Build the Foundation of purposeful work.
Foundations is a personalized (and we mean personalized) program designed to support you as you build the work of your dreams, be it a new business, a non–profit, or a career.
Over 12–months, our mentors will support you in each step you take toward the work that works for you.
Actually DO the work you can't not do
Step–by–step support at your own pace.
The why, what, and how of your Work, Your Way
Do it all with the loving support of our Mentors & community.
Your work, Your way
Foundations provides the support you need, without the confines of traditional incubators, cohorts, or step–by–step programs, or the price of fancy–pants consulting.
The program is a year–long container that includes mentorship, community, education, and resources to support your work, your way.
-
Foundations is designed for you and the first step is to create a custom support plan and roadmap that aligns with your purpose.
The first month of Foundations includes aligning to your purpose (Core Ideology), orienting to the program, meeting your mentors, and designing a custom plan for how you'll build your work.
-
We are here to support you each step of the way.
During onboarding, you'll be assigned a mentor guide who will be your point of contact through this process.
They will guide you asynchronously as you need and help you navigate your work and the Foundations experience.
-
With a plan in place, you'll work with our mentors 1:1 to start building the work of your dreams.
Foundations includes 10x personalized mentoring sessions to use when you need and with who.
The sessions may be used anytime 12 months. Additional sessions can be purchased at the member rate of $135.
-
Foundations includes a rotating schedule of weekly workshops led by our mentors.
These group sessions are where you can learn about certain topics, connect in community, and get feedback from others.
Workshops will include 45 minutes of guided learning and 45 minutes of open discussion, breakout rooms, and feedback.
-
You'll get access to learning modules, or Blocks, to help guide you through how to build your work.
-
We plan to save you from scouring the internet or reinventing the wheel, by providing access to our growing library of tools, templates, and resources.
These include spreadsheet files, document templates, helpful "how–to's" and more!

The Money Part
reciprocity works
We desire to make all of our programs accessible and reciprocal. We also recognize that access to financial resources can be a barrier to this work.
Many of our clients are experiencing financial challenges, some are starting businesses and don’t have free capital, and others may have abundance while still unfulfilled in their work.

What You’ll Receive
Mentor Guide
You’ll get your very own Mentor Guide to support your Foundations Journey. They’ll be your point of contact, navigator, and biggest fan.
Core Ideology
During Orientation, we will guide you through aligning to your Core Ideology (purpose and values) and designing your roadmap.
Weekly Workshops
Each week, our mentors will host a workshop where our Foundations community can learn, connect, and get support. The first half will be guidance and the second half will be Q&A, 1:1 breakouts, and co–working.
Personal Program
You and your Mentor Guide will game plan the best strategy for maximizing your Foundations experience. We’ll guide you in who to meet with when, which workshops to attend, and how to build your work.
Resource Library
Over the years we’ve collected resources that have been helpful in our journey. We’re sharing them with you to save you time, energy, and frustration.
Foundations Blocks
Throughout the program, you’ll have access to the Foundations Blocks — themed modules and instructional courses to guide your work. Think “How to Register a Business” and “Humanized Negotiations.”

The Nitty Gritty
-
We accept a limited number of applications for Foundations each season.
It's very important to us that each participant gets the support needed to succeed and therefore are mindful of our capacity.Please use the get started button to complete an application. Applying does not mean you are committing to the program nor does it guarantee enrollment. We will connect with you to determine next steps once we receive your application.
-
While not required, we suggest completing GroundWork prior to starting Foundations (if so, part of your payment will be reduced.)
-
Foundations is built to be as personalized as you need it, while providing structure and support.
Some clients attend all of the workshops, complete all of the blocks, and meet weekly with a mentor (~5 hours per week)
Others need the bare minimum.
Foundations is what you need it to be. -
Foundations is a year–long container to support your growth over time. We ask that you commit for the entire program, however, we understand that we are all human and life changes.
If you start the program and need to change course, we will work with you to pro–rate your payment based on the value you received. -
We utilize an online e–course platform, for all guided exercises, scheduled events, and cohort communications.
Workshop sessions are hosted via Zoom, and Mentoring sessions have options for zoom, phone call, or if circumstances allow, in person meetings.

Good question! We’ll start by telling you what it’s not:
• a one–size fits all approach to how to start or run a business, or lead a team. (That's impossible)
• a snake–oil program that promises to make you rich, happy, or good looking.
• a quick fix for a crappy job, a recent layoff, or a failing venture. Or, a quick fix for anything really.
Here’s what Foundations is:
• a personalized program to support you in building work that works for you
• a community of other venturers and leaders who are walking similar paths
• a network of professional mentors here to help you as you navigate your own journey
• educational resources, guides, templates, exercises, and nearly everything you'll need to stay aligned and do your work.
