CAFE · Executive Learning Committee
Learning together, growing faster.
A peer group focused on continuous learning and the development of management and leadership skills. A space where you learn as much from your peers as from the content itself.
What CAFE is
Training that applies the next day.
CAFE shares CAPE's spirit of peer exchange and confidentiality, with an emphasis on continuous learning and management skill development. This is not a conventional training format where content is delivered passively. It is a space where participants deepen specific topics, challenge them through their own experience, and apply them directly to their business reality.
The learning becomes an immediate lever, not another theory filed away in a library that never gets reopened.
CAFE vs. CAPE
The same spirit. A different purpose.
CAPE · Consultative Advisory Program for Executives
For the decisions you carry as a senior leader.
CAPE is a confidential peer advisory forum. Its primary purpose is to allow senior leaders to examine their most consequential decisions with trusted peers at the same level of responsibility. The focus is on the decision, and on the strategic or personal challenge each member brings to the group.
CAFE · Executive Learning Committee
For the capabilities you are seeking to develop.
CAFE is a peer learning group. Its purpose is to build management and leadership capabilities continuously, combining structured content with the collective experience of the group. The focus is on development and on what each participant is working to strengthen in their own practice.
How it works
A structure that combines discipline with exchange.
Each session deepens a specific topic in management or leadership — communication, decision-making, performance management, team culture, and others.
Participants do not simply receive content. They challenge it through their own situations, exchange experiences, and identify how to apply it concretely in their context.
As in CAPE, confidentiality is foundational. What is shared within the CAFE group stays within it.
Jean Laporte facilitates each session and ensures that the learning stays grounded in each participant's actual situation, not just in theory.
Who it's for
For those who want to grow with the rigour of a peer group.
Developing managers
Leaders invested in their development
Leadership teams in development
What you gain
Progress you feel at the next meeting.
Management tools you can apply the next day
Continuous progression of your leadership capabilities
The support of a peer group committed to the same journey
The training that matters is the one you continue after the session ends.
If you are looking for a structured space to strengthen your management skills alongside peers who take the same commitment seriously, start with a conversation.
