The Inner Adventure Mindset

A new framework for powering innovation and culture.

Many of the challenges we face today — uncertainty, volatility, accelerated change — are challenges we face on an adventure. When adventure hands us those challenges the intrinsic qualities that matter most — agility, trust, curiosity, presence, courage — are the same human-centric qualities sought after today, and the least likely to be automated.

The Inner Adventure Mindset helps leaders and teams overcome uncertainty, get unstuck, and create faster — by using the universal human pull toward adventure to power innovation and culture. At the heart of the framework are five adventure gateways to build the capabilities AI can't replicate:

Move & Reframe
Get Curious
Be Agile & Present
Build Trust
Enable Dynamic Teaming

The Inner Adventure Mindset Weekly

Each Sunday at ~7 you’ll learn more about one of the five gateways, an experiment or tool to test on yourself and with your team, and a curated insight from Barry.

    No spam. Just a weekly boost of innovation adventure. Sundays ~7pm.

    Anchored in neuroscience, and integrating the proven innovation tools of Blue Ocean Strategy, the Inner Adventure Mindset does what AI can’t through providing a human-centered approach that:

    • Accelerates Innovation
      • Diversifies your portfolio of experiments and
      • Increases iteration speed...

    • Builds Trust by allowing/elevating authenticity and autonomy
    • Enables Dynamic Teaming to strengthen agility and break leadership paralysis

    Break innovation paralysis in days, get unstuck, and (re)invent faster.
