FAQS

What are the dates?
For specific dates/times for each cohort, please see our schedule page here.
How much does Stretch 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.
