LIT Fellows - Spring 2025
Learn More | Dates | Commitments | Cost | Apply Now |
Due to the large number of highly-qualified applicants for 2024 Fellows, we opened a small cohort of Fellows that will launch February 2025. Applications for this group are by invitation only. You have been nominated to learn more and apply. Congratulations!
UPDATE (January 2025): The Spring 2025 Cohort of LIT Fellows has been selected. We are building a waitlist. It’s extremely rare that we do not draw from the waitlist as we get closer to the kickoff retreat dates. We strongly encourage you to apply if you are interested and able to do all the dates for the Spring 2025 program. If you are selected to be placed on the waitlist and do not get placed in Spring, we will guarantee your placement in the Fall 2025 cohort.

Program Commitments
Leaders in Tech Fellows is intended for leaders ready to make a significant investment in their own growth and development. Participants will make a commitment to:
Attend the 4-day kick-off retreat fully and in-person
Attend in full each monthly learning group meeting (see detailed schedule above).
Enter the program deeply curious, willing to question existing mindsets and beliefs, and prepared to give and receive direct feedback in service of your own and others’ learning.
Note: The Fellows program is designed to make continuously busy people substantially more effective. However, you should not attend now if you are emotionally overwhelmed or feel otherwise unprepared for intensive leadership development and training.
Program Cost
Tuition for the Fellows program is $19,850 and includes the retreat, learning groups, and dinners/workshops. We offer financial assistance, including payment plans and scholarship grants, to exceptional participants who may need it. We do our best not to turn anyone away because of financial need.
Please note that the majority of our participants have their companies pay for their enrollment, as they would with an executive coach. Here is a link to some information that you can share with your team or Board about funding your experience.
