The Narrative Intelligence Lab for Leaders

A live environment for testing Narrative Intelligence in practice.

A six-week, research-informed cohort for leaders who want to apply emerging Narrative Intelligence tools and practices to a real question in how they decide, relate, and lead.

Oct 15 – Nov 19, 2026 · Thursdays, 10:00 am MT · Six people only · Enrollment open

Why the Lab

Understanding a story is not the same as becoming free to choose within it.

Leaders make consequential decisions inside narratives they rarely examine—about themselves, their organizations, and what is possible. We can recognize a pattern and still repeat it. We can understand where a belief came from and still organize our decisions around it.

The Lab creates time, structure, language, and practice for working with narratives more consciously. You will learn the framework while applying it to something real in your leadership—not as theory detached from your work.

This is not storytelling training, positive thinking, or a mandate to replace every difficult story with an optimistic one. It is leadership development built around the way leaders actually interpret and decide.

The six-week structure

Learn the framework. Practice the capacities. Work with a question that matters.

01

Orientation

The stories shaping how you see

Establish a working definition of Narrative Intelligence, identify a live question, and begin noticing the narratives already influencing it.

02

SEE

Recognition

Make the narrative visible. Practice creating space between a story and the person experiencing it, without rushing to replace or correct it.

03

SORT

Discernment

Separate observable facts from assumptions, interpretations, inheritance, and projection. Learn to ask what is true—and how you know.

04

EXPAND

Flexibility

Generate other plausible meanings and perspectives. Build the capacity to stay open without becoming vague, passive, or ungrounded.

05

CHOOSE

Agency

Locate meaningful choice inside real constraints. Decide which interpretation and response you are willing to stand behind—as a leader and in the decisions in front of you.

06

LIVE

Enactment + integration

Translate insight into behavior, decisions, relationships, and leadership practice. Build a plan for continuing the work after the Lab.

What you will practice

A more conscious relationship with narrative.

  • Notice a narrative before it hardens into certainty
  • Distinguish evidence from interpretation
  • Hold more than one plausible meaning
  • Find choice without denying real constraints
  • Translate a chosen response into action
  • Use the five capacities repeatedly—not as a one-time process

Intensive, Advisory, or Lab?

You want to develop the capacity itself

The Narrative Intelligence Lab

The Lab is kept intentionally small so every leader works with their own live question throughout the six weeks.

Secure your place
No other guide has seen me like Paige. No space has held me like this one. She met me where I am — with safety, depth, and zero pretense. The structure she's built doesn't force change. It invites it. It makes room for each of us to transform — independently, but together. This isn't surface-level. This is healing.
