What Participants Are Saying

“The LTC experience is transformational.”
There is so much to think about when navigating an organizational transition—and the LTC covers it all. The guidance is superb; the content accessible and well-organized; and Scott and Christa are exceptional. But beyond all this, the community that you are part of is invaluable—you'll learn so much from your peers going through similar processes themselves. I can't recommend this highly enough.
— LTC Participant

“It's been great to participate in the cohort as I've moved through the various stages of my leadership transition.”
The mutual support and regular reflection that comes from being part of a cohort, and the thoughtful coaching from Christa and Scott, has helped me to move forward more calmly and more confidently than would otherwise have been the case, and to make sure I'm taking care of myself as well as the organization which I lead.
— Alan Hudson, outgoing Executive Director of Global Integrity

“The LTC cohort has been more valuable than I could have imagined.”
Christa and Scott have both navigated these waters with self-awareness, and they also have diligently researched every element of the transition. Being with other transitioning leaders and surfacing our challenges together has made those challenges less daunting. For me, it's been too easy to immerse myself in the organization and deprioritize continued exploration of who I am and what I want my life to look like, and the LTC cohort has given me space and tools to explore both the needs of the organization and my own needs.
— LTC Participant

“Being part of the LTC community is more effective and spirit-raising than any other support for transition I could imagine.”
Not only do you get the incredible experience and kindness of Christa and Scott's attention, but also the cohort of executives who usually have no one else to turn to for the hard questions. With LTC, we have each other.
— LTC Participant
