Walk away from our workshops with tools for today and vision for tomorrow.

What our participants say:

What an awesome space with provocative and engaging tools to explore and expand horizons. Corey has a great set of tools and a beautifully curious mind.

I was moved to tears. I didn’t realize that this is a community I absolutely need. It’s been two years since I was last an entrepreneur and I’ve been really hesitant to start another business, but now I’ve decided I’m going to.

Why our workshops work.


Reason # 1: We put you to work

Get ready to work in our workshops. This is not a passive learning experience. You’ll apply theory and skills to real case studies in the moment — bring your own, or learn from a peer’s.

We’ll also give you (optional) homework at the end of each workshop to apply what you’ve learned.

In the end, you’ll own the tools and techniques as your own.

Reason #2: Design informed by behavioral sciences

There is great consensus across the fields of education, management consulting, leadership development, and neuroscience around 3 principles of effective learning:

  1. Learning should be personalized.
    Instead of one-directional instruction, we limit attendees and facilitate active participation.

  2. Learning should be socialized.
    Even our most technical tools and intellectual theory are grounded in social learning and social applications.

  3. Learning should be contextualized.
    Grounding learning in real life, current contexts offer deeper insight into the nuances of application, and help learners gain ownership of new skills.

Reason #3: We embrace wickedness


We have the courage to face extreme complexity head-on, and we help you do the same.

We offer powerful levers for profound change, not silver bullets. We do this because we respect your intelligence, and we are in love with your untapped potential.

In the end, it’s not nearly as scary as it sounds. In fact, it’s liberating. There is something at once sobering and refreshing about facing complexity head on.
