“Cohort learning unlocks the brain’s potential—creating new neural pathways, engaging emotions, and transforming leadership identity through shared experience and actionable feedback.”
— Sam Rockwell
Toolkit Customized for Your Challenges
Each session, Doc Roc presents you with actionable tools you can take back to your workplace and start applying immediately. This research-based proprietary kit includes:
Self-awareness tools and assessments
Organizational assessments
Team insight tools
Frameworks for reframing and tackling your challenges differently
Action Planning
The real test of a learning effort is in the knowledge you gain, the skills you develop, and the results you achieve.
Having a solid action plan is essential for reaching these goals and staying focused on the reasons you joined the group in the first place.
Each session features dedicated time for action planning, progress reporting, and feedback.
Fishbowl One-on-One Mentoring
In each cohort meeting, Doc Roc conducts a one-on-one mentoring session with one cohort member on a real-life situation they are facing (a “hot seat”). In this session, he offers the insights he has gained from four decades of research, writing, consulting, and leading organizations toward success.
Whether you are the primary consulting participant or participating as an observer, you will gain powerful insights to apply within your own work context.
Curated Group of Peers
Each session offers you the opportunity to share and learn from the wisdom, insights, and experiences of a talented group of peers.
The relatability, informal support, learning, and exposure to insights gained from environments different from your own creates a powerful cross-pollination effect that enhances your own knowledge and performance, resulting in increased confidence and motivation.
One-on-One Strategy Session
You are invited to schedule one strategy session with Doc Roc to set goals, evaluate your strengths and development areas, and discuss action planning and skill development. The aim of this session is to offer you the information, skills, and confidence you need to tackle your challenges, make strategic choices, and get results that matter.
Your Name in Print
The capstone experience of the cohort is producing and publishing a collaborative article that shares your insights and documents your learning and achievements.
Getting your name and insights in print begins to create valuable thought leadership for you as a competent leader who has risen to the unique challenges facing you.
Membership in the Company
Doc Roc runs several leadership development cohorts and events. When you join the cohort, you also become a member in the Company, able to exchange wisdom, learning, advice, and insights with the broader community of leaders.
The Doc Roc Community consists of leaders spanning industries, organization sizes, and career stages. Membership in this active community gives you unparalleled access to this talented network of likeminded leaders. The value of this membership for your personal and professional development is simply priceless.
