Applications Now Open: The Reimagined RFL Mastermind 2026

Roaring Fork Leadership is proud to announce that applications are now open for the RFL Mastermind Class of 2026 – a reimagined, 5-month leadership experience designed for mid- to senior-level professional women and underrepresented leaders who are ready to step into their full power.

Launching this January, Mastermind offers a small-group, high-trust environment where participants deepen emotional intelligence, strengthen presence, and connect with a circle of peers who will both challenge and champion their growth.

Why Join?

  • Mutual support from a trusted, like-minded community
  • Diverse perspectives that broaden your thinking
  • Valuable resources and leadership tools tailored for your growth
  • Accountability to reach personal and professional goals
  • Collaboration that sparks creativity and innovation
  • An expanded professional network across the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys
  • Tangible strategies to lead with clarity, empathy, and confidence

What’s New This Year

The Mastermind program has been redesigned with women-centered leadership in mind—creating inclusive, reflective, and practical learning spaces. The 2026 cohort will benefit from:

  • Five in-person sessions
  • Four group teleconference calls between sessions
  • Self-guided EQ Assessment + personalized workbook
  • Structured peer coaching with actionable feedback and feedforward
  • Exclusive leadership tools such as Say No with EQ, Emotional Labor Mapping, and Leadership Legacy Planning
  • One-on-one coaching session with Mastermind facilitator Andrea Palm-Porter
  • Ongoing support and access to RFL’s extended network of leaders

This isn’t a lecture series—it’s a reflective and relationship-rich journey grounded in emotional intelligence, courageous leadership, and authentic connection.
