Facilitating Employment Visioneering Session for the X PRIZE.

The Future of… - What does the future of your industry or field look like? What needs improvement, fixing, or re-imagination? This session is a powerful exercise in envisioning a better future and taking tangible steps to create it.

Innovation Workshops - Inspired by X PRIZE Visioneering, with elements of first principles reasoning and design thinking. Unlocks the mental models used by some of the globe’s most respected innovators to disrupt existing systems, rather than create incremental change. Uses powerful questions to open your mind to new possibilities. Shows how this mindset can be used as a competitive advantage for entrepreneurs and organizations.

Strategic Facilitation - Identify and clarify vision, purpose, mission, messaging, and values for your organization. Tap into the crowd for inspiration and innovative ideation. Get guidance for new product development, organizational initiatives, or culture definition. Or design your own bespoke session(s) combining the above.

Question Salons – Evening discussions inspired by the Jeffersonian Dinners hosted by our 3rd president and the creative salons held by Gertrude Stein in Paris in the 1920’s. Provides attendees an opportunity to explore big questions, build trust, and engage deeply with one another. Can be organized as an evening event preceding other team facilitations and workshops.

Ikigai For Entrepreneurs - What if the next generation of entrepreneurs built businesses that were deeply connected to their personal Ikigai? What if the paradigm of entrepreneurship shifted such that every business was a combination of what we can be paid for, what we are good at, what the world needs, and what we love? (Can be customized for intrapreneurs, innovating within existing companies).

What Her Audiences Have Said

"Kacy takes a room into the palm of her hand and holds them rapt."

"Kacy’s questions expertly and quickly zeroed in on the marrow of the subjects at hand.  With no pretension or artifice she seamlessly navigates true connection between the group and with the individual to themselves.  The session and her questions were absolutely refreshing and exhilarating."

"I wasn't expecting to be moved as much as I was."

"It was really clarifying, inspiring and timely."

"As a facilitator, Kacy inspires trust and authenticity. A surprising self-reflection question illuminated a new insight that has shaped how I approach my career based on a better understanding of what has led me to where I am today. I’d highly recommend this experience to other seekers who are looking to align their heart and grow their spirit in the company of other inspired leaders." 

"As an entrepreneur, faced with the interminable demands required to keep you and your business moving forward, it's all too easy to lose sight of what's truly driving you. Kacy's leadership, through her own story and pointed group discussion, helps refocus the purpose behind your work in a way that resonates far beyond the discussion itself."

"I’m a CEO who regularly speaks in front of thousands of people and that doesn’t make me nervous. But sitting here, about to answer these questions, my heart is racing."

"I wish this session had come sooner. We’ve all been together for the past three weeks, and I’m only now feeling like we’re getting to know one another."
