Seth's Blog : A new way to move forward

A new way to move forward

Transformation is possible. It's possible to become a doctor, a skilled musician, a designer of beautiful objects. it's possible to be transformed into the kind of person who leads, who connects, who sees the world as it is. And it's possible to become significantly better at making change happen.

Today, I'm launching the altMBA, a real-time, month-long intensive program. This is a small-group process that works online, designed to help people move from here to there—to stand up and become the leaders and the game changers they want to be.

I've spent the last six months designing this program and building the team that will organize it. My goal hasn't varied: to help people leap, to make change that matters in themselves and those around them. Along the way, I discovered that the magic to creating this change is in peer-to-peer connection as well as hands-on projects. You will remember (and be changed by) your fellow students.

DETAILS: The altMBA is difficult, time-consuming and expensive ($3,000). It's personal. The time and passion you put into it are truly scarce resources. Only 100 people will be admitted to a section, and the first section begins in June. Students are admitted by rolling admissions (first-come, first-served) and applications for the first session are due by May 17th.

You can read the extensive FAQs here, and find the application link on the FAQ as well.

The plan is that you will work harder than you've previously worked online. In return, you'll find a significant amount of support, appropriate tools and most of all, work that matters.

GROUPS: The focus of the program is on group work, leveraging the power of your peers in order to extend yourself, both by learning from and teaching others. We're building a cohort of people who will challenge each other to go further than they ever expected. Not merely during the course of the month, but for decades to come. The expectation is that you will spend far more time working with your fellow students than you will consuming the public online content.

SCALE: We're going to severely limit our growth--the goal isn't to be big, it's to change things. Every section of one hundred will have several dedicated coaches. You will be seen and recognized and supported.

Yes, the altMBA is not for everyone, but it might be for you. And if you know someone who might benefit, I hope you'll share this with them.
