FAQs
We use The Cohort Method — developed over 1000s of hours moderating conversations among some of the most influential global leaders — to help you solve your most pressing professional challenges, make major life decisions, and identify what’s most important to you. You can learn more about it here.
Lots of employers will cover Cohort as part of a professional development or wellness stipend. If you need language to explain Cohort to your employer, shoot us an email! (hi@withcohort.co).
The Cohort community is where members go to learn from one another, meet up in person, and navigate their next steps among a trusted set of peers. It includes access to:
- The Cohort Concierge Service: Submit requests for expertise or experience, and we’ll help match you with the right member(s) — and other folks in the wider Cohort network — to answer your questions.
- IRL Events: Spend time with other Cohort members at everything from backcountry ski weekends to local dinners to meetups at events like SXSW.
- The Cohort Job Board: Interesting roles, candidates, and opportunities for when you’re actively searching, hiring, or exploring.
- The Cohort Book Club: Exactly as it sounds, plus the occasional long-form article for good measure.
Your membership begins on the day you start your first Cohort. During the period between when you register and when your Cohort begins, you still have access to the year-round community (see above for details).
Pricing varies by Cohort. We offer scholarships for members who cannot pay the full amount, but we try to ensure the cost is not prohibitive.
Apply by joining the waitlist. If we think you’re a good fit, we’ll reach out and have a conversation to learn more about you.
We love referrals, but want to make sure every member is a good fit for the Cohort community, and that we’re able to place them in a Cohort that’s well-suited to them. Please submit their name, email, and LinkedIn to hi@withcohort.co, and we’ll reach out to learn more.
6-10 other hand-picked members who are at a similar life stage, or striving for similar goals. We have calls with every prospective Cohort member to make sure they’re a good fit, and to carefully curate high-caliber groups.
The people in your Cohort will not be your colleagues or classmates. Of course, it’s possible you’ll have met in another capacity. If you’re assigned to a Cohort with someone you know and are uncomfortable, we’ll do our best to reassign you.
That’s great! Cohort will certainly not replace your friends, and might not replace your coach or therapist. However, we’ve found that meaningful, reciprocal conversations with peers who are in the arena with you are more transformative than a one-sided coaching conversation.
75 minutes every two weeks, plus a bit of prep for each conversation. Many of our members choose to invest more time in the community by joining in-person events or using the Cohort Concierge service (see above for more details).
We get it; life happens. Of course, we hope you don’t have to miss a meeting. But if extraordinary circumstances arise, we ask that you communicate as far in advance as possible. You can read more about our norms here.
