Here’s what others have said…

The Big Ideas Lab helped me step into the work I was put on this Earth to do.

It has been one year since the Lab, and I have delivered 6 keynotes and have taught 8 workshops, both in person and virtually. Not only that, but I have gotten to serve as a disability inclusion consultant with eleven different organizations.

The B.I.L. equipped me with a skillset of tools to activate my WHY. I no longer wait on anyone to give me permission to make change… I now participate in change-making work daily.

In the month after BIL, I delivered an interactive keynote on my idea. A year later, that idea has turned into a business with an awesome team, new collaborators, and multiple streams of income. None of this would be made possible without the repeatable and transferrable frameworks I learned here.

In a time full of transition, I owe every successful pivot to this experience. BIL is the gift that keeps on giving. It will equip you with the tools to actualize your dreams and empower you with a belief in yourself that is truly invaluable.

I can attest that this workshop is truly transformational. Since taking it I’ve shipped two brand new keynotes, applied to TEDx, turned one of my keynotes into an interactive workshop, created and shipped four other new interactive workshops, am currently in the process of developing five more, and am now expanding my coaching business from teaching voice lessons to artists to helping corporate America fight zoom & WFH fatigue.

Shipping my BIG IDEA after taking the Lab has helped me expand my network and promote my mission in podcast chats, Facebook Live conversations, and panel discussions. I’ve shown up more consistently and more bravely with my blog, and I am more confident in spruiking my work to potential collaborators.

Pete and Jen make the workshop fun, constructive, efficient, energetic, creative, and collaborative. I would 100% take the workshop again

“The world needs what you have to give”. This is an affirmation Jen encourages and The Big Ideas Lab takes it from affirmation to action.

The lab’s digestible and purpose rooted framework is unmatched. It is through this framework, working one-on-one with Jen and Pete, and supporting others developing ideas right alongside me that my idea grew from a thought to a wealth of possibility.

Since the lab, I have continued to use the framework to develop a keynote, several workshops, a whole new business offering, a blog, several collaborative projects, and a podcast.

Kobi Yamada says in his book, What Do You Do With An Idea?, “and then I realized what you do with an idea...you change the world”. Thank goodness Jen and Pete used their big idea to help others develop their big ideas so that together we can change the world. How meta!

“If you have a change making idea that you want to share with the world via a keynote or a workshop, there’s no one better to teach you the skills you need than the Queen of Storytelling, Jen Waldman, and the King of Noodling, Peter Shepherd.

Participating in this lab gave me tools and frameworks that have helped me come up with workshops on a variety of topics with intention and ease. You will leave this class with clarity around your idea, the tools you need to build a keynote or a workshop, and the inspiration you need to share your ideas with the world.
