Is The Coltivano Executive Intensive™ Right For You?
The Intensive is designed for senior leaders operating in complex, high-stakes environments where clarity, alignment, and execution matter most.
You’re a fit if you:
- Lead at Scale: in a mid-sized company (typically 150 – 1,500 employees) where complexity is rising faster than capacity.
- Feel the Strain: misalignment, stalled growth, constant firefighting.
- Are Ready to Level Up: align strategy with execution, empower teams without micromanaging, and install a leadership system that evolves with growth.
Growth inevitably introduces complexity.
The question is whether your leadership can evolve to meet it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear guidance for senior leaders evaluating whether the Intensive is the right strategic fit.
Who is this program for?
The Coltivano Executive Intensive™ is designed for senior leaders in mid-sized organizations (typically 150 – 1,500 employees) navigating growth complexity, strategic transition, or stalled momentum. It is ideal for C-suite executives, VPs, GMs, and department heads responsible for leading teams, aligning cross-functional priorities, and driving results in dynamic environments.
Is this relevant if our growth has slowed or plateaued?
Yes. The Intensive is designed for leadership contexts where momentum has slowed, priorities are shifting, or organizational complexity has outpaced existing leadership systems. It helps senior teams clarify direction, rebuild alignment, and restore organizational coherence whether your organization is accelerating, stabilizing, or recalibrating for what comes next.
What’s the weekly time commitment?
The program is designed to fit the realities of senior leadership schedules. Each week includes:
- One live 2-hour executive session
- Optional 2-hour peer deep dive
- Short integration practices between sessions
The total time commitment is approximately 3-4 hours per week, including reflection and application.
What if I need to miss a session?
Because candor and psychological safety are central to the cohort experience, sessions are not recorded.
If you need to miss a session, you will receive the week’s frameworks, tools, and integration practices so you can continue progressing without losing momentum. The greatest value, however, comes from being in the room for the live executive dialogue.
How does this differ from coaching?
Coaching focuses primarily on individualized goals, decision patterns, and leadership behaviors.
The Coltivano Executive Intensive™ strengthens both the individual leader and the leadership system: the structures, expectations, and cultural signals that shape clarity, accountability, and performance across an organization.
You will strengthen personal mastery, but within a structured, evidence-based operating model grounded in neuroscience, developmental psychology, and business strategy. This systems-level integration is what distinguishes the Intensive from coaching alone.
Can I expense this?
Many organizations fund executive development for senior leaders, especially programs tied to strategic alignment, organizational performance, or leadership capacity building.
We can provide program information or documentation to support your request, and leaders often position participation as a strategic investment in clarity, alignment, and organizational execution.
What happens during the Strategic Fit Conversation?
The Strategic Fit Conversation clarifies your leadership goals, organizational context, and readiness for the Intensive. It is not a sales call; it is a structured dialogue designed to ensure alignment between what you need and what the program is designed to deliver.
Together, we assess fit, timing, and focus so that participation supports both your development and the outcomes that matter most in your business.
Can a leadership team enroll together?
Yes. Senior leaders may participate individually or as part of a leadership team. Executives from the same organization or from different companies may be part of the cohort. The program is designed to support both individual leaders and groups navigating shared strategic challenges.
How selective is the cohort?
Seats are intentionally limited to protect depth, discretion, and the quality of executive dialogue. Applications are reviewed individually to ensure the cohort includes leaders whose goals, experience, and context support high-level engagement and shared learning.
Shape What’s Next
Scaling a mid-sized company demands more than hard work and intuition.
It requires leaders who can navigate complexity with clarity, align strategy with execution, and build systems that sustain growth.
The Coltivano Executive Intensive™ equips senior leaders to do exactly that, delivering sustainable results as organizational demands evolve.
