Create Your Foundation

Despite the genuine best efforts of teachers and school administrators, the reality seems to be that far too many kids are simply unprepared for the high level of self-management and tolerance for ambiguity that the 21st century requires.

  • classes are fun and entertaining - we don't like to be bored and we assume that you don't either!

  • groups meet for 4 hours once a week for 7 weeks. Yay, that sounds like a lot, but trust us, you'll want to keep coming back.

  • you'll enjoy the time you spend with the group

  • you'll be challenged, but on stuff that you actually care about getting better at

What we promise...

  • you'll leave the program feeling much more in control of your life and all the things you have to get done

  • you'll be heard. This one is huge for us: this program - and everything we do - isn't about us, it's about you. If something doesn't make sense to you or you don't see how to apply it in your life, we'll give you a different tool or approach to try. What matters most is not that you understand our approach, but tat we understand - and respond to - your needs.
