The Attention Economy is thriving at our expense.

Compulsive attention-seeking has become normalized and commoditized. The hit of short-term validation impinges long-term choice and is as true of an expectant social media scroller, as it is an expectant financial analyst, or an expectant CEO.

The HITMXE® method creates lasting change through focus on enjoying the process.

  • Helps teams take action through diagnosis of a presenting problem causing growing pain.

  • Creates team headspace through targeted pain relief having diagnosed the presenting problem.

  • Invigorates teams to go beyond problems, to ideate and formulate new positive practices.

  • Enthuses teams to own and sustain growth by embracing the changing environment.
