Humans are built to connect
Engagement is a competency.
We teach it.
When your audience feels seen and heard everything changes
When humans connect, teams collaborate, leaders emerge, and cultures transform.
People are designed to engage and build on each other’s ideas. Our experiential workshops and programs are actual reps in real-time with immediate feedback.
Built on our Six-Box Model™
The portal for developing human engagement competencies.
Three questions applied to three relationships. A practice for raising to consciousness how you show up under stress, deciding if that's how you want to, and simplifying the nature of my relationships.

“I got far more from this program than I ever could have imagined. My Connection Lab program became a watershed moment—where I found a voice I didn’t know I had and a comfort in myself that once felt unattainable.”
“Not only did I learn a TON of actionable practices regarding presentation and leadership that I could apply to my role, but much of this can be used in life. To me, that's such a win.”

Questions we hear
Public Workshops use pay-what-you-can pricing ($25-$250 per workshop). Enterprise Programs are custom-quoted based on team size and engagement length.
Ontological coaching is a powerful holistic methodology focused on "shifting a person's way of being" - their core language, emotions, and bodily posture - to create sustainable personal and professional change. Rather than just solving problems, it alters how others perceive themselves and the world, expanding their possibilities for new choices in action. Learn more
Diagnosis is extremely valuable in a wide variety of fields. However, it's often conflated with practice. Diagnosis is not practice. People often assess a situation and imagine themselves changing their practice without actually doing it. Changing one's practice can be intimidating, so it is helpful to remember that we are practicing already all day, every day.
Modifying our practice, even the tiniest amount, can lead to profound growth.
Connection Lab will never assess you, nor will you receive a diagnosis from us. Development assessments can provide useful language, but rarely provide specific guidance in the area of engagement. Connection Lab is a human engagement tool designed to raise awareness of how effective we are at engaging others and collaborating in general.
Anyone exhausted by conventional solutions. HR leaders who've watched programs fail. Executives who freeze when it matters. Teams that know their content but can't connect.
Practice, not information. You don't need another book or another framework—you need reps. We create scenarios that trigger real stress responses, then coach you through new ways of responding until those become automatic. It's muscle memory, not theory.
You get access to Lab Pass, our practice app. It's not a content library or a quiz platform—it's a way to track how you're showing up under stress in real life. Log your experiences, notice your patterns, practice with your cohort between sessions. The workshop gives you the initial breakthrough. Lab Pass keeps the work alive so you're not starting from scratch every time you show up to a hard conversation.
You'll notice shifts in the first session—people see themselves differently, catch patterns they've been running for years. But lasting change? That takes practice over time. Most people need a few months of reps before new behaviors become automatic. That's why Lab Pass exists—to keep you practicing between workshops so you're not starting from scratch every time.
No. Enterprise Programs are built for intact teams—you don't need to test-drive anything first. That said, a lot of HR leaders come through Public Workshops before rolling this out company-wide. It's not a prerequisite, but if you want to see how this feels before bringing your whole team in, that's an option.
