our story.
We are living in a time of great uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change. In this environment, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, lonely, or unsure about where you’re headed and how to take your next steps forward.
​
We started Next Move in response to these very feelings. As we supported one another—and others—we realized there is a simple but powerful process that helps people move from a state of unknowing and feeling stuck to a place of clarity and action.
​
Next Move programs, coaching, publications, and community are designed to support people in learning and using this process in real life. The method has been used successfully by individuals and small groups, within universities and organizations, and by people of all ages. Regardless of what you’re navigating, Next Move helps you feel supported, empowered, and able to move forward on goals that matter to you.
​
Having witnessed and experienced the many ways people can be held back by circumstance, access, or opportunity, we designed the Next Move Method to bring proven reflective and action-based practices to many more people—through a scalable, affordable approach that supports clarity, confidence, and forward momentum.

The Next Move Method is grounded in three well-established learning models: Action Inquiry, Peer-Based Learning, and the Creative Process. Each has deep roots in philosophical traditions and has continued to evolve through the work of scholars, artists, and practitioners across psychology, neuroscience, education, organizational development, and leadership studies.
​
The Method consists of four steps, practiced as a continuous cycle, as shown in the diagram below.

As you build your capacity to use this simple yet powerful process—and cycle through it regularly, in connection with others—you begin to:
​
-
Deepen your ability to connect with yourself and others, building a strong network of personal and professional support
-
Increase self-awareness of your values, interests, strengths, and constraints, and clarify what’s needed to move forward
-
Generate new pathways and become more comfortable with experimentation as you work toward personal, career, and life goals
-
Strengthen verbal and nonverbal communication skills to engage more openly and honestly with others
-
Bring curiosity and compassion to reflection, gaining deeper insight into your actions and patterns
​
In practice, the Next Move Method is learned and applied through a structured weekly rhythm that includes small-group meet-ups, short concept videos, guided activities, and weekly micro-moves supported by simple text-based group prompts. Over time, you develop capabilities you can return to again and again—helping you get clear, activate support, and move forward with agency as you navigate current and future life transitions.
