Cohort 01 · Applications Open

You didn't fall behind. The ladder moved.

A six-week cohort for people rebuilding their careers in the acceleration age — whether you're bracing for disruption, already living through it, or starting a new chapter after retirement. Built from the Climber vs. Architect framework and the Reinvention Readiness Index.

Who this is built for

Three ways to arrive here — one process to move forward.

Most reinvention programs are written for one kind of person. This one isn't.

Still employed, uneasy

Watching the ground shift

AI is entering your workflow faster than your confidence is growing. You don't want to wait for the reorg to decide your next move for you.

Already displaced

Mid-transition, right now

The role is gone. You're not looking for platitudes — you need ground under you, a plan, and people who understand the pace of what you're carrying.

Recently retired

Writing the next chapter

The title's gone, but the value isn't. You're ready to find out what Experience, Learning, and Service look like when nobody assigned them to you.

The pace problem

AI is entering the workplace faster than confidence is growing.

Most career advice was written for a world that changed at a walking pace. That world is gone. The gap between how fast the tools are moving and how ready people feel to use them is where anxiety lives — for the employed and the displaced alike.

This isn't a technology problem. It's a human one.

AI Adoption Confidence

How it works

Two hours a week. Every week. No exceptions.

01

Weekly Group Session

An hour of live teaching — the framework, the AI/ecosystem focus, and structured exercises with the rest of the cohort.

02

Weekly 1:1 Coaching

An hour with your coach to apply the week's material to your actual situation — not hypothetical, yours.

03

Five-Dimension Diagnostic

Baselined in Week 1, re-measured in Week 6 — real before-and-after evidence of where you moved.

04

Cohort Community

You're not doing this alone in a room. The people beside you become part of your ecosystem, starting week one.

The framework

The Five Dimensions of Reinvention

Every week of the cohort builds one of these five — measured at the start, and again at the end.

01

Adaptive Leadership

Receiving honest feedback about where you actually stand, and acting on it.

02

Entrepreneurial Ownership

Building instead of waiting to be chosen.

03

AI Acceleration

Using AI as leverage on your capabilities, not a threat to outrun.

04

Ecosystem Strength

Relationships and options that don't depend on one role or company.

05

Impact Alignment

Making sure the work you're building toward is actually the work you want.

Six weeks, three phases

The Curriculum

Discovery, Design, Delivery — each phase two weeks long. Click a week to see what happens in group, what happens 1:1, and what you walk away with.

Phase 01

Discovery

Weeks 1–2

Group Hour

Full five-dimension diagnostic establishing an honest starting point; Adaptive Leadership introduced as the dimension that unlocks the other four; Climber vs. Architect introduced as the frame for the six weeks.

1:1 Coaching Hour

Walk through individual diagnostic results. Tactic — "The Mirror Question": Where in the diagnostic did you feel most defensive? That instinct usually points to the gap that matters most.

DeliverableCompleted 5-dimension baseline + personal reinvention thesis

Group Hour

Shift from "waiting to be chosen" to "actively building"; The One Experiment — designing a small, bounded, real test; group commitment round.

1:1 Coaching Hour

Scope a specific experiment. Tactic — "The Permission Audit": "I could start this, but I'm waiting for ___ to ___." Is that a real dependency, or a story that protects you from the risk of trying?

DeliverableA scoped experiment with a start date — theirs, not a committee's

Phase 02

Design

Weeks 3–4

Group Hour

Tasks vs. Capabilities — where AI absorbs work vs. where judgment still wins; live hands-on AI tool application to real reinvention tasks.

1:1 Coaching Hour

Apply AI tools to the Week 2 experiment. Tactic — "The Delegation Test": Five tasks on your plate — could AI draft a usable first version of each in under ten minutes?

DeliverableOne AI-assisted output tied directly to your experiment

Group Hour

Ecosystem thinking — the strength of weak ties; group exercise mapping each other's ecosystems live.

1:1 Coaching Hour

Personal ecosystem map. Tactic — "The Three-Call Challenge": Pick three names you haven't spoken to in a year, draft the outreach message together, send within 48 hours.

DeliverableA simple ecosystem map

Phase 03

Delivery

Weeks 5–6

Group Hour

Service as a durable source of value alongside Experience and Learning; Voice — practicing the reinvention story out loud in group.

1:1 Coaching Hour

Identify a service organization in an area that is meaningful to you — how does that align with your goals.

DeliverableA refined personal narrative, already said out loud once

Group Hour

Re-run the Week 1 diagnostic to show movement across all five dimensions; closing ceremony where each person names their next 30-day commitment aloud.

1:1 Coaching Hour

Final session reviewing the arc. Tactic — "The Keep/Kill/Start Close": What are you keeping as-is? What are you killing, even if useful? What are you starting that didn't exist before today?

DeliverableBefore/after 5-dimension diagnostic + a 30/60/90-day sustaining plan

By week six

You don't just leave with ideas. You leave with artifacts.

  • A completed five-dimension baseline and a matching Week 6 re-assessment, side by side
  • A scoped, real-world experiment you actually started — not just planned
  • An AI-assisted output built directly from your own reinvention work
  • A personal ecosystem map, and three reactivated relationships
  • A reinvention narrative you've already said out loud, more than once
  • A written 30/60/90-day plan to sustain the practice after the cohort ends

Built by someone who did this the hard way first

This cohort didn't start as a curriculum. It started as a multi-year personal experiment — leaving a stable, ladder-shaped career to find out what it actually takes to design your own. The frameworks here were tested on that experiment before they were tested on anyone else.

Every tactic in this program has been run in real coaching rooms, refined against real reinventions — not written from theory and hoped into practice.

Questions

Before You Reserve a Seat

If you're anticipating disruption, already inside it, or rebuilding after retirement — and you're willing to actually do the weekly work, not just absorb it — this is built for you. It's not a passive listening experience.

Two hours a week for six weeks — one hour of group session, one hour of 1:1 coaching — plus whatever time you choose to put into the week's experiment between sessions.

We are intentionally keeping the cohort to 5 people.

$1,200 USD for the full six-week program, including weekly group sessions, weekly 1:1 coaching, and all cohort materials.

Not a problem. We can schedule a time to makeup the session and for some we will post the recording so you can watch at your leisure.
