Structure
-
Sapient Dojo is for founders and executives who want to discover their behavioral blindspots and transcend their limiting interpersonal patterns.
Each cohort includes 6-8 individuals curated to include no more than one person from each company and no competitors to ensure participants can be radically transparent with one another.

The Sapient Dojo structure is inspired by Authentic Communication Group, a modality that Kan has facilitated that draws from T-Group, Nonviolent Communication, Parts Work, and JEDI. On top of that modality, Kan adds a variety of processes designed to foster greater self-awareness and connection among participants.
T-Group is a mode of interpersonal learning laboratory that has existed since the 1940s to enhance leadership in workplaces. Stanford Graduate School of Business offers a class based on T-group which has been its most popular class for decades.
Nonviolent Communication is a way of being, thinking, and communicating that radically enhances human connection.
Parts Work is a body of modalities that helps people create more inner harmony by distinguishing the voices of different personalities in their minds.
JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) is a lens by which we focus on our identities, how they inform our experience or reality, and how to create a more just world informed by those differences.

The Leadership Dojo Program runs for 6 months. We start with an in-person weekend retreat to gel as a group. The weekend retreat venue will be determined based on the location of participants. It will run from Friday 12pm to Sunday 3pm.
After the in person retreat, we meet online via Zoom twice a month for 2 hours to continue deepening the work we began at the retreat.
Once a month, participants will also meet 1-on-1 via Zoom with Kan for individual coaching to enhance their learning.
All participants are expected to prioritize attending all sessions absent extenuating circumstances. The specific dates and times will be agreed upon by the cohort.
-
Tuition for the 6-month program is $8,000. Payment plans are possible upon request.
This fee includes lodging and meals for the in person weekend but does not include travel expenses.
Many participants have their companies pay for the program out of professional development budgets.
