Chavender Community
Start your Monday mornings off right!
Join this signature, in-demand Chavender group coaching program for leaders across the continuum – male, female, emerging leaders, executive leaders, non-profit & corporate – and everything in between.
Ten months of inspiration, possibility and action. Start your Monday mornings off right with the Chavender Community!
The weekend is over...
Get clear on your week and take action!
Enter, Chavender Community. Your Monday morning check in and accountability. A chance to take stock, determine your high value tasks, and get the support you deserve to bring your very best self to work. 30 minutes changes everything.
Every month has a theme: Networking for Impact, Office Politics/How to have Hard Conversations, Maximizing Virtual Meetings, From Cold Call to Best Buddies, Avoiding Self-Sabotage and Championing your Agenda in Challenging Rooms. In 20 minutes, we’ll share our wins, absorb a learning moment, and commit to an accountability action before next week.
"There's just something about Chavender Community that sets the tone for the week..."

Join the (Chavender) Community
Weekly calls. Infinite progress!
You’ll gain:
- Community: A place to show up, be vulnerable, and connect.
- Accountability: A place to commit to your actions and intentions
- Inspiration: A place to reclaim your personal power
We want YOU.
Individuals can join Chavender Community on the 1st of any month, with a minimum commitment of three months to allow relationships and habits to form. The club runs September through June and pauses in July and August to respect vacation rhythms and renewal time.
You Are...
- Mid-level professionals and managers ready for “what’s next” in their leadership journey.
- Entrepreneurs and solo leaders who want a sounding board, a network, and practical nudges to take action.
- Alumni of Chavender’s Next Level Talent Program who want to sustain their growth and stay connected to like-minded peers.
Why Mondays?
Because setting your intention for the week can change the whole course of your day:
- From cautious... to courageous
- From calculated... to elated
- From scarcity... to abundance
Make Up and Hair-Do's: Optional
For some of us (especially our West Coast folks), 10 am EST is early. Hop on the calls without video!
What’s most important is showing up, listening in, and committing to your own version of personal success. Listen in the car, listen in the office, listen as you get ready for your day.
Join the club to be supported, inspired, uplifted, and to bring the JOY back to your work week!
