Opening to unexpected connection is a muscle. It's atrophying.
I design custom learning for teams — then I'm in the room and I run it.
Beliefs I infuse into everything I build
Strangers aren't dangerous. They're essential.
If all your connection arrives at 7pm with the same four friends, life gets lonely.
The best things in life are unscripted.
The moments that change us are met, not scheduled.
Connection lives in the body.
You can't read your way into it. Embodied skills need in-person practice.
Becoming isn't solitary. Or serious.
We evolve faster moving, playing and laughing alongside other people.
Aliveness begins where control ends.
Loosen the grip on the plan and follow what chance puts in front of you.
Kate is an exceptional learning designer and a true ally in the co-design process. She helps us ask the right questions about what learners actually need before jumping to solutions — then brings games, role plays and experiential activities that invite people out of familiar patterns. She knows how to stretch people beyond their comfort zones while keeping the experience purposeful and grounded in clear learning outcomes.
The method
Serendipity Seeking
Six states we move through when we open to what we didn't plan. It's a cycle, not a straight line — you might move through all six in a minute or across an hour, and knowing which state you're in is most of the practice.

I feel way more confident in myself and my ability to be present, even and especially in the presence of someone I don't know. Something I had forgotten.

It was like doing a fun emotional cartwheel — where all the blood rushes down and then back up.

I got to know my fellow participants more intimately within 60 minutes than if I'd chatted to them for hours.
