Need a topic that is not here? and it goes on the roadmap. New topics are built from what companies ask for.
Being early
The client list is short. That is worth something to you.
Thrive is new. The programs are not. The same people have run Fundamentals of Leading People for organizations like John Ball Zoo for three years. What is new is the function built around them, and while the list of companies on it is short, being on it buys four things it will not buy later.
None of them is a promise about your results. Nobody can promise you a better manager in four weeks. These are the things we control, which is why we will put them in writing.
- 01
The price is published, not quoted.
Every band is on the pricing page and the same three numbers are what checkout charges. Nobody is quoted a different figure for arriving early or late, and there is no discount to negotiate for, because there is no list price to discount from.
- 02
You set the build order.
Name a course or a live topic we do not have. The library is one hundred thirty-six courses today and the next ones are chosen from what clients ask for, in the order they ask. What gets built for you goes into the library for every company that comes after.
- 03
The founder is in the room.
Scoping, your first cohort, and the call on what gets built next happen with the person who designed the programs. That holds while the client list is short, which is the whole reason to be on it early.
- 04
What is missing is written down.
Scheduled reminders are not built. Coach Taylor answers when a person asks, and nothing chases them yet. Reminders are on the roadmap. A company that tells you what is missing before you pay is worth believing about the rest.
- What a month and a year actually bill, and what happens if you stop, is written out on the terms page in the same plain language as this.
Who teaches
Held the job. Not studied it.
Content is the easy part to buy. A dozen vendors will sell you a library this afternoon. What none of them sells is the person who has already done the job, live, for two hours, watching your people practice it.
Every Thrive session is led by someone who has done the work they are teaching: run a shift, carried a quota, managed a team through a change, sat across from the person who needed the hard conversation. They bring the real version of the problem into the room, and the practice is done on your people’s actual work, not on a case study.
Sessions are small enough that a facilitator can watch each person practice and coach the delivery. Between sessions, Coach Taylor keeps the thread going.

Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions
Questions people ask before they call.
How do Thrive live workshops work?
Each topic runs as a live two-hour virtual session with up to 25 seats, led by a facilitator who has held the role. Sessions run at 3:00 PM Eastern on Microsoft Teams, and every scheduled session has its meeting already created; the link reaches you on registration.
Are the workshops included in the platform price?
Yes. Every employee at a company on the Thrive platform can attend any live workshop. There is no per-seat charge; the platform is a flat price per organization.
What is the difference between a workshop and a program?
A workshop is one live session on one skill. A program is several weeks of sessions, applied work, coaching, and a cohort, built to change how someone does a whole job. Fundamentals of Leading People is a program; Difficult Conversations is a workshop inside it and also runs on its own.
Can we book a private session for our own team?
Yes. Any topic can run as a private cohort for one company, scheduled around your shifts. Tell ARIA the topic, the number of people, and the window and the team will come back with dates.
How far ahead are sessions scheduled?
Every topic runs once a month. The dates on the schedule above are read from the platform calendar as the page loads rather than typed into this site, so what you see is what is actually bookable today and nothing here can outlive it. If the date you need is not on it, ask ARIA to hold seats and you will be told when it is set.
