Impello is a professional development and educational strategy startup that is committed to creating self-driven growth and learning experiences. My co-founder, Bevis, and I are lifelong learners who are inspired to guide the professional and personal growth of individuals across their academic and business pursuits.I created our 'Self Design Studio' product to guide employee professional development in the diverse and changing workplace. Self Design Studio is based on an Integral Education model, which is an adaptive, integrated learning approach to cultivate individual and organizational sense of self and purpose. In contrast to traditional education and training, which can be siloed and narrowly focused, Impello educates the whole person -- the mind, the hands, and the heart -- in our supportive learning community and in connection to the complex world we live in.Please check us out at impello.io! We are currently offering a semester-long Self Design Studio course through our academic development partner, Rochester Institute of Technology. You can also find month-long Self Design Studio courses and embedded Impello professional development programs with our startup and corporate partners!
