Executive Cohort

“It is rare to really establish an ongoing relationship with experts, creative minds and very inspiring people, especially in these challenging times. Although 6 sessions seemed a lot, I wish we could have continued to meet regularly. Becoming friends with some of the cohort members and the exchange of ideas and advice with all others was more than a rewarding experience.”

“I cannot thank you enough for putting together the cohort program. Believe it or not, I believe it is even more beneficial than the connections we make at a conference.”

“The level of expertise from the practitioners combined with the diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, experiences, knowledge, domain focus and more was great. I honestly looked forward to each subsequent session and have created new or strengthened pre-existing relationships due to the Executive Cohort Program.“

“I enjoyed meeting professionals from different disciplines and locations. It was clear that many of us were experiencing similar issues in our areas but had many differing solutions. Talking through these solutions and challenges was incredibly valuable to me personally and professionally. The most lasting impact, however, is the connections I made with individuals in the cohort. I am currently working on a few different projects with fellow cohort members, and none of that would have been possible without this program.“

“My Executive Cohort was a great opportunity to meet with and learn from a wide range of people with a diverse set of backgrounds and professional experience, and learn how their work might benefit what I do on a day-to-day basis. It was especially helpful to explore what different areas are doing around the topics of racial equity and addressing climate change.“

“I loved the intentionality behind the individuals who were brought together. A fascinating group of experts from a diverse set of backgrounds, visions, aspirations, but all engagingly present for the discussions. I loved the discussions, the opportunity each week to come together and banter about current situations, but also some of the leading issues in various fields. It was my Covid oasis. Jessie, I loved your moderation. You have a genuine gift in making people feel like part of a whole.“

“I want to thank you for an exceptional and life changing experience. The group was well designed, great commonalities, and collective interests!“

“The cohort was well planned and put together. From my perspective the cohort shared common experiences/issues but was diverse in thinking and acting. I learned something new and understood different perspectives each time we met. I also learned from each cohort member.“

“I liked the breadth and depth of the participants, I also liked the diversity in terms of specialty and background. I liked the moderator and informal discussion format. It was great that the program allowed for the discussions remain confidential to allow for candid discussion.“

“I loved the casually curated conversations and the diversity of the group. The conversation never lacked and the variety of perspectives was really energizing and insightful.“

“The passion of the participants to build better communities was refreshing and invigorating. I learned new things each and every minute of every session. I am looking forward to continuing the conversations beyond the conclusion of the Cohort.“

“An amazing group of diverse talent, profound experience, and great perspective. As a relative newcomer to the transportation and mobility sector, it was an incredible opportunity to see the issues and approaches we are all trying to solve from so many different sides.“

“More than anything, I appreciated getting connected to amazing people working in related fields. It was great having a curator who helped us have productive interactions without wasting anyone’s time!“
