Executive Director @ Brooks Stevens • MBA Adjunct Faculty @ The University of Denver • Creator of Awesome Points App, Work With Feelings LLC, Agile Data Science LLC.These commitments are different representations of fostering deep connection and a call for us to recognize the overwhelming opportunity to be here, notice, experience, and express.At Brooks Stevens I get to be an entrepreneur every day. In discovering, designing, developing, and deploying new-to-world products, we create moments in peoples’ lives that inspire gratitude, joy, and wonder. It’s a big idea, a bigger privilege, and we sum it up by saying “Design Matters.” Our namesake was a legendary industrial designer, contributing some of the most iconic designs in American history – nearly 50 vehicles, thousands of consumer products, and brand identities that are powerfully relevant 70 years later.At the University of Denver, I teach leadership and development through neuroscience and emotional intelligence. In small cohorts, I have the privilege of facilitating transformative introspection and self-discovery for those who are ready to explore (and drop!) self-limiting narratives and behaviors. In doing so, these talented leaders become prepared to notice, facilitate, and celebrate development of others.The Awesome Points App mends strained relationships between parents and children by creating positive structure, language, and behavior patterns that build trust and connection in small, safe steps. It trains kids to choose and recognize awesome behaviors (“I did that!”) and it trains parents to PAY ATTENTION and NOTICE those awesome behaviors (“You did that!”). Being a parent is really, really hard. We are not our best, often. Awesome Points helps.Work With Feelings is an organization I formed to live my leadership values. I have an absurd confidence that feelings belong at work… because they’re already there. Denying that feelings exist, drive decisions, and shape interactions every moment of the day is short-sighted at best. Long-term muting of this natural part of our existence perpetuates harm and suffering, preventing actual growth and development for individuals, teams, and organizations.If you made it this far and are an actual human, thank you. If I can help you or someone you know, please reach out.I would love help connecting with Product, Design, and UX leaders in the Denver area. I would also love for you to try Awesome Points if you’re a parent with kids at home.Book FREE 15min Intro: https://calend.ly/chat-with-mathias/intro-callMore me: https://mathiasgran.com
