It’s time to reimagine what a true dynamic learning experience can be.
Our Signature Program (formerly Scaling Intimacy)
In this highly experiential four-week course and design sprint, you will learn how to design both in-person and virtual experiences to strategically deliver content, maximize impact and help participants feel connected and engaged. Developed through years of iteration with clients like Google, Nike, Genentech, Slack, SAP and the University of Texas – this model works!
We will work with the Dramatic Arc Event Template, a scaleable and repeatable framework for transformational learning experiences. It will accelerate your event design process, shaving years off of trial and error, and giving you the confidence to deliver an outstanding experience every time.
You will apply the frameworks to a real event you are creating or re-designing, to bring the Template to life and help the learning stick. Plus, we’ll help you get the work done so that after our 4-week design sprint, you will have completed a high-level outline of your whole event, and you’ll be ready to hit the ground running!
In our remote/hybrid work landscape, engagement and retention are more important than ever. Don’t leave your teams or clients bored and unengaged. Our methodology allows you to design experiences to quickly create a riveted, engaged, and connected audience—
say goodbye to boring!
Our strategic design process will help you deliver profound transformation and genuine learning.

We have limited financial assistance available for those from under represented communities and non-profit leaders. Please reach out to connect@scalingintimacy.com to discuss available options!
Will this approach only for big groups?
The frameworks and principles shared in this training can work for any size group, big or small. Some of the ice-breakers and games that we will play are more suited for medium to large size groups, but these can also be modified to suit the size of your group.
Will there be time to actually design my event during the training?
Yes! After understanding the theory behind this approach, we will dive into actually applying it to a specific event of your choosing. You will have a chance to ideate and get feedback from your peers in small group, and you will leave with the most significant pieces of your curriculum already planned.
What kinds of groups and events are the best fit for this training?
This methodology can apply to any kind of facilitated experience virtual or in-person. So it’s not ideal for an experience that has no structure like a cocktail party or a casual picnic. It works especially well for any kind of learning experience like a workshop, training or conference. We’ve had people design all kinds of events using this methodology from holistic wellness retreats to corporate onboarding programs, to team building workshops, to quarterly all-hands meetings.
