HOW TO APPLY

The application and selection process has been carefully designed to ensure each cohort consists of a committed, diverse group of peers to optimally support each participant’s growth and opportunities for connection.

There are 4 stages:

  1. Complete and submit the application form.

  2. If selected to move on, you will be invited to participate in a virtual meet & greet screening call.

  3. If selected to continue after this call, you will be invited to participate in a more in-depth interview.

  4. Once all interviews have been conducted, final decisions will be made and communicated.

We are accepting applications on a rolling basis, and applications will be closed once we have filled the program.
The initial deadline to submit your application form is 30 April, 2026 at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

IMPORTANT:Please note—your answers will not be saved or recorded until you click the submit button, and that once your application has been submitted, you will not be able to make any changes.

 FAQs

  • Once all participants have been selected, a welcome video call will be scheduled, followed by at least one more call to prepare everyone for the in person residential component of the program. You will also be paired with your coach during this time and will have 1 to 2 check-ins with them prior to the residential week. These will be 1:1 conversations, and scheduling is flexible.

    The 2026 dates for the residential week are Sunday, November 8 (arrival and dinner) through Saturday, November 14 (breakfast and departure).

    After the residential week, we will schedule at least one follow-up video call with the group to close the program. You will continue to work with your coach for about 6 months.

    IMPORTANT: All group calls and the residential week are mandatory for all accepted participants.

  • Once you’ve submitted your application, we will confirm receipt and it will be reviewed by our team. Once reviewed, depending on the evaluation of your application, you will be contacted to either schedule an informal conversation, or notified that your application was not selected to be advanced - please keep an eye on your inbox (and your junk folder!) during this time.

  • The next stage after the application review is an informal conversation with on of our team members. After that, should your application be selected to move on, you will be invited to an interview with additional members of our team. Because we are carefully curating a cohort of just 24 leaders from across the globe, we will make a decision about who will be invited after all interviews have been conducted and the team has had a chance to deliberate.

  • We expect all ffdecisions will be finalised sometime during the month of June 2026.

  • We’ll share dates for online community and learning events you can join between the time you applied and final decisions. Additional events are planned for the time between selection and the immersive week in November for program participants.

  • YES! We encourage all applicants to reapply in the future. Our goal is to offer the program annually, and we recognise that while you may not be ready yet, you may very well be a great fit for a program cohort in the future.

  • The opportunity to participate in the Complete Leaders program comes with great responsibility.

    Most important is that you show up with your whole self and fully lean in. You and your peers will benefit greatly from everything you contribute—the saying “you get what you give” truly applies here.

    We also expect participants to attend all scheduled program events in addition to the residential week. Put simply, the program and community will only work if we show up for ourselves and each other.

  • All travel bookings to and from our residential week in Thailand will be your responsibility, and travel insurance is required for all participants.

    Shuttle service from the airport in Chiang Mai to Raya Heritage and back is included.

    We will share more information about travel logistics and insurance requirements per our travel partners The Explorers Passage as part of the registration process.
