Akron professionals & idea-people: does something feel off but you can’t quite name it? Before you quit, investigate the tension first.
About this Event

Something feels off. You may be feeling restless at work, or you’ve had an idea stuck in your head for a while that you can’t shake. Maybe you're watching other people online make bold career moves and wondering if you should be doing the same. Or you’ve tried a few attempts already at launching a business and can’t quite seem to get traction.

Whatever the case, it boils down to not actually knowing what the real problem is yet.

Before you quit your job, launch something new, or make a dramatic change, it helps to slow down long enough to see what’s actually happening. Open Strategy Lab is a drop-in space designed exactly for that in-between moment.

This is structured time to examine the tension you're feeling before you act on it.


What to Bring:

  • A frustration at work you can't quite name
  • An idea that keeps stalling
  • A decision you're circling but not making
  • Or simply the sense that something isn't aligned


You'll have access to optional prompts and creative investigation kits. These are designed to help surface patterns around things like burnout, urgency, ego, uncertainty, and stalled momentum.

Rather than a structured facilitated lecture, this is space for you to work at your own pace. Nicole will be available throughout to help you investigate what you're noticing and ask the kinds of questions that help clarify what's really going on.

It’s like having a personal trainer, helping you think through a challenge, on a budget you can afford. It's a space to slow down your urgency long enough to understand it.

Sometimes the smartest strategic move is not moving too quickly.
