Rescript how your learn and grow
📅 July 18, 2026 · 4:00 PM EST · 75 minutes · $57 (Free for paid members)
You know the pattern. A fortnight of getting serious about growth, a plan you were genuinely proud of, then it thins out until one ordinary Tuesday you realize you’ve quietly stopped. You blame the plan for being too loose, or yourself for being undisciplined. It took me a long time to see the third option: I was following a script for growth I’d never written. Someone handed it to me and I read from it for years.
I learned this on a hospital floor beside my son, with a notebook and a question I couldn’t put down: who am I becoming? Seventeen years in corporate had taught me how to plan. That month taught me I’d been planning around a script that was never mine. What got me out from under it, eight months later, wasn’t a tidier plan. It was a re-scripted one.
That’s what these 75 minutes are for. One small, live workshop, and you leave with your growth and learning re-scripted, on paper, in your own words. You won’t be doing it alone. It’s a small room on purpose, a handful of faces on the screen and a pen going quiet in your hand while someone else finds their words first. When they name the inherited script they’ve carried for years, something goes still in you, because you recognize it before they’ve finished the sentence.
That’s when the thing you’d been circling for a week finally lands, and your own pen starts moving again. You’ll borrow a line from the person two squares over, the one who said what you didn’t have language for yet, and you’ll leave with a page that’s yours and a couple of names you already want to keep talking to.
What you’ll walk away with:
The one inherited script that’s been quietly running your last three attempts at getting serious about growth, named on paper inside the first twenty minutes.
Your own rewritten version of it, plus a short scene of what a normal Tuesday looks like once it’s true.
A one-page growth plan you design yourself: what you’re growing towards, and what you’re learning purely because it interests you. It closes with one thing to do tomorrow. Your curriculum, not somebody else’s.
“I did this after reading your piece, and it kept unfolding two days later,” one member told me. This isn’t something I built for July. It’s Future Scripting, the method I’ve run in more than 25 live workshops with people on several continents, pointed now at the one plan you keep abandoning.
A few things you might be turning over before you commit.
If it’s a time thing, I understand, though abandoning another plan next month costs more than one Saturday afternoon. You come once, you leave with a single page, and there’s nothing to keep maintaining afterwards.
Maybe you’ve set goals before and they didn’t hold. That’s usually because the goal sat on top of the inherited script instead of one you’d rewritten. We rebuild the foundation first, so this becomes the first plan you make standing on ground you agreed to.
And if you don’t see yourself as a planner, neither do I. There are no spreadsheets in this. It’s a pen and one page, one honest sentence at a time, written the way you’d write to yourself at 11pm when nobody’s watching.
If you want someone to hand you a finished plan, this isn’t for you. It’s for the person who’s tired of running one they never wrote in the first place.

FAQ:
Do I need writing experience? No. This is a writing practice, not a writing performance. Spelling doesn’t count. It’s just you, on the page, telling the truth you’ve been avoiding.
How is this different from journaling? Future Scripting writes the future in enough concrete detail that your brain starts treating it as a memory worth navigating toward. Different direction. Different result.
I’ve tried a lot of things. Why would this work? Because everything else you’ve tried has been about finding the right answer on the outside. This is about removing the excuse on the inside. Different problem. Right tool.
Will there be a replay? Yes, replay + a workbook arrives in your inbox within 24 hours of the workshop.
