As we face mounting uncertainty in governance, business, and society, it’s easy to get swept up in words like unprecedented and unknown. But is it really so new? History shows us that change follows predictable patterns, and with the right mindset, these cycles of challenge can lead to renewal.
While crisis and decline pose serious challenges, neither are endpoints - these are invitations to transform.
Read MoreIn today’s hyperconnected world, we’re more “plugged in” than ever. With a few clicks, we can message a friend across the globe, contribute to a virtual community, or work with colleagues on different continents. Yet despite this constant connectivity, loneliness and isolation are skyrocketing. Over 36% of U.S. adults reported feeling “seriously lonely” in 2024. This sense of isolation is driving a host of physical and mental health challenges, including addiction, cardiovascular issues, and depression. It’s a strange paradox: the more tools for connecting we have, the more isolated our society has become.

Transformation happens when we shift from passive learning to active, intentional practice. Whether that is practicing the guitar, a new behavior, skill or mindset, the consistent attempt to embody the new behavior is where transformation begins to take root.
Read MoreIn recent years, our cultural pillars—academia, media, health, and government—have shown frightening fissures, leaving many of us doubting whether the “experts” can lead us forward. As organizations, societies, and the global order navigate these tectonic transitions, the need for trust in leadership intensifies.
How do we build or rebuild trust in these challenging times?
Read MoreRituals provide a way to navigate the inevitable changes that life brings. They help us to honor our past, support us through the uncertainty of transition, and celebrate new beginnings.

Read MoreLeaders shape the tone, culture, and impacts of their organizations. Through their actions, they create a culture that either ignites success or stifles it. However, the statistics are stark: 60% of new managers fail, and only 15% receive the support they need. This highlights a critical gap in leadership development that our course aims to fill. Work is fundamentally about the decisions we make, and management is the process of improving those decisions. Therefore, developing new skills and practices is crucial to incite impact, build bonds, and navigate storms adeptly while nurturing diverse team in realizing their potential.
