Course overview
Create a better future from the inside out
We can’t solve today’s problems with outdated patterns of thinking and doing.
If you’re saying “There’s gotta be a better way. But if not this, then what?” you’re not alone.
Even when you know the way you’re working isn’t working anymore, letting go of the old and creating space for a better future is hard.
But it’s simpler than you might think to transform your “stuck” into a golden opportunity for you, your business, and your people.

Jung Starrett, JD
Leadership Facilitator
In my former career of 20 years as a corporate lawyer, I worked with smart and driven clients in startups and global corporations like IBM and Microsoft. While facilitating negotiations, structuring deals, and advising leaders, I often wondered:
- Why do we get stuck and struggle alone?
- What makes us come alive and thrive at work?
- How can people work together with joy, creativity, and vitality?
These questions led me to a journey of learning, practicing, and integrating the essential skills of simply being human: accessing all of our cognitive, emotional, physical, and relational intelligence to be of benefit to society, business, and self.
Charles Starrett, MM, MA
Leadership Facilitator
As a Harvard-trained cultural anthropologist with a Masters in piano performance and a lifetime of experience teaching communication skills, I’ve practiced the art of possibility ever since studying with Ben Zander at New England Conservatory of Music.
While I enjoyed teaching and researching, I didn’t see knowledge alone making a visible and practical difference in the world. There was a knowing-doing gap, and I wanted to know how to close it. Starting with myself — the one person I could change.
This began a learning journey of becoming aware of my mind, learning to sense the data from my body, and harmonizing my mind-body system so that I could begin to co-create the future I wanted to live in.
