Do you have heart for Colorado? You’re in the right place.

CiviCO is where we challenge and equip each other to come together from all corners of our communities to build a more vibrant Colorado from the inside out.

Let’s face it: working in a silo can feel lonely.

Even if we’re putting heart into our endeavors, without a wide net of support and community, working toward goals can still feel isolating. From this place, it feels like we can’t do anything to make a difference.

With our heads down, we get stuck in the doing.

Heads Up

CiviCO is changing that.

It’s not quite “networking” or "training" —it’s community building and action. It’s the place to grow a more impactful business, learn to serve your community, and create positive change.

Think our collective thriving is up to only a few of us or just those at the top?

We’ve all seen how that’s working out...

what can I do?

At CiviCO, we believe that individuals can do a lot—collectively.

We believe that with the right support, anyone can lead – anytime, anywhere. That’s why we’re committed to bringing Coloradans together across sectors, geographies, and even political divisions to convene and activate around the issues that matter most to our communities, while becoming the best versions of ourselves in the process.

Here’s what you’ll experience at events:

  • Diverse sectors come together to learn from one another’s expertise.
  • Challenges are approached with curiosity and heart.
  • You’ll expand your impact—and your influence.

Personal Development Forum (PDF)

Why This Matters
Leadership at the top can be isolating — but it doesn’t have to be. The Personal Development Forum offers senior leaders a rare and powerful space to slow down, reflect deeply, and grow alongside trusted peers. In a world that often prizes output over inner clarity, this forum honors the truth that sustainable impact begins with self-awareness and authentic connection.

This Is for You If…
You’re a successful executive or entrepreneur who’s committed to deep personal and leadership growth. You’re ready to explore beyond strategy and performance — into presence, vulnerability, and the kind of growth that transforms how you lead, relate, and live. You value a confidential, professionally facilitated space where challenge and support coexist.

What You’ll Gain

  • Expanded capacity to lead with clarity, awareness, and intention
  • Greater authenticity and presence in personal and professional relationships
  • Insightful reflection and accountability from a trusted peer group
  • A sense of connection and camaraderie with others who understand the unique challenges of top leadership roles
  • Space to grow beyond titles — into wholeness

How We Gather
This long-term forum meets in a professionally facilitated, confidential peer group setting for 2.5 hours each month. The structure offers consistency, depth, and space for transformation — fostering relationships that are both grounding and growth-oriented.

Leadership Accelerator

Why This Matters
The next generation of leadership isn’t defined by titles — it’s defined by mindset, courage, and the ability to create change from wherever you are. Leadership Accelerator exists to cultivate those qualities in rising leaders, equipping them with the tools and confidence to lead with impact in their teams, organizations, and communities.

This Is for You If…
You’re a purpose-driven professional or changemaker — possibly new to your role, team, or organization — who’s eager to grow your influence, lead collaboratively, and prepare for what’s next. You care about making a meaningful contribution and are ready to accelerate your growth with intention and confidence, gaining skills that allow you to lead from right where you are.

What You’ll Gain

  • Practical skills in self-leadership, communication, and collaborative problem-solving
  • Greater confidence and capacity to thrive in your current role

Program Benefits

  • Four 1:1 coaching sessions with an ICF-certified coach to accelerate growth and deepen self-awareness
  • Expert facilitation from a rotating team of five seasoned professionals with decades of experience across sectors
  • Six months of free CiviCO membership, including access to Purpose Hour events focused on civic learning, networking, and mentorship

Harvard Business Review and Gallup have both published research showing that employees who connect their work to a greater purpose — including civic or community engagement — report:
    • Higher job satisfaction
    • Greater resilience
    • Increased engagement and retention

How We Gather
This two-month journey includes four half-day, in-person sessions at CiviCO All sessions take place at CiviCO (250 Fillmore St #225, Denver, CO),  designed to fit into full-time schedules. We maximize our mornings together — sessions run from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM — so you have your afternoons free to return to work, meetings, or life. Each session offers immersive learning, peer connection, and actionable tools to help you grow your leadership from the inside out.

In addition to group learning, every participant receives four personalized 1:1 coaching sessions with an ICF-certified coach. Coaching sessions are scheduled directly between you and your coach to fit your calendar — ensuring flexibility, relevance, and real-time application.

Continental breakfast and box lunch are included at each session.

The Leadership Accelerator Difference

What sets this program apart:

  • 1:1 Coaching for Every Participant
    Coaching is typically reserved for mid-to-senior level executives — only 25–40% of Fortune 500 companies offer it, and rarely to rising professionals. We believe leadership begins early. That’s why every participant in the Leadership Accelerator receives personalized one-on-one coaching to accelerate growth, confidence, and clarity.
  • Leadership Tools, Not Just Titles
    We don’t train for a role — we build a mindset. This program equips you to lead from wherever you are, focusing on self-awareness, influence, and resilience that benefit any position or path.
  • Cross-Sector, Mission-Aligned Network
    Participants come from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors — all united by purpose. The result is a vibrant network of peers who challenge and support each other long after the sessions end.
  • Immersive, Human-Centered Learning
    Our sessions blend practical skill-building with deep reflection, peer learning, and real-time application. You won’t just learn leadership — you’ll practice it.

Why This Matters

This Is for You If…
Strategic Connections is for seasoned leaders who believe business growth starts with meaningful relationships. If you’re well-connected, service-minded, and committed to supporting your peers, this is your invitation to show up with purpose — and watch what opens up in return.
