“…if work is the way we are molded and made, we must remake the work that makes us.”

Welcome to Seminar.
Purpose & Values
Seminar x What Works provides immersive learning experiences that equip participants with the mental frameworks required to navigate uncertainty, tackle complex problems, embrace ambiguity and flexibility, and respond to evolving information with empathy and understanding.
Curiosity
We believe learning spaces should be places where we question the status quo and eagerly learn about new ways of being.
Context
We believe learning spaces should be places where we look below the surface to investigate the context of ideas and experiences.
Care
We believe learning spaces should be places of mutual concern. Even when we disagree, we demonstrate our care for each other.
Our Approach
theory & systems
We use systems thinking and sensemaking to deconstruct the topic at hand. To understand the impact of our object of curiosity, we have to understand its context.
Application
We integrate what we learn by putting it into practice. We write, design, coach, converse, illustrate, curate, and more.
Identity & Relationships
Every question is a question about people. By investigating how our identities and relationships intersect with the object of our curiosity, we better understand its meaning.
Critique
We practice close reading and careful observation to see how our object of curiosity functions in the wild.
