    FAQS

    What are the dates?

    For specific dates/times for each cohort, please see our schedule page here.

    How much does Stretch Leadership Academy cost?

    $4,000 and you can call for private sessions. But let’s talk about the value. What’s the cost of losing 20% of your top performers? Our data says $15-$20,000 to replace a key leader. Additionally, consider the added-value of tying your corporate strategy into department outputs? When you invest in your people, they’re far more likely to deliver a higher caliber of work and lead happier, more productive teams. We believe the value of this program is 5-10 times the cost.

    Will participants work alongside other leaders?
    Yes! One of the big advantages of our cohort is that you will be in a cohort with 15-20 other Cincinnati leaders. Pairing with peers inspires bigger ideas, more collaborations, and the opportunity to share challenges and triumphs.
    Where are you located?

    We are located in Cincinnati and serve the Tri-State. All in-person sessions will be at Swaim Lodge; Swaim Park (7650 Cooper Rd, Montgomery, OH 45242).
