How can challenge and conflict be powerful drivers of growth, resilience, and innovation?
How do we turn friction into forward motion?
In today’s unpredictable world, cooperation isn’t just important—it’s essential. But what if conflict itself could be a powerful driver of growth, resilience, and innovation?
Join us for Antagonistic Cooperation: Accelerating Growth & Resilience via Conflict and Challenge, where we’ll explore how jazz-inspired leadership principles turn challenges into opportunities. Like in a great jam session, the push and pull of diverse perspectives can spark breakthroughs—if we learn how to engage them effectively.
In this interactive session, you’ll gain practical tools to:
- Reframe conflict as a catalyst for leadership growth
- Strengthen team collaboration through creative tension
- Apply “shedding practices” to build resilience and adaptability

We are a husband-and-wife team deeply involved in business and the arts for several decades. As advocates for the inspirational power of music, we decided to use America's fine art of jazz to provide individuals and companies an innovative model grounded in high-performance principles and experiential practices to: enhance communications skills, strengthen leadership capacity, and elevate group collaboration.
Using a whole-brain, values-based cultural technology anchored in collaborative leadership, we have worked with top corporate clients, such as Google, JPMorgan Chase, TD Bank, Verizon, and the Center for Policing Equity.
Our digital learning platform translates high performance jazz methods into pragmatic tools and practices, setting the stage for workplace success in the 21st century.
