Which membership level matches your growth tolerance?
Say I do become a member ... then what?
1. Join at a level that fits your season
Pick based on how much time and budget you have right now. We also offer scholarships so cost isn’t a barrier.
2. Watch our short orientation
A 15-minute video series about our norms of kindness, listening, and psychological safety is how we keep discussions thoughtful and human.
3. Make a plan to meet your peers
After orientation, you’ll enter the Clubhouse to chat, browse topics, and RSVP for sessions where you’re most likely to find your people.
4. Attend your first discussion
Show up curious. You can talk or just listen. We also host a beginner-friendly session on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
5. Unlock channels over time
As you attend sessions, new topic channels open up so you can keep conversations going between meetings.
What do members have to say?
“It's a place where voices that might struggle to be heard in the vast noise and void of it all can and you can speak freely and I think the safety and the psychological peace that's here in this space is really important.”
“I've actually been blown away by how beautifully designed the community is. I've really appreciated the values, the code of conduct, the fact that the rules are posted at the top of each discussion. So they're very like front and center.”
“I am so impressed by how thoughtful and well-structured the discussion, blog posts, lesson, and practice was for each topic.”
“Joining has been the most valuable thing I have done career wise. I not only learn a lot but I feel a strong sense of community when I attend these sessions.”
“The way this community encourages reflection, strategy, and truth-telling speaks directly to my soul and the way I process complexity.”
“This was so energizing! I went from a very large team to lone wolf at a startup, so I've missed this type of brainstorm/workshop with my people!”
“It’s a structured space for creative conversations with really smart, curious people.”
“I had no idea how much energy I’d get from these discussions until I started coming back.”
“It feels like a lab to experiment with ideas with people who don’t run away from ambiguity.”
“A water cooler for helpers—somewhere helpers can go to be restored instead of depleted.”
