“Working in a group was a pleasant surprise for me. I’m very grateful for this experience—to you and to everyone involved. This format adds about 60% more value to the process. Sometimes it’s even more interesting than one-on-one mentoring. Everyone was more or less on the same wavelength, trying to make sense of what was going on. Through other participants, I saw myself. Their stories were just as relevant as my own case.”
— Roman Slipchenko, founder of Areal.design
This is feedback from a participant in the February course, “The Ritual of Transformation.”
I’ll admit, before launching it, I had doubts about the group format. Would people trust each other? Would they share their experience? Would they speak honestly about their problems?
It turned out those fears were groundless—when:
The group is small,
The people are mature,
Each person has already suffered his way to his question,
And the environment supports both trust and growth.
A group can offer something different—and more—than a one-on-one format. A kind of “we-space” appears. Like a group of hunters, five million years ago, attacking a mammoth from different sides.
The businesses are different. The Work is one.
It doesn’t matter if the business is big or small—the founder is always alone. It’s hard to find not advice, but understanding: what it feels like to keep going and keep building against all odds. In a group, you finally exhale:
“I’m okay.”
Everyone around expects the founder to be an endless source of energy, persistence, and wow ideas. As if he were not a person, but a god. But a founder has to protect—and restore—his own capacity to found.
Be sure to find your group. In the meantime, join the waitlist.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
