What You’ll Experience
💻 10 Expert-Led Masterclasses
Ten top-level coaches, analysts, and learning specialists deliver high-quality live webinars packed with real-world insight, frameworks, and stories from across the game.
Can’t attend live? 99% of sessions are recorded and yours to keep for lifetime access.
🧠 The Rabbit Hole Resource
Each week, you’ll receive a digital “Rabbit Hole” resource — an article, video, document or research to help you explore that week’s topic in depth and on your own terms.
This replaces the book list from previous editions, giving you more flexible, personal learning pathways.
🤝 1:1 Networking & Reflection
After every session, you’ll be paired with another coach for a short reflective conversation.
Discuss, debate, or challenge ideas — using provided prompts or your own.
Build lasting connections and grow your coaching network as you go.
