Whether you need a five-day Design Sprint, a single-day strategy session, or something in between, my workshops are designed to provide the structure required to quickly align and move forward with a plan or idea so you can reclaim time, energy and headspace.

Kickstart an idea and launch your team into action with this five-day, battle-proof workshop born out of Google Ventures. We’ll quickly validate and fast-track concepts so you can move forward with clarity, accomplishing what typically takes months inside of a week.

Overcome roadblocks to a business challenge and develop a roadmap for moving forward. You’ll walk away from this one- to two-day session with a clear north star, a plan that outlines the work to be done, and measures of success to help hold the team accountable.

Great work starts with engaged teams. Empower yours to cultivate creativity, harness the power of Design Sprints, and leverage immersive workshops by inviting me to your next all-hands session. Choose from existing topics or let me design a customized session for your group.

Whether you aim to define a path for growth with an intent to sell your product or company, or you need help getting your team into a groove so that things are less…rough, I provide ongoing leadership to select teams.
