You’ll get coaching and insight from others in the room and have the opportunity to launch your vision into the world, through a series of peer to peer feedback sessions.

What was a high-point moment for you
at the xchange Summit?

Craig Bruce

“Everything! From the initial kickoff call, the attention to detail in the design as well as the focus to service set the tone for the in-person meeting. Being with brilliant, heart-centered professionals in Cleveland building up to the design day created an environment for breakthrough thinking & design in my consulting business. Augment all of this with yoga and organic sustainable meals, I didn’t want to leave!”

Craig Bruce, Executive Coach

Doreen Steenland

“The space that was created for creativity, collaboration, reflection, fun, empathy, curiosity, innovation, interaction with nature, deep connection kept us tapped into the perfect region of our brain for activating world change! The connections with the most amazing and creative world changers I have ever been privileged to be shoulder to shoulder with. Design day was off the charts! The team helped me take all my blobs of thought and design an amazing three hour experiential keynote that will slay!”

“One (of many) highlights was the continued opportunity for mastery. Watching facilitation at these events always impresses. I was thinking this week that studying facilitation is really no different than building expertise in any discipline. The more you know…the more opportunities for growth you see. Thanks xchange for the constant opportunity to deepen the learning.”
