No. The cohort is composed of senior executives, founders and board-ready leaders, creating a high-level peer environment where your experience aligns naturally with the depth and maturity of the classroom dynamic.
Will this elevate me to board or C-suite roles?

It can accelerate access to senior leadership roles, particularly if you are not yet at executive level.
