CLN is a curriculum-based, leadership enhancement mentorship (we call it a life journey) for business and civic leaders aimed at maximizing a leader’s Core strength for greater personal and professional success.
What Is a CLN Cohort?
A cohort is a group of like-minded leaders on individual CLN journeys who come together every two weeks to share their thoughts and experiences from the CLN curriculum. The personal work in CLN is strengthened for each Cohort member when shared together as a group.
Who is the CLN mentor for this Cohort?
Paul Swearengin is the founder and “head coach” of CLN. Paul has a 30 years professional career spanning broadcast media, business ownership, ministry and organizational management and health care business development. Now a licensed minister in the business world, Paul is sharing his experience with others. Read more about Paul here: https://coreleadersnetwork.com/about/
What will a CLN Leader learn from their time in the Cohort?
The CLN training is broken into 6 modules that take a leader from personal core strengthening to sharing their personal transformation with the rest of their sphere of influence. These are the Modules:
Module 1: Identity
Module 2: Mindset
Module 3: Communication/Relationship
Module 4: Vision
Module 5: Stewardship
Module 6: Impact
The modules are broken into four “Sessions that shed light on different aspects of the Module topic.” Try the first free session here: https://coreleadersnetwork.com/courses/cohort-kickoff-gathering/
