants will explore what it means to lead with greater intention, influence, and alignment.

Participants will engage in conversations about:

  • Seeing the systems around your work
  • Aligning leadership with values and purpose
  • Building self-awareness and leadership confidence
  • Developing influence and strategic thinking
  • Building trust and navigating relationships
  • Defining an intentional leadership practice
