THE DIPLOMAT CIRCLE· 6-MONTH COHORT
The hardest parts of this role deserve a real room.
The thing I hear most from people at a senior communications level: they figure it out alone every single time. There's nowhere to debrief on what actually happened. Nobody to pressure-test what they're about to do. And the work they're carrying is complex in ways most professional development structures aren't built for.
The Diplomat Circle is a small curated cohort of senior communications leaders working through it practically — alongside each other, and alongside me. This is not a course. It is not coaching. It is a community of practice for the people carrying the actual weight.
AT A GLANCE
Who it's for: Senior communications leaders, communications directors, and chiefs of staff inside mission-driven orgs
Duration: 6-month commitment
Entry point: Invitation or inquiry — cohort fit is part of what makes it work
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Structured access. Practical work. Real peers.
Every component is designed for senior leaders who are already over-scheduled and need the work to be worth showing up for.
MONTHLY
Working Sessions
90 minutes. Full cohort. Christine-led, member-driven topics. The agenda comes from what members are actually navigating — not a pre-built curriculum.
MONTHLY
Practice Lab Sessions
60 minutes of applied skill work — message stress-testing, real-time feedback, managing up, stakeholder navigation. Practical, not theoretical.
BI-MONTHLY
1:1s with Christine
90 minutes, three times over the cohort term. Direct input on your live work — not open office hours, not a group Q&A. Personalized advisory on a real situation you're navigating.
From isolated to equipped.
THE SHIFT
Your experience will be transformative from the start. Instead of figuring it out alone every single time, you will have:
A standing cohort of peers who understand the terrain without needing context
A structured place to process the hard situations, not just survive them
Applied learning from real problems — yours and your peers'
Clearer, more grounded, more confident in the leadership dimensions of the role
A high-trust inner circle that lasts beyond the cohort
A network is who you know. The Diplomat Circle is a structured environment where you work on the hardest dimensions of your role alongside people doing the same work. Those don't replace each other.
