THE HUMERGENCE
APPROACH
Just as with all nature,
you were designed
to change.

A Breakthrough Story
After life upended my world three times in a decade, I noticed something...
I was getting faster at recovering from life-altering change.
I got curious.
Was I building certain skills and mindsets
that helped me maintain a feeling of stability in uncertain times?
Some deep self-reflection and owning the outcomes of my life indicated I was.
Then I got more curious.
I started wondering
and my engineering trained brain
started putting together ideas and observations.
Was there a formula to achieving
breakthroughs that led to a better future?
Research indicated there was. I discovered that there was a common pattern of behavior that people who successfully reinvent, rise from adversity, or thrive in uncertainty all followed. Seeing this pattern of behavior and knowing what skills helped someone adapt more quickly, I wondered:
Was there a natural change process?
Was it possible to train your mind to be better at this process?
If you did, would future change be easier?
Could you engineer breakthroughs based on this process
and help people get to better faster?
All evidence pointed to YES.
The Breakthrough Compass was born.
Inspired by personal experience and honed through four years of research and trial and error, the breakthrough compass is the foundation for all of the work I do.
Founded on human nature, backed by science, and proven to help you
achieve breakthroughs in your personal and professional life.
Humergence Happens When You
Nurture Your Human Nature
Today's disruptive world feels jarring and unstable.
Why?
Although born with the unique capacity to adapt to the world around you, this innate strength has atrophied after living in a world of relative stability for generations.
You have spent decades strengthening your ability to follow directions and color within the lines, so it's only natural that you feel disoriented and powerless when the lines disappear and there are no directions guiding you to success.
Your body is biologically designed to trigger defenses
when you feel threatened and ill-prepared for a situation.
Since the very capabilities you need most to navigate disruption
have atrophied from lack of use,
much of the world is triggering your defenses.
The result?
Human nature is working against you making progress towards your goals
rather than for you.
Your human nature is putting up road-blocks and amplifying conflict
in the name of safety and preserving what is,
and it is doing all of this
largely without your knowledge.
In fact your brain is likely fooling you into believing you are doing the best you can and those around you are reminding you to be resilient and just get through it.
You are incredibly strong and can endure a lot.
But to what end?
Resilience isn't enough.
Eventually, the conditions of life will change so much,
you will be forced to change or wither.
Since the changes you are facing are inevitable,
feeling powerless in the face of them is too.
To regain a sense of balance and feel empowered again, it's time to revive and strengthen your natural capacity to thrive in uncertainty
and navigate change.
It's time to intentionally engineer the courage you need to experience humergence.
What is humergence?
It's when your mind gains a new understanding of life,
your body adapts with new habits and capabilities to help you thrive in changed conditions of life,
when your heart embraces a new view of yourself and those around you,
and your soul feels a new sense of purpose about how to show up in life.
Humergence is when you become a version of yourself
that is better suited to thrive
no matter what you are facing.
When you achieve this,
building bridges across divides,
making progress despite ambiguity,
feeling motivated to embrace change,
and seeing the world in a new light will feel
not only possible, but desirable.
With practice and guidance,
you will feel more empowered to handle
whatever this changing world throws at you.
