City Impact Cohorts
Elevate your team’s performance.
A Leadership Cohort for Real-World Teams
The City Impact Cohort is a six-month leadership program for Phoenix-area teams. Seven to eight leaders from your organization sit at one table, alongside up to 10 organizations across the Valley, and meet once a month.
Most teams don’t struggle because they lack good people. They struggle because nobody’s ever given them a shared language for how they lead, communicate, and make decisions under pressure. Built on GiANT’s 5 Voices, this cohort gives your team that language and puts it to work on real situations.
This isn’t about theory. Your leaders build trust with each other, and with peers across business, nonprofit, and government, in a room where the learning builds from one session to the next.

Who It’s For
Simply put, this cohort is ideal for business owners, executives, and leadership teams in growing organizations, along with the emerging leaders you’re investing in.
Your team gets results, but communication and alignment still take more energy than they should. Decisions circle back, and good people talk past each other when the pressure is on.
You’ll learn how your own leadership Voice shapes the room, how the voices around you work, and how to build stronger, more intentional connections with your team and with leaders from other organizations across the Valley.
You don’t want more leadership theory. You want a shared language your whole team can use on Monday morning, and a room where you practice it together.
What You Will Learn
Through six live sessions with your team and peers from across the Valley, you’ll learn how to:
-
- See your own default clearly using the 5 Voices Framework
- Read the voices of the people around you and work with them better
- Build trust and alignment across your leadership team
- Turn different voices into a working advantage, not friction
- Make faster, better team decisions
- Name what quietly derails your team before it does
How It Works
Format: Six-month cohort, one live session per month, same table start to finish
Each session builds on the last:
Discovering Your Leadership Voice
Identify your natural voice and how it shows up under pressure.
The Power of Your Voice
Use your voice deliberately instead of on autopilot.
Relational Dynamics
Build the trust that healthy team communication depends on.
The Art of Collaboration
Turn different voices into a working advantage, not friction.
Optimizing Team Performance
Translate self-awareness into faster, better team decisions.
Team Performance Kryptonite
Name what quietly derails teams before it does.
Before Session 1, everyone at the table takes the free 5 Voices Assessment, about 10 minutes, so you start with your results in hand. You can add that as a closing line under the table.
Outcomes
By the end of six months, your team will have:
-
- A shared language your whole table uses to communicate, collaborate, and decide
- A clearer read on your own default, and the range to shift when the moment calls for it
- Stronger trust and alignment across your leadership team
- Peer relationships with leaders across business, nonprofit, and government in the Valley
Why It Works
This cohort blends GiANT’s 5 Voices framework with live, in-person work on your team’s real situations. You don’t just learn concepts, you practice them with the people you lead, in the same room, once a month.
Teams don’t get healthy by fixing one person at the top. They get healthy together, in the room, at the same table. That’s why the whole table comes.
