In these monthly, no-cost mini-workshops, you will:

  • Hear from guest speakers with insight on a range of topics relevant to spicy brains

  • Connect with fellow neurospicy adults interested in the same topics as you

These workshops happen on the third Thursday of the month at noon eastern. You can watch prior workshops on YouTube, which have covered everything from neurodivergence in leadership to time management for brains that work differently.

Spicy Brains Learn Fast

The 8-week program for founders, solopreneurs, and small business owners who know that standard leadership advice fails to account for how our unique wiring shapes the ways we process, plan, and communicate. In this program, participants:

  • Set goals for the Quarter

  • Identify what supports you need that actually fit how you work

  • Get expert guidance on how to lean into the strengths of your unique brain

  • Engage in co-working and consulting time to get the stickiest things off your list

A 7-week small-group program for professionals who want to:

  • Learn the science behind the struggle AND the strengths of having a brain that works differently

  • Get new strategies and tips to try to tackle procrastination, distractibility, inconsistent motivation, decision challenges and more

  • Design custom experiments to figure out what methods will work uniquely for you

  • Connect with community, feel seen, and have accountability

The next session starts soon, and seats are limited.

FAQs

Who are these programs for?

Each program is designed for people with spicy brains seeking support in work and leadership. Spicy Brains Lead Differently is a closed program exclusively for people who own their own business, whether as a solopreneur, fractional, consultant, or organization leader. Typically these leaders have a social mission that drives their work, regardless of whether the formal legal structure is an NPO or B-corp. Spicy Brains Get Stuff Done and Spicy Brains Learn Fast are open to anyone who knows their brain works differently, regardless of formal label.

We hit the topics that are top of mind for our audience: procrastination, time-management, attention, decision-making, masking, goal-setting with a differently wired brain, and more. Each program covers different topics in more detail--look into each of them to learn more.

It depends on the program. Given our background in social impact, it's important to us to make sure there's support available for every budget. The monthly mini-workshops are always free, there are discount codes available for Spicy Brains Get Stuff Done for newsletter subscribers and min-workshop attendees, and Spicy Brains Lead Differently has different price points for leaders at different stages in their business.

Spicy Brains Learn Fast are bite-sized workshops that are 30-45 minutes long and happen once a month. Spicy Brains Get Stuff Done and Spicy Brains Lead Differently provide support and learning over a longer time period (7-8 weeks).

Very! Most of us with brains that work differently need the chance to really wrestle with our questions and collaborate with other people who get what we're navigating in order to find what works for us. Also, we can't stand just being a talking head.

Program Details

This 8 week cohort is for business owners who are wired differently.

In the first session, we spend 90 minutes identifying the top priorities for the quarter. Then we zero in on picking strategies that actually fit our spicy brains to support us in hitting those goals.

After that, we meet for one hour a week to:

  • Share what's working and what's not

  • Get support making tweaks that fit our unique ways of working

  • Adjust our goals based on emerging results

  • Lean into the strengths, and grapple with the challenges, that come with running a business with a spicy brain

  • Do some co-working / body-doubling times to just get those tasks done that we'd otherwise put off

The exact dates and times are set around the schedules of accepted applicants.

Cost

To make this program accessible to as many spicy-brained business owners as need it, there's three options for program participation:

  • Supported ($200): This provides access to all group sessions at a discounted price to support those who need it. For those who are at the building stage where they're not yet making enough to pay anything beyond the basics. (There are a limited number of "supported" seats, so please only apply for this if you truly need it to participate)

  • Support ($900): This provides access to the group program plus one 1:1 coaching session. This level is a good fit for leaders who are making enough to pay the bills but not yet enough to help others.

  • Supporting ($1,500): This provides access to the group program plus three 1:1 coaching sessions. For leaders who want to pay it forward, this price point enables future "supported" spots for those working with less.
