In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
We live in times that make it easy for us to believe that we must achieve perfect alignment, with each element working together seamlessly. However, this perspective restricts everyone involved to merely the sum of their individual contributions.
We provide an immersive experience of **Gestalt**, where connections between parts create something greater than the sum of the parts.
We don’t access a Gestalt by following instructions. We achieve this level of connection by observing and copying those in the Gestalt we wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that we embody the Gestalt. It is easier to access a Gestalt when someone is shaping it for us.
HOW TO SHAPE A GESTALT - think Steph Curry and Antoine Dupont
1. Clarity. Ensure that the next move is apparent to everyone
2. Patience. Wait to see how everyone reacts
3. A Sense of Calmness. If the chosen move can’t be executed, stay calm, and allow another move of clarity to unfold.

About the event
"The online social world is the biggest factor stopping us from developing the relational skills to enhance team chemistry."
In 1994, I was among the first to explore which aspects of face-to-face communication could be transitioned online. Upon discovering that these are all social interactions that can be measured, I redirected my focus toward training skills of relationships of connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured. Coincidentally, these skills correspond with those necessary for fostering team chemistry in sports: the ability to enhance the intangible relational bonds between players.
