Develop their 10 — and the capacity to keep showing up that way
It’s not enough to help people become better leaders, communicators, decision-makers, and thinkers if pressure knocks them away from those capabilities when they matter most. And wellbeing on its own isn’t the finish line.
A calm and steady 7 is still a 7.
Lyceum develops the whole person: the judgment, self-awareness, leadership capabilities, and practical skills that improve what someone’s best looks like — and the mental and emotional capacity to keep showing up that way when work and life get hard. The goal isn’t simply to feel better or know more. It’s to help people show up at their personal 10 — and build performance that doesn’t depend on everything going according to plan.
A complete way to invest in more of your people — at a lower cost, with minimal internal lift
Lyceum makes meaningful, highly personal development available to more people — without the price tag of individualized development or the internal burden of building and managing another program.
The experience is personal, scalable, and fully facilitated — giving more of your people the opportunity to develop and consistently show up at their personal 10.
When more of your people show up at their 10, they create a ripple effect across your organization
Sound judgment. Leadership with confidence and presence. Clear decisions under pressure. Performance that holds up when conditions get hard. Resilience. Less burnout.
10 becomes a shared language.
When people develop together, they build trust, connection, mutual understanding, and a common way to talk about their decisions, behaviour, how they want to show up with one another, and what it means to show up at their 10 together. That carries into teams, conversations, decisions, and culture — strengthening morale and engagement and helping people work across roles, personalities, experiences, and generations.

"It's been a game changer for our organization."
"Lyceum gives companies something they don’t usually have. There are only so many ways to invest in and grow talented people — compensation, titles, increased scope, executive coaching.
Lyceum is an investment not only in what someone produces at work, but in who they are becoming. That matters. When an organization invests in you that way, you feel valued. And when people are more confident, self-aware, resilient, creative, and inspired, that inevitably carries into how they lead and perform.
If you genuinely value the growth of your people, Lyceum is an incredibly powerful lever to have."
Diane Ring, Senior Director of Sales
"Recently, I went through an incredibly demanding stretch — growing the business, onboarding employees and clients, being a husband and dad, and training competitively. In the past, my performance would have suffered. This time, it didn’t dip. It actually got better.
It has influenced the kind of leader I want to be as well. I’m intentionally building a culture where people trust one another, can have uncomfortable conversations, listen to different perspectives, and engage in healthy debate — the same kind of environment I’ve experienced in Lyceum.
If you want your people to perform at a high level without losing themselves when things get hard, this work is incredibly valuable. Why settle for a team that’s good if you can help them become great?"
Andre Bolotenko, Managing Director
"We originally brought Lyceum into our organization because we were looking for something more proactive… Lyceum goes well beyond preventing burnout. It develops people. It helps them become more resilient, self-aware and deliberate; communicate and navigate interpersonal challenges more effectively; make better decisions; and perform at a higher level. By bringing them all together, we've created a much higher-performing environment.
I’ve worked in HR for about 25 years and have been exposed to countless wellness programs, EAPs, courses, webinars, training programs and other forms of development. Lyceum is different because it brings so much of what people need together.
To me, offering Lyceum within an organization is a no-brainer."
Jennifer Hall, VP of Human Resources
Structured workout programs. We design and lead them. Your people show up and train.
Lyceum is built around live, weekly mental workouts — one hour each week, online, with a trainer and their Lyceum cohort. Each workout is part of a structured program, so your people don’t have to figure out what to work on or how to progress. They show up and train.
The program is organized into four 12-week phases. Everyone begins with Phase 1, where they start putting Lyceum into practice: making more of their decisions at their 10, building practical resilience, strengthening how they communicate and navigate relationships, taking greater ownership, and improving their ability to manage stress and pressure without burning out.
From there, Phases 2, 3, and 4 introduce new concepts, tools, and areas of focus while continuing to build on what they’ve already developed — so they keep improving how they lead, perform, and live.
Bring Lyceum to a team — or across your organization
Organizations can bring Lyceum to their people through private cohorts or place individuals or teams into a Lyceum cohort alongside leaders and high performers from other organizations. There’s no internal curriculum to build, managers to train, or program for your team to facilitate. You choose the people you want to invest in, and Lyceum delivers the experience.
DEVELOPMENT THAT HOLDS UP IN REAL LIFE
What 10 actually looks like when work and life get hard
"Over the past year, life tested that growth in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. Fresh into a promotion and leading a new team at work, and with two young kids at home, my husband underwent back surgery. A few days later, my dad had a major heart attack — he was in a coma for eight days and spent three weeks in the ICU. My plate was already full, now it was overflowing.
Through all of it though, I felt strong. I relied on the routines and tools I built through Lyceum to stay steady, clear-headed, and present when it mattered most. I was still making critical decisions and supporting both our family and my team through an incredibly emotional time.
I didn't need to take time off work and my performance never dipped.
Lyceum has genuinely changed my life. Because of it, I am a stronger — and happier — spouse, mother, friend, employee, and leader."

FAQ
When is this not the right fit?
Lyceum is not therapy or counseling for people experiencing a mental health crisis or who may require traditional approaches or reactive care. We're also not for organizations or individuals looking for a quick-fix (which doesn't work) a 'box-check', or who only care about performance but not about their people's well-being, personal potential, and quality of life at work and at home. And if you're looking for something dry, boring, or academic, that's just not us – sorry if that's what you were looking for.
Will my team be comfortable being in the same group together?
Remember, this isn’t a therapy session. We’re not digging into the past or asking people to talk about their personal struggles. While we're constantly improving our mental health, we actually don't talk that much about mental health. This is about growth and becoming the best versions of ourselves together. We’re looking forward, not backward, and the safe, inclusive, positive environment we create – with no judgment – is something people crave. Not only will your people feel comfortable, they'll build the trust and mutual respect that make thriving teams thrive. They’ll likely contribute and grow sooner than you’d think (you may even be surprised by who contributes too).
Can a leader and report be in the same group together?
Absolutely. In fact, we recommend it. There are no labels or titles in Lyceum. It’s an inclusive space building genuine trust, understanding, and mutual respect for each other – not just as coworkers, as human beings. Leaders and teammates who train together thrive together.
How many people in a group / cohort?
Up to 25 people in each session/cohort make for a great workout experience.
What if I/they don’t want to talk about personal stuff?
Nobody's ever pushed to share anything. If they want to contribute to the conversation, they raise their hand and share whatever they're comfortable sharing. If they just want to listen instead, no problem. Again, this is not a therapy session. We’re not diagnosing or managing crisis, and nobody will ever be expected to discuss anything they aren’t comfortable discussing. Our proactive (not reactive) approach means we're always looking forward, not backwards. No judgment, just growth.
Do we need to be on the same team?
While Lyceum connects teams and builds trust in a remarkable way, many organizations prefer leaders, managers, and high-performers from across the organization (different teams/departments) growing and connecting together. Whether cohorts are for specific levels (i.e. all directors, all Sr. managers, all VPs, etc.), across levels, or joining cohorts with high-performers from other organizations, Lyceum is a great fit for any forward-thinking organization who truly values their people's well-being, culture, performance, and authentic growth.
What if someone’s away or misses a class?
While we suggest prioritizing attendance each week, we also know life happens. After each workout we send an email with key concepts and integration exercises people can do on their own. We also share a short video summarizing the workout (and catching up if need be), and another one to start the week, so everyone’s ready to grow again next week.
We already have an EAP or internal development programs – how is this different?
Proactive wellness and reactive care are different approaches for different people. Reactive care for people in crisis – while important – is only relevant to a small percentage of your people’s situations, wants, and needs. Lyceum is for your growth-driven leaders and high-performers who need a modern, relevant solution designed to help them thrive. For development, while internal programs may gain some traction, many leaders we speak with admit they don't see the engagement or impact they're hoping for. Lyceum truly helps you move the needle for your people and organization.
