Two people, three opinions. Wherever efforts are combined, conflict follows.
We’ll explore lessons in conflict resolution from acrobats, diplomats, and high-stakes negotiators. Follow first- and third-person stories through to deep instruction on navigating team conflict, addressing both fundamental frameworks and proprietary techniques developed over a lifetime of work on high-conflict creative teams.

Creative professionals can’t afford to “feel stuck” or “get bored.” They need to innovate full time, on a deadline.
This is a tour through continental philosophy, avant-garde French theater, pedagogical principles, and two decades of personal experience in arts and entertainment—from acting, to writing, to music, dance, acrobatics, and beyond. We’ll investigate why work that seemed exciting when it began eventually loses our interest, and how we can rekindle that interest by pursuing out-of-the-box innovations.

From Charles Darwin to Steve Jobs to General Patreus. Einstein, Tchaikovsky. Virginia Woolf, and Daniel Kahneman. Leaders of business, art, and science have long relied on motion to fuel insight.
We’ll take a journey through science, history, media, philosophy, and personal experiences, exploring how walking and hiking became the motors of universe-denting innovation, how that motor is breaking in the 21st century, and what we can do about it.

Aaron earned his master’s degree in creative collaboration from The University of the Arts, where he partnered with the Wharton School of Business to adapt corporate principles of leadership and organizational dynamics for creative teams. There, he taught graduate and undergraduate students while working with dancers, acrobats, musicians, and theater artists to build high-performing teams, break through creative blocks, and—his special focus—overcome high-intensity conflict.
Aaron previously led corporate thought leadership at Forbes. Outside of his coaching and consulting work, Aaron continues his life-long collaborations with artists, directing actors, performing on stage, composing for classical orchestras, and designing team-based interactive experiences.
