“GroundWork is like couples therapy, but for your relationship with work.”
— Alyson La
The Blocks
GroundWork includes five themes of experiential exercises, introspections, and helpful resources to help you align your relationship with work.
Each block guides a holistic and humanized examination of your work and what you need to thrive in it. At the end of the process you'll have a personalized work "roadmap" to orient to work that works for you.
-
This Block builds awareness around what you need personally when it comes to work.
We'll explore who you are, what your relationship to work is, and begin to identify how you can set yourself up for success in work. -
Structured | Work is an exploration of how you can flow in your work. We will work to identify and implement the structures and systems that you need in a healthy and productive work environment. We will optimize your workflow, identify your natural work cycles, and set clear boundaries and permissions with your work.
-
The Valued | Work Block is focused on building awareness around the value you place on work and its reciprocity.
We will explore your relationship with money and the vision for your financial future.
-
The Team | Work Block explores how you operate best in a team setting, who you have in your support network, and how to have meaningful interpersonal conversations.
-
The Aligned | Work Block ties it all together into how you can work toward work that works for you.
We will identify your “toolkit” by exploring your strengths, skills, and resources, then design a roadmap to alignment.

The Nitty Gritty
-
The only prerequisite to GroundWork is a genuine willingness to explore the depths of your relationship to work.
-
Groundwork is a 9–week cohort program plus 1:1 & deep–dive mentoring sessions.
As an integrative program, GroundWork does necessitate available time and emotional capacity, but it is designed to fit within the life of a work working human.
We ask participants to consider their own time and capacity before registering.
-
GroundWork and human–work alignment are significant endeavors and do require a level of commitment.
We ask participants to intentionally commit to the entire program, attend all sessions, and fully complete the exercises.
That said, we are all human and understand that life happens. If you need to miss a session we can work with you to catch up.
We also never want to box anyone into something that doesn’t fit for them. If you genuinely feel GroundWork isn’t right for you, you may choose to step away with no penalty. We simply ask for good faith reciprocity for value received beyond your deposit.
-
We utilize an online e–course platform and for all guided exercises, scheduled events, and cohort communications.
Cohort sessions are hosted via Zoom, and Mentoring sessions have options for zoom, phone call, or if circumstances allow, in person meetings.
A downloadable/printable workbook is also utilized to facilitate introspection.
-
Once you enroll in the program we will first send you an automated confirmation. This is simply for your reference.
A few days prior to the launch of the cohort, we will formally invite you into the program portal and introduce you to the cohort. From there it’s smooth sailing.
Plus, as long as you are a Member of Human|Work, you'll get continued access to all of the resources, alumni events, & discussion forum to help you stay aligned.

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 (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 GroundWork is:
• a deep, soul search for what work you can’t not do (no, that’s not a typo)
• whole–human alignment in your purpose, values, and the expression of the work that works for you.
• community support in the practice of human–work alignment.
• a series of really fun exercises, inspirational resources, and functional tools
• so much more!
