Live With the Experts

Learn from the experts, live.
Then put it to work.

Short, live sessions with leading authors and practitioners. Join a free monthly briefing on a new book or piece of research, or a hands-on lab where your managers practice new tools and apply them to the challenges they face this week.

Hear the ideas. Then build the skills.

Expert Briefings Free, monthly, 60 minutes

Each month, a best-selling author or researcher walks you through the ideas behind their latest book or study: the trends changing your organization, the way you work and how you lead others. Bring your questions for the live Q&A.

Recording available to registrants

Expert Skills Labs Paid, hands-on, 90 minutes

A working session, not a lecture. The expert brings tools you can put to work right away, shows you how to use them, then you work through them together in small groups on the challenges people brought.

Live only. You keep the tools and templates.

Your managers can't give up half a day to sit through a lecture.

The three-hour webinar was built for a different workload. Today's managers are covering more with less, and a morning away means a day of catching up. They need ideas they can put to work the same week.

Our labs are built for that. A short, focused dose of expertise, then most of the session spent practicing the tools on the issues your people are facing now.

A working session, not a lecture.

Every Expert Skills Lab is built so people leave with tools they have already used.

When you register

Bring a challenge

Each participant tells us the challenge they want to work on, so the expert knows what the group is facing before the session.

Learn the tools

See how they work

The expert brings tools you can put to work right away and shows you how to use them.

Practice together

Work the tools

In small groups, people practice the tools step by step, with the expert moving between groups to coach.

Apply it

Solve your problems

The expert helps you apply the tools to the challenge you brought. You keep the tools and templates.

AI gives you an answer. An expert knows which one works.

They've seen it work, and fail

Our experts built these tools and have used them inside organizations around the world. They know where a tool breaks and how to adjust it for your situation.

Go to the source

AI learned from what experts wrote. In a lab you work with the person who wrote it, and they can answer the follow-up question the book doesn't cover.

Practice needs a person

Trying a hard conversation and getting feedback from someone who reads the room is what turns an idea into a habit.

That is also why Athena, our AI coach, is built on the experts' lessons. Athena helps in the moment. The live session is where you go deeper.

Built for how managers work now.
