ACCELERATE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL BREAKTHROUGHS WITH DISRUPTIVE UNIVERSITY

I realize how much I've truly been playing more of a devil in my own mind, rather than an angel. I haven't been valuing myself, my dreams, or my goals - instead, I've continued to feed my mind with reasons why I'm invaluable, why my dreams are out of reach, why I'm not reaching my goals. I'm excited to do the work to get to a point where I am my biggest cheerleader - making the best version of myself that then pours over to be the best wife, friend, daughter, co-worker, etc. to those around me.

John Covey, 
Leadership Development Executive

How good it felt to be completely honest with myself with no judgment. Asking myself "why" I felt a certain way at least 5 times really is quite uncomfortable but it is such a good practice that I want to continue doing because it helped me get to the root cause of how I'm truly feeling about different things!

Taylor Saviano, SME

A renewed commitment to live my WHY. It is so easy to get caught up in all sorts of activities and lose the focus of progressing and developing around my WHY. This was a wonderful wakeup call for me.

Another area from module 1 that was very impactful is my honesty. Am I honest with myself, am I listening to my inner conscience that can guide me. I want that Authenticity on a consistent basis in my life. I am not living my best life without it and I am not as Authentic as I want to be.

Chad de Lisle, 
VP of Marketing

There is strength in this community at DU. I feel more focused on my why, because I’ve been able to spend the time identifying it to its core through the help of module 1. I am very hopeful with the help of this community and my level of commitment, we will be able to move forward.

I finally saw through the deception in my mind. I saw how I have long felt afraid to succeed. That I have used doubt to protect myself. That I would predict failure so that when failure arrived I could say, "SEE. I told you so." I finally see that in predicting failure, I manifested failure in my life. That I'm complicit in all of the areas of stagnation & decay which thwarted me in the past year.

I'm awake to this deceit now. And I'm watching for it.

Are you feeling lost or stuck in your life?

A COMMON STORY

WE WILL HELP YOU STOP PUTTING OFF TAKING ACTION AND MAKE REAL CHANGE.

Do you find yourself living and working outside your strengths and values?

Are you lacking vision and a deeper connection to your ‘why’?

Does something feel off, but you don’t know how to explain or change it?

Many people find themselves trapped in careers and relationships that seem robotic, devoid of fulfillment and authenticity. It’s a common story: You’re stuck. Life isn’t giving you a chance to truly engage with your passions or deeper meanings. Each day feels the same as the last and after all the repetitive patterns you’re finally ready to be authentic to YOU. 

WHAT DOES IT

WE HELP PEOPLE GET UNSTUCK

Honesty. That question was the one that hit hardest, and I think easily in the most common sense areas, I am an honest person. In other areas that I have yet to truly explore with myself, am I honest? Am I honest to who I am? Why or why not? What is the reason for that dishonesty or that discomfort? That was a huge wakeup call. I realize there are lots of difficult questions I need to explore.

Tiere Dow, Executive Assistant

Whatever I’m spending my time on will be much more enjoyable if I view it as an awesome experience that I will learn from rather than focusing on the outcome or “completing” whatever it happens to be at the time

Nolan Haycock, 
AE

After seeing people bravely share their difficulties, I feel motivated to continue striving forward despite life’s challenges. Additionally, it was a valuable exercise to remind myself of my reasons for pursuing my goals and to identify any obstacles preventing me from achieving them.

WHAT DO

Adam Haining, CTO

SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE COURSE

I have grown a lot over my career, which I am grateful for, and I realize I have not grown as much as I’m able. There are many things I’ve neglected professionally and I have so much more to offer. DU helps me to better plan and prioritize the various aspects of my career and professional growth.

Elizabeth Young, Account Manager

My biggest breakthrough from Disruptive University- I need to stop moving from one problem to the next in both professional and personal life. Spend the time planning and looking at the big picture to make sure I’m progressing on goals rather than getting stuck in the day to day activities.

Allie Oates, 
LCM Team Lead

I’m not living my life with the passion and sense of presence that life should be lived with. And not to be rude, but life simply isn’t as hard as I think it is. I have the space to do what I love. I have the space at work to work on the 20% that makes the 80%. I have the space to be charitable. My life is full of abundance and my scarcity mindset isn’t reality. DU has shown me that an authentic life is about the journey, not the destination.

Disruptive University empowers people to be authentic and experience transformative breakthroughs in their personal lives, careers and communities.

Jim Ferrell,

"You + We"

BESTSELLING AUTHOR | WITHII FOUNDING PARTNER

Jim shared that authenticity alone isn't enough—it's the space between two authentic individuals that creates. Using the metaphor of water (H₂O), he showed how meaningful connection is formed when different people stay true to themselves but come together to form something greater.

AUTHENTICITY WINS SUMMIT 2025

Carol introduced Energy Profiling, a tool to discover your true nature based on movement, not personality. Most people are conditioned away from their essence and reclaiming it brings ease, confidence, and alignment in life and business.

Carol Tuttle

"Unlocking Your True Nature"

BESTSELLING AUTHOR 

Matt brought laughter and depth as he broke down why most of our relationship struggles aren’t personal—they’re universal. Through humor, stories, and powerful truth bombs, he showed that what we really want in life (love, safety, belonging) is intangible—and it lives in “the space between” us. His message: fix that space, and you unlock authentic connection, at home and at work.

Dr. Matt Townsend

"The Space Between"

FOUNDER OF THE TOWNSEND RELATIONSHIP CENTER

READY FOR YOUR NEXT BREAKTHROUGH?

Presented by:

Teresa Baadsgaard

AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS AT HOME

In this hands-on workshop, Teresa showed how Carol Tuttle’s Energy Profiling can radically improve communication and connection in your closest relationships. Using dogs (yes, real dogs) to demonstrate energy types, she helped attendees recognize frustration not as failure—but as unmet values. Her takeaway? You don’t need to fix people—you need to understand how they move, love, and lead.

Jake Baadsgaard

AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS IN BUSINESS

In this workshop, Jake got real about the trap of chasing success by pretending to be someone else. He taught attendees how to use energy profiling and the Working Genius model to build businesses and teams that align with who they actually are—not who they think they should be. The result? More clarity, better collaboration, and a calendar that fuels your purpose.

Katey Connell

FINDING YOUR PERSONAL VISION

Katey lit the room up with truth and tools for anyone who feels stuck or uncertain. She showed how excuses and limiting beliefs quietly kill vision—and taught us how to replace them with bold action, rewired beliefs, and a renewed sense of purpose using the ikigai framework. Her mic-drop reminder: You’re not waiting for clarity. You’re waiting for courage.
