What are Ela Cohorts?

Ela Cohorts are exclusive groups that begin their journey together during specific registration periods, which open twice a year. Each cohort follows the same structured six-month timeline, progressing through the stages of the GROWTH Blueprint® as a united group. This approach ensures members build strong connections and a sense of community, fostering peer support and collaborative learning throughout their journey. 

Members are encouraged to continue their membership after the initial six months to stay connected with their original cohort, deepening relationships and sharing long-term progress. As new cohorts join, members will have opportunities to mingle, share insights, and build bridges between different cohorts. This rich network allows for the exchange of knowledge, diverse perspectives, and valuable experiences, enhancing the overall Ela community. Joining an Ela Cohort means embarking on a journey where growth, connection, and shared success are at the heart of your consulting experience.
