Leading for equity together
Leaders develop other leaders
Group coaching offers leaders a rich experience to learn from one’s own experience as well as through the experience of others. When Five Frogs leaders learn together, it is mutually inspiring, energizing and deeply meaningful.
In Spring 2025 we will offer the following Peer Learning Groups:
- Connected Voices: Group Coaching for BIPOC Leaders (with Roosevelt Smith)
This group coaching experience is designed to empower BIPOC leaders throughout Connecticut as they work to usher in a better, more equitable future for all. This initiative is aimed at fostering individual discoveries and transformation by expanding leaders’ awareness, knowledge, and skills to address social injustices and advance equity. - From Resilience to Regeneration: A New Leadership Praxis (with Yaniyah Pathfinder Pearson and Lindsey Tengatenga)
An offering for Executive Directors and organizational leaders ready to move from survival toward whole systems transformation. This series is designed for leaders navigating the pressures of mission-driven work while holding the long arc of equity and liberation. It’s a space for brave, values-aligned inquiry and embodied practice. - Managing with Power, Intention, and Purpose: A Peer Learning Circle for New(ish) Managers (with Marissa Badgley)
This peer learning cohort is designed to provide new(ish) managers with tools, frameworks, and community for navigating management with confidence, clarity, equity, and purpose. Participants will explore the power of management as both a function and a force for organizational and social change. - White Peer Learning Cohort (with Jason Fredlund)
A six-session program designed to support a cross-sector cohort of white professionals in a process of education, self-agitation, and action towards racial justice. This program aims to deepen participants’ individual and collective understanding of race/racism and expand our skill/capacity to engage in the work of racial justice within our personal lives and professional roles.

What are the benefits of small group coaching?
In group coaching, every leader benefits from productive, trusting relationships with their peers and the coach. You will have the opportunity to:
- Connect at a deep level with other leaders working towards equity
- Create a confidential space to experiment, learn and grow
- Take your leadership to the next level
- Share your gifts, strengths & experiences with peers
- Experience personal discovery and transformation
- Have fun and meet new people
How does group coaching work?
Small groups of 4-5 leaders commit to each other and to a series of coaching sessions.
- A professional coach convenes and facilitates a series of sessions with the group
- Groups may meet virtually or in-person, or a blend of both
- The group decides the discussion
- The group may be an affinity group, and may be assembled by Five Frogs or by the leaders themselves
- Each member commits to participating in every session and pays a fee for the coaching
- Five Frogs recruits and supports many diverse coaches to lead the groups
“Group coaching was a way for me to slow down and take a breath to take a long view of my leadership perspective. Sharing the experience with new colleagues in a similar profession helped show me that we all face similar challenges and opportunities and the group experience allowed for insights that I do not think would have been possible in a one on one coaching experience.”
