INTEGRATED Cohorts
Become the Leader You Were Created to Be
For leaders who feel pulled in too many directions and know they are being invited to lead differently.
Leadership is not simply about what we do. It is shaped by what has formed us, what we carry, and how we respond under pressure.
INTEGRATED is a 6-month cohort experience that creates space to step back, examine what has formed you as a leader, and begin carrying responsibility from a more grounded and integrated place.
2027 applications are now open for in-person and virtual cohorts.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You may be carrying the weight of work, family, faith, relationships, decisions, expectations, and the quiet pressure of being someone so many others depend on.
You may look capable on the outside while feeling stretched thin on the inside.
You may be asking:
- Why does leadership feel heavier than it should?
- What is actually shaping the way I respond under pressure?
- How am I responsible without carrying everything?
- What needs to be noticed, released, or reordered?
- How am I being called to lead in this season of my life?
This is where the work begins.
What INTEGRATED Is
INTEGRATED is not another quick fix or surface-level leadership course.
It is a guided cohort experience that brings together leadership formation, reflection, honest conversation, discernment, and practical integration.
The work begins with the person, because how we lead flows from the interior life.
Over six months, you will examine what has formed you as a leader, recognize patterns that surface under pressure, deepen your capacity for true discernment, and begin developing rhythms that support a more peaceful, focused, and purposeful way to live and lead.
What You Will Leave With
GParticipants do not simply leave with new ideas. They leave with practical language, tools, and a developed plan they can continue using.
Through the cohort, you will begin to:
- Understand what has influenced the way you live, respond, decide, relate, and lead
- Recognize patterns, blind spots, and stress responses that may be limiting growth
- Gain clarity on what matters most in this season of your life and leadership
- Develop a more grounded rhythm for prayer, reflection, relationships, work, and rest
- Name a clearer leadership expression rooted in who you are and how you are called to lead
- Create a practical plan for continued growth and accountability
The goal is not simply to learn more about leadership.
The goal is to become more integrated in the way you live, respond, decide, relate, and lead.
What You May Begin to Experience
As you become more intentional about your own formation, leadership begins to feel different.
Not because your responsibilities disappear, but because you begin carrying them differently.
You may begin to experience:
- Greater clarity in decisions and direction
- More steadiness under pressure
- Increased confidence rooted in discernment
- Healthier boundaries and a clearer sense of responsibility
- A stronger ability to lead people, not simply manage outcomes
- A more sustainable rhythm for life, work, faith, and leadership

For Pastors and Parish Teams
The INTEGRATED Leaders Cohort can also serve as the foundation for a broader parish leadership formation pathway.
The work begins with the formation of the leader: prayer, self-awareness, discernment, responsibility, and a more integrated way of living and leading.
From there, pastors and key lay leaders may continue into additional work around shared vision, values, priorities, strategic action, and healthy rhythms for leading together.
Parishes may also choose to continue with implementation support, facilitator formation, or ongoing peer connection so more leaders can be formed from within the parish community.
The goal is not simply to solve today’s challenges. The goal is to form leaders who can carry mission together and continue forming other leaders over time.
