The Nest

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

- Lao Tzu

START DEEP

You complete a confidential intake form that helps all of us explore your history in order to assess your superpowers and true talents, as well as obstacles and blockages. 

SET THE STAGE

In our opening 2-hour virtual session, we set the stage for your journey and define the road ahead with goals, intentions, unmet needs and what you MUST have on the other side of the experience. 

TRANSFORMATION IS A CONTACT SPORT

You spend 4.5 days with us in a beautiful and luxurious setting. 

You receive surprising new clarity on who you truly are, what’s in your way, your deepest needs and your values. We help you optimize your sensemaking apparatus to open up more options and make better life & business decisions. We then build muscle on how to operate at a new intersection of your core values and needs, and the real world interrelational, familial and organizational complexities of your life.

Next, we get you organized so that you can emerge back into your world with new focus and purpose.

This engagement takes place over a two-month period. 

An upgrade in one area…
upgrades every other area of your life

  • As you define, refine and evolve your leadership style, you gain the practices and support to integrate that wisdom into your relationships, family structures and personal growth. 

  • As you deepen into knowing yourself, your strengths, triggers, blind spots and your zone of genius, you gain the tools, tactics and strategy to bring this embodied wisdom to bear upon your projects, your team and the creation of your legacy.

Our Collective Genius

We bridge worlds that are typically polar opposites: deep, personal transformation and hard core, world-changing business initiatives. We are artists and designers in both realms.
We believe one is the key to the other. 

With a vast array of collective experiences across sectors, businesses and cultures, we each bring our own unique lens to bear on your upgrade. It’s an experience that’s designed to stretch you emotionally and intellectually. And sometimes, spiritually. 

Molly and Jana - co-founders, coaches, mentors, entrepreneurs and multidisciplinary leaders - guide you through profound processes that are designed to help reveal blockages and obstacles while re-birthing a more frictionless, powerful and purposeful you.

Rob, with 35-years of experience founding companies while mentoring and advising leaders from startups to nonprofits to the largest companies in the world, overlaps and then helps you through the interconnected complexities of your personal, familial and professional/organizational worlds. Together they help you crystalize a throughline that builds your resilience, upgrades your sense-making and improves your decision making.
