From childhood, I’ve been captivated by those pushing human limits, leading me to pursue a PhD in wonder and human behavior.

Testimonials

Dr John Coleman’s Wonder Lab Workshop was an engaging, informative, and inclusive session. It is easy to assume wonder is something fluffy and impractical. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dr Coleman demonstrated the power of wonder to solve problems, build relationships, and inspire innovation, and included practical steps. 

Heidi Rolston (Senior Vice President, People and Culture at Bosa Properties)

One of my Executive Peer Mentoring Groups recently invited John to lead us through the Wonder Lab Workshop.  We were admittedly skeptical at first as “wonder” is not a word often thrown around in the business environment.  However, the wonder workshop was wonder-full.  Four hours absolutely flew by and we all left energized and inspired to bring more wonder back to our organizations. John’s wisdom, experience, grace and storytelling is captivating.  The models and exercises he moved us through created breakthroughs in thinking.  We literally could not stop talking about wonder for the remainder of our retreat. 

I highly recommend this workshop for leaders in organizations who are wanting to create breakthrough moments that will transform and elevate the trajectory of their business.

Sue Matheson (Partner and Co-Founder High-Impact Lab)

I was privileged to be able to participate in one of John’s Wonder Lab sessions. In a very personable, vulnerable and open environment I was astounded to find my mind opened to new possibilities that I was previously closed to.

John left me with some practical and user-friendly tools that I have no doubt will enrich my life.
