Partner, McKinsey & Company

“Zander is a change artist. He mixes together simple tools and maps that help us explore complex human landscapes,  fun visuals, great music, stories and play to create a unique learning experience. He also bring together a rich mix of  inspiring leaders from a broad range of contexts to share as we learn together. I love both watching him teach and  engaging in the learning dialogue. It has profoundly influenced my own work.”

“Life is overwhelming. Yet, you can adapt. Through this Sprint you will experience personal transformation. I gained  new friends, received tools, and celebrated what matters most in this wonderful world we live in. Join the Sprint. Bring  a friend. Dive into an experience that will lift your joy as you make the world beautiful.”

“2020 demanded a lot of us. While the start of a new year certainly breathed new life and hope after so much  heartache, I know I still needed space to integrate the lessons of 2020, while balancing the uncertainty that remained  in 2021. And I needed to be in community with others that were navigating that how as well. The Sprint series has  been a critical space + community to navigate designing my life with intention. It is messy, it is hard, and we are not  meant to do this all alone. We are meant to be witnessed, affirmed and loved amidst all the ugliness, vulnerability  and of course beauty of our paths. So more than the tools of design with intention, the Sprint was about bearing  witness, permission to be exactly who we are, and to do differently if we so choose.” 

Executive Coach, Culture Change Specialist

“The Sprint is a great opportunity to learn and grow with a group of wonderful people. Zander’s  attention to the whole and to each of us, and the acceptance that we are in different moments of our life, were truly  helpful. Now, a few weeks after the program I am still in the process of learning. The rich toolbox we received will  stay relevant for me and also useful in my work with clients. Zander connects to us through humanity and passion, his  wealth of experience and understanding of complexities of life. Last but not least, his incredible ability to respond to  challenging situations through drawings, music and humor turns hard work into a relaxing and enjoyable journey.”

“How can we lead from a place of love? How can we stay gentle and vulnerable with ourselves and others when  things get hard? Zander makes the abstract concrete and gives us a hands-on toolkit that allows us to practice loving kindness within the framework of leadership. He lives by example and it’s contagious. Zander, Rachel and the  community of change-makers who participated in this course inspire me to think broader, listen deeper and speak kinder.” 

Consultant, ZS Strategies

“I am 20 years into a career I love but in recent years I felt like both work and life outside work had been narrowing  and shrinking — rather than developing and growing. The eight-week sprint with Zander and Rachel was a discovery  trek. They offered tools I’d never seen or used before and my classmates helped create a joyful and genuine space  for learning together. The sprint broke through some walls, expanded what I thought was possible, and helped me  recommit to the most important things in life and work.” 

Law Firm Partner and Leadership Coach  

“The Sprint was the best investment I made in 2021.  This is a program for leaders at the top of their game and for the coaches and trusted advisors who help them rise. Against a sea of professional development offerings, the substantive depth and spiritual heart of Zander’s material shines.  His approach to Adaptive Change is exactly the lens I needed to reflect inward and lead outward.  It is the rarest of gifts to be guided through a framework that provides such a “meta” approach to navigating evolution of self and system – while also delivering concrete, accessible, and intuitive tools that can be applied immediately.  Our cohort was populated by sophisticated and innovative leaders, whose wisdom and thought-provoking contributions further enriched the material and created a uniquely safe space to challenge each other and grow together.”
