Andrew Mason

Groupon

“Having gone through LIT, I’m dumbstruck by the complete absence of opportunities to learn and develop these skills in life so far - but as obvious as that seems now, previously, I was equally as oblivious. It feels essential.”

Iman Abuzeid

Incredible Health

“This is a no brainer, just do it. Transformative. Incredibly insightful in helping me realize exactly what I do/say that influences others. I’m very hopeful that the strong camaraderie that emerged from this impressive group of CEOs will continue for the rest of my life.”

Logan Green

Lyft

“LIT is an experience of a lifetime: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll learn more about yourself and the human-condition then you could imagine.”

Emmett Shear

Twitch

“If you’ve ever wanted to improve your ability to connect with those around you, build trust, and share authentically, attend this program.”

Anita Koimur

“LIT is the shortcut that helped me to save decades and find a way to my deeper, more compassionate, and empathetic self. I feel like I know have "a hack" to take interpersonal relationships to the next level.”

Annie Kadavy

Redpoint Ventures

“If you’ve never had a T-Group experience, you must. What you’ll learn about yourself and others will improve all of your most important relationships and potentially change your life in just 4 days.”

Ben Jackson

Upsolve

"After 20 years of bumbling around in my personal relationships and 10 years doing the same as a leader, I was exhausted. I had tried everything. It feels crazy saying it – but the four days of intensive work with the skillful, compassionate instructors at LIT "fixed me."...This was one of the top five learning experiences of my life, and you will not regret it."

Blake Pierson

Fathom

“While this is a big time commitment, it is by far the highest ROI course/event I’ve ever attended — by orders of magnitude.”

Chris Bennett

Wonderschool

“This was a mind blowing, impactful experience. I think I learned more about myself in that one weekend than I have over the last 8 years. Along with that I’ve made some awesome friends in the process.”

Claire McDonnell

True Link Financial

“This program helped me figure out how to grow myself as a leader so I can be what my company needs as we scale. ”
