Welcome to Tracking Wonder.
Our vision: Our times are rife with rampant change and potential cynicism. In response, we offer research-based tools, training, coaching, and consulting to shift culture toward a more open, connected, and creative world.
Our mission: We equip mission-centered business owners, leaders, creatives, and other change-makers to leverage their best ideas, live their best life, and contribute to the greater good.
What do the great visionaries, creatives,
and scientists have in common?
They’ve kept alive an abiding sense of wonder.
Wonder isn’t easy to experience consistently today. In a culture that often rewards our ability to hustle, produce, and achieve, the space to dream can feel like a luxury we can’t afford.
Yet the steady stream of distractions in our modern world also leads to creative burnout, loss of focus, and misplaced over-working.
Wonder is the antidote to hustle culture, a balm that reconnects us to our deepest purpose and creative drive. By actively tracking experiences of wonder, we disrupt disbelief, biases, and monotony.
Based on 15+ years of research, application, and deliberate lived experience, I believe that re-engaging with our innate ability to wonder is the key to a better, fuller, more creative life.
It’s not just you.
Every big idea begets a series of challenges.
Bold ideas – whether starting a community initiative or starting up a business, up-leveling a team or up-leveling a life – can light us up with possibility. They also usually bring up doubt, uncertainty, and lots of unexpected surprises.
There’s likely a gap between the future you can envision and how to get there. The good news is you can navigate the challenges in refreshing ways.
Every day.
Tracking Wonder equips thoughtful business owners, leaders, creators, and professionals to advance their best ideas with less fret and more curiosity. We also elevate organizations and campuses. That’s what we do.
The art of living well is a quest for meaning, making, and wonder
