Learn the Science of Connection
Become more socially healthy in just six weeks
We deliver relational fitness training programs where you’ll build science-supported skills to connect with people, with practice, feedback and 1:1 coaching to create the meaningful relationships you’ve always wanted—professional, personal and romantic.
Do you want better relationships but aren’t sure where to start?
Do you wish you had clear protocols for improving your connection to others?
Do you want to clear frameworks to create trust, navigate conflict, and build authenticity in your personal and professional relationships?
From past participants
“This course should be taught in schools and to practically every human.”
“A safe place to try out the tactics immediately.”
“Scientifically, purposefully improving your relationships is really time-effective, low-hanging fruit.”
“The lessons can be applied to real-world interactions, which feels a lot more doable and natural.”

Meet your facilitator
Hi 👋 I'm Phil.
I’ve managed 40+ people across roles in community, customer success, and strategy, and led team-building and connection workshops worldwide and I am SO EXCITED about this online coaching program on Relational Fitness. It draws from science, executive coaching, b-school programs at Stanford and Harvard, leadership development at McKinsey, and other innovative practices like authentic relating. My journey began with a personal setback—a missed promotion due to difficult workplace relationships. This inspired me to focus on my interpersonal skills, leading to deeper connections in every aspect of my life including with close friends and family. Intentionally improving relationships has come to be my biggest passion in life. This program distills years of research and personal growth into a program designed to help you build meaningful relationships.
