The PIVOT Lab founding cohort begins September 10. Applications close September 1.
Four free ways to begin. Each one is genuinely useful on its own.
All of them connect to the deeper work when you're ready.
Five days · Email
PIVOT
Field Notes
A free five-day email inquiry for people who sense they're at a threshold. One question arrives each day. You sit with it. No pitch. The best first step for most people.
Community · Ongoing
PIVOT
Commons
A free community for people navigating the same terrain. Conversations, reflections, occasional live sessions. Drop in when you're ready.
Podcast · Ongoing
PIVOT Dialogues Podcast
Deep conversations with pioneers navigating genuinely new terrain. The fastest way to hear where this work goes and what it sounds like in practice.
Newsletter· Ongoing
PIVOT
Newsletter
Biweekly writing from inside the work. One idea at a time, followed somewhere worth going. For those who want to go deeper without signing up for anything yet.
A Focused 1:1 Session
Sometimes one conversation is enough to reorient.
​
A single focused session with Dave—to clarify where you are, what's actually happening, and the most useful next step.
For those who are ready to go the distance.

The Pivot Lab is the first structured entry into building real navigational capacity. Small group. Four sessions across six weeks. Each session develops one of the core Pivot capabilities — in practice, not in theory.

There's no single right way into this work.
​
Some people begin with Field Notes and find their way to deeper work over months. Others arrive already knowing what they need.
​
What follows is organized by depth of engagement—not by type of service. Begin wherever you are.
Welcome to
Imaginal Intelligence
The intelligence that takes you far beyond the edges of logic
Here's what I've learned after decades in intelligence work, Fortune 500 consulting, and deep consciousness exploration: There's an intelligence beyond logic that most accomplished leaders never access. You've mastered analytical thinking. You've developed emotional intelligence. But there's a third intelligence—what I call imaginal intelligence—that could fundamentally change how you navigate the complexity we're all facing.
INDIVIDUAL · 3 - 9 MONTHS
1:1 Coaching Program
Individual work tailored entirely to where you are. Not a program — a sustained developmental relationship. For people who know they need direct, ongoing work with Dave rather than a group container.
​
Three to nine months. Biweekly sessions. Sliding scale available for the right fit.
GROUP · SIX MONTHS RETREAT · ONGOING
Tier 1 — The Pivot Journey
A six-month immersive. A three-day in-person intensive followed by six months of monthly group calls and triad partnerships. For those ready to fundamentally shift how they navigate.
Six participants. In-person in Europe or the US. Application required.
START HERE
No commitment required.
Some people arrive at the edge of what rational frameworks can explain — and find they're drawn toward something else. Dreamwork. Expanded states. A third intelligence that operates beyond logic.
​
The Imaginal is a distinct offering, available alongside or independent of the other work. It's not the next step up from the Lab. It's a different kind of entry — for a specific kind of person at a specific kind of threshold.
If it's calling to you, there's probably a reason.
A DIFFERENT DOORWAY
The Imaginal
-
Dreamwork — active dialogue with dream imagery as navigational intelligence
-
Expanded states integration — translating non-ordinary experience into sustained capacity
-
Preparation and intention-setting before any expanded states work
-
On going integration coaching after
-
Psychedelic-assisted work conducted legally, with full medical screening
A twelve-month senior executive program — Tier 2 — is available for those who want to go further after completing the Pivot Journey, or who arrive with significant prior development work.
Details on request.
ALL THE WAY IN -
SERIOUS DEPTH
Extended individual work, or a six-month immersive journey. Both require genuine commitment. Both go somewhere the Lab and free offerings don't reach.
