This Changes That. Humans are remarkably strange creatures. Most of us design products and lead teams as if they're not. In the 3 hour **Fun With Humans** session, you'll see the actual cognitive bugs and behavioral patterns driving everything. Entertaining, unsettling, and enormously useful.

Three hours. A completely new way of seeing the people around you — and yourself. ### Cognitive Deconstruction The mind-boggling ways humans actually process information — and where those processes consistently fail us. You'll see the cognitive architecture that underlies every decision, perception, and belief, including the ones you'd swear are perfectly rational. ### Behavioral Insight The root causes of 'strange' human behavior — why people do what they do, even when it makes no apparent sense. You'll develop a framework for accounting for these behaviors in how you design, plan, and lead, rather than being continually surprised by them. ### Self-Awareness A shocking level of clarity about your own perceptions, biases, and decision-making triggers. This is the part most people find most uncomfortable — and most useful. You'll see yourself more accurately than you probably have before. ### Designing for Desirability How to apply what you now know about human nature to create products, services, and experiences that align with how people actually function — not the rational, logical version of a person that doesn't exist. ### Empathy as a Technical Skill A more sophisticated, evidence-based approach to understanding others — one that moves beyond 'put yourself in their shoes' to the actual cognitive and social mechanisms that drive behavior. This changes how you collaborate and how you lead. MetaSkills developed Critical Thinking Scientific Thinking Design Ready to see humans the way they actually are? Book your seat.

Is this based on personality frameworks like MBTI or DiSC? No. Fun with Humans draws on cognitive science, social biology, and behavioral research — not personality typologies. This is about how all humans work, not how your 'type' works. The findings apply regardless of role, personality, or background. How is this different from a soft skills or communication training? It isn't one. This session doesn't cover communication styles, conflict resolution frameworks, or team dynamics models. It goes deeper — into the cognitive and behavioural mechanics that sit underneath all of those conversations. Think of it as the foundation that makes soft skills training actually make sense. What do you mean when you mention MetaSkills? What are they, and how will they help me? Tools don't solve problems. People do. Our ability to use MetaSkills — critical thinking, systems thinking, creative thinking, computational thinking, design, and collaboration — are timeless competencies central to your future success. These aren't just career skills; they have impact across every area of your life. Every InceptionU program is built around developing these alongside the technical content. That's what makes the learning stick. Can I register as a team, or book a private session for my organization? Yes. Group rates apply for five or more seats. If you're looking to run this as a private session for your team, reach out and we'll put together a proposal tailored to your organization's needs and schedule. Is this session available online or virtually? Fun with Humans is currently offered in-person only. Show 2 more questions Show fewer questions What is your cancellation policy? If you cancel 10 or more days before the program start date, you'll receive a full refund. Cancellations between 10 days and 24 hours before the start date can be transferred to a future cohort at no additional cost. For cancellations within 24 hours of the start date, we're not able to process a refund or transfer — but reach out anyway and we'll see what we can do. Is InceptionU an accredited institution? Fortunately, we are not. That gives us the freedom to be agile and adaptable as technology and industries evolve. We work closely with industry partners to design programming that aligns with real workforce needs — not what was relevant five years ago.

Next Step ## September 22nd — One Session to See Every Human Differently. In three hours, you'll see yourself and everyone around you with a completely different set of eyes. You will not be able to unsee it. That turns out to be very useful.
