Course overview

Spend your days fighting fires or each other?

The Challenge

When you start work each day, where’s the first place you look: your goals or someone else’s messages?


You start each day with the best intentions, but somehow find yourself constantly reacting instead of leading. Sure, it would be nice to focus on your own goals, but you care about those other people (or at least some of them 😁). They’re colleagues and customers, family and friends...


🤹 How can you collaborate with them responsively without forsaking your goals and becoming just a (re-)Actor in their story? 🎬


Your days are filled with back-to-back meetings, sky-high customer or investor expectations, wishes that your team could move faster sooner, that you could move even faster and work on what really matters instead of fighting fires.


As you try to move faster, people fall short of your expectations and their potential. It causes friction and frustration (even if you hide it well).


It's uncomfortable to call out, so you avoid giving feedback or mention it lightly, which makes the situation more uncomfortable.


Eventually, you decide to give feedback.


Sometimes it goes okay. Often, you try to move through and out of the conversation as quickly as possible because it feels so awkward.


Growth and improvements rarely last. You take on more work yourself to get it done.


The Solution (Evidence-based. Immediately applicable.)

⏱️ EVERYTHING YOU READ BELOW WILL BE ORIENTED TO IMMEDIATE APPLICATION DURING THE COURSE ⏳

What if you could shift from being a re-Actor in someone else's story to becoming the (co-) Author of your own?


This course will support you, step by step, in building your Operating System to make this shift.


Fancy apps aren't enough. Nor are bursts of motivation.


A sustainable Operating System has 3 features:

🧰 Tools (simple enough to keep using, and amplified by AI)

🔁 Habits (the tools don't use themselves...except for some of the AI ones we'll build)

🧠 Mindsets (you can "productively" spend your life responding to other people's messages and requests--or build something that matters)


No, "perfection" isn't possible (or even desirable). But our days--and our results--completely shift when we focus our attention systematically instead of ad-hoc and reactively.


And our conversations shift when we stop trying to fix people and start inspiring them to take action and grow.


We teach you how to do this by using straightforward approaches that reliably transform defensiveness and friction into self-reflection, connection, and motivation to grow.


You will start to look forward to feedback conversations because you will know how to use them as powerful tools for building trust and deepening connection. You will also explore your own mindsets and beliefs around feedback, identifying your own patterns around conflict avoidance, people-pleasing, and controlling behaviors.


Once you've shifted the way you manage yourself and lead your team conversations, applying evidence-based approaches tested with 1000s of managers and amplified with AI, the whole game becomes fun again.


Bonus:

📝 You will also get 5 step-by-step facilitation guides for sharing and teaching your team members everything we cover in this course. This helps establish shared language and frameworks within your team/organization, and positions you as the leader of change.


📖  You'll also get our 20-page Offsite Playbook with step-by-step guidance on how to design and facilitate unforgettable team and company gatherings. 🚀


And you'll get to do this while in a practice lab with other high-growth leaders.

What people are saying

        I don’t feel nervous about this anymore, not about “Am I going to say it right?” or “What are they going to think?” Something about feedback makes us feel it is negative. The GAIN approach helped me reframe and see it as, “This is a positive, normal part of the human experience.” Approaching it as such, things get so much better for everybody.

        By spending more time focused on the deep work, the things that matter, staying less reactive in the inbox, it just feels like I've unlocked to the next level. The balance of work and kids just doesn't trouble me. I've come to peace with figuring out a balance that works for me. And I'm not worried about what others think about how I prioritize.

        I love how research-based this approach is, and the interactive exercises made it really engaging and easy to apply for our team. Also, basing feedback on observations instead of judgments has made such a difference for me professionally and personally, shifting conversations from defensive to focused on the actions and impacts we want to create.

        Once I did it once or twice the “right” way and saw the other people actually listen and change and drive the business results or the behavior that I was trying to help them towards, I was like, “This is great. I can do this.” It created such a positive feedback loop, and now it’s something I just do that I think people really appreciate about me.
Brian Martin

Pine COO
        I think what's most different about my day-to-day is what I'm choosing to make time for: explaining my overall thought process, trying to define the goals and the strategy of the business. When I make time for that, then I can leverage the group of people that we have around us more effectively than if I'm just running by myself.
