A one-day guided expedition through your own story

Your life is a game, but most people are playing it without reading the rules. This full-day workshop takes the exercise design methods used by professional facilitators and game designers and turns them inward, on the story you're actually living.

Included: the complete five-volume Idealistic Future workbook series, one per session, each with essays, guided exercises, and facilitation methods adapted for personal use. The workshop starts the work; the workbooks keep it going.

For anyone standing at a threshold: a career shift, a creative project, or the nagging sense that you're playing someone else's game. No experience required. Just bring your story.

100 consulting methods, organized like a deck of cards

Everyone has watched a meeting burn an hour producing nothing. The problem is rarely the people, it's the method, or the lack of one. This session reviews 100 field-tested consulting methods and organizes them the way a designer actually works: as cards you can pull, combine, and play at exactly the right moment.

Twelve baseline methods give beginners a reliable starting hand. The rest expand your range, so you stop defaulting to the same three techniques and start matching the method to the moment.

For consultants, facilitators, and anyone who runs sessions where time is expensive and outcomes matter. Better methods, faster results, fewer wasted hours.

Every team has monsters: the risk nobody mentions, the process everyone fears, the competitor lurking off the map. For centuries, myths gave our fears names and shapes so we could face them. This workshop does the same for your real-world challenges, using mythical monsters as metaphors to surface, classify, and confront what's actually blocking progress.

Included: a copy of Monsters at Work with guided exercises and professional facilitation methods so the monster mapping continues long after the session ends.

For teams and leaders facing risks they haven't named, obstacles that keep coming back, or the creak in the floorboards that's starting to sound like a creature. Bring your monsters. We'll draw the map.
