Over 25 coaches and artists participated in three days of ideation in Las
Vegas in December, 2017
The deep expertise of the participants allowed us to go two steps

Ideating in small groups yielded 100 human performance inspirations
over the course of the three days
Participants pitched their inspirations to the broader group
