THE SCHEDULE
Thirteen sessions. Thirteen Mondays. One coherent arc.
The Flourishing Framework unfolds over fourteen weeks — each session building deliberately on the one before, each new concept taking root in what participants are already practicing.
The pace is intentional: deep enough to change how you see, spacious enough to let the seeing become doing.
All sessions meet Mondays, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon, May 18 through August 17, 2026.
ONBOARDING
Session 1
Who We Are and Why We're Here
MAY 18
Before content, connection.
Participants meet one another, surface what brought them to this work, and establish the shared commitments that will make the next thirteen weeks genuinely generative.
The cohort itself is one of the most important things this course builds.
Module 01 —
MINDSET: The Invisible Architecture
Session 2
The Leader's Interior
june 1
Before strategy, before culture, before systems — there is the leader's own way of seeing.
We begin with the proposition that unsettles most leadership development: transformation starts inside you, not around you.
Session 3
Below the Waterline
june 8
Events are symptoms. Patterns are causes.
This session teaches the iceberg discipline — learning to read what's beneath the surface of any organizational situation and intervene where real leverage lives.
Module 02 —
ACTIVATE: Creating the Conditions for Co-Ownership
Session 4
The Activation Engine
june 15
Psychological safety and high standards aren't opposites — together they are the soil in which other people's best work grows.
This session makes that combination practical and repeatable.
Session 5
Becoming Bilingual
june 22
Every organization speaks two languages: the language of control and accountability, and the language of agency and possibility.
Most leaders are fluent in only one. This session shows you how to change that.
MID-COURSE APPLICATION LAB
Session 6
What's Actually Shifted
june 29
Before going deeper, we pause.
Participants bring a real leadership challenge to the room and run it through the lenses acquired so far.
Less content, more integration — and a chance to hear what's already changing in how others are seeing.
Module 03 —
REIMAGINE: Seeing the Shape of the Transition
Session 7
Rehearsing Multiple Futures
july 6
We open with Bill Sharpe's map of how serious change-makers think about the future — four distinct orientations, and a clear case for why two of them are the ones this moment demands.
From there, we move directly into scenario development: not prediction, but disciplined preparation for a world that refuses to be singular.
By the end of this session, you will have created your 4 plausible alternative futures for your organization so you can begin to rehearse adaptive strategies.
Session 8
Three Horizons: Where Are You in the Transition?
july 13
The most powerful futures tool in the Framework. Participants map the system they're in, the future they most want, and the emerging signals already pointing the way — locating themselves within the transition they're actually living.
We close by returning to Sharpe's map: with scenario thinking and Three Horizons now in hand, participants see exactly where these tools live, how they work together, and why no serious change-maker can afford to navigate without both.
Module 04 —
LEVERAGE: Questions and Conversations as Culture-Shifting Levers
Session 9
Questions Create Culture
july 20
The questions you normalize are the culture you get.
This session reframes every conversation a leader holds as an act of organizational design — and introduces the question archetypes that shift energy in a room.
Session 10
The Flip
july 27
Deficit talk is a gravity well.
The Listen–Label–Lift move is how you interrupt it — not by denying difficulty, but by standing in a stronger place while you address it.
Participants practice until it becomes a reflex.
Module 05 —
ADAPTATION: The Continuous Practice of Flourishing
Session 11
Micro-Moves That Compound
august 3
Durable change isn't built in retreats and strategic plans.
It's built in how meetings open, how resistance is met, and how the organization narrates its own progress.
This session makes those micro-moves explicit and repeatable.
Session 12
The Architecture Lives
august 10
The final teaching session turns the Framework back on itself: how do you sustain and deepen this practice after the cohort ends?
Participants leave with a personal commitment to the one or two moves that matter most.
SUMMATIVE APPLICATION LAB
Session 13
What You've Built, Where You're Taking It
august 17
The capstone.
Each participant surfaces the shift that matters most — in how they see, how they lead, and what they're now making possible.
The room becomes, for ninety minutes, a living demonstration of everything the Framework teaches.
What Makes This Different
Presence Before Technique
Every session opens with a presence practice, so you lead from quiet influence, not reactive hustle.
Sector-Trusted Tools, One Pathway
Appreciative Inquiry, scenario thinking, Three Horizons, Listen-Label-Lift, and the Impact/Readiness matrix (to name only a few) woven into a single arc.
Reflection Equals Instruction
A mid-course and summative application lab lets you test ideas, dig deeper on key concepts, and explore how you make it all work in your setting.
Purpose-Built Community Zone
A private cohort space keeps resources in one place and invites peer discussion between sessions. Every one of us has something to teach and to learn.
"Every one of us has something to teach and to learn."
