Choose agency! And get ready to discover stability amidst rapid change and gain the perspective, tools and support to not just survive, but thrive.
We invite you to shed the ‘should’ and live a healthier, more fulfilling life!

Experiments bring fun and incremental change to a life worth living.
The entry point to the DRIVEN Community (Lab) is D2W (DRIVEN 2 Wellness); 4 virtual workshops designed to enhance personal energy.
The (Lab) kicks off 2025 with Monthly Community Meetings and an array of Member Services. As our grassroots effort attracts like valued people, we will expand our offerings through Hubs (permanent offerings), Huddles (temporary offerings) and Lab Projects— the opportunity to impact other communities striving for resilience and enhanced energy!

What is the DRIVEN Community (Lab)?
The DRIVEN Community (Lab) begins as a grassroots effort to provide a virtual space for life-long learners to ‘meet’ and learn in community. We bring to a juncture the individual nature of ‘self help’ with the power of connection through a like-valued community.
Our aspiration is for this community to be co-created. We have created foundational WOWs (Ways of Working) and from there, anything is possible. The “Lab” is a place to experiment with different ideas, program topics and projects that align with our vision and mission.
As our membership grows, our “ExperiMentor” appetite will expand. Member created ‘hubs’ and ‘huddles’ will provide the opportunity to engage with interested and interesting people in one-off programs, long term projects and ongoing conversations to support the success of our community members.
The ‘suggested pre-requisite’ to the DRIVEN Community (Lab) is DRIVEN 2 Wellness (D2W), a 4-part virtual series to enhance Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual and Social well-being. The fashion with which we manage these “energy tanks” dictates our individual resilience, how we show up in the world, and how we integrate with others.
With D2W as a common language, our community is primed to grow and sustain “community resilience’ as we grow in numbers and offerings. And this in turn will help each community member influence their own physical community’s resilience and well being.

The ripple effect of the co-creative nature, support and learning done in the DRIVEN Community (Lab) will flow to each member’s community, just like a Champagne fountain.
Current Offerings:
DRIVEN 2 Wellness (D2W):
D2W is a 4-part virtual series to enhance Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual and Social well-being. The fashion with which we manage these “energy tanks” dictates our individual resilience, how we show up in the world, and how we integrate with others.
During the four 2-hour sessions, participants are introduced to foundational topics upon which to sustain their energy. They experience real time shifts in energy, through experiential exercises and breath work. A favorite aspect of the D2W program is meeting others in breakout rooms. This is where they explore, consider and share their interpretations, aspirations and questions regarding Personal Energy.
“I’m getting a ton of value out of the breakout sessions, regardless of topic. I learn a lot from everyone.”
“Shockingly, a highlight of D2W was the breakout chats, which normally give me agita at the thought of them!”
DRIVEN Community (Lab) Monthly Meetings:
Our monthly community meetings leverage Conversational Intelligence®️, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience to support our community members as they discover, discuss and embody these success skills into their lives and their communities.
Community members will continuously learn about, experience, reflect upon, celebrate and report in on maximizing their personal energy. For this is the foundational key to living a successful life.
These community meetings take place on the “First Tuesday” of each month from 7-8:30pm EST and include educational pieces, community building activities, breathing exercises, breakout rooms and experiential exercises.
This is a space to communicate about the growth of our community and to continue to co-create our future.

Building Toward our Future
The concept of co-creating a community may seem foreign to you. And although people in this community have been part of other co-created communities, each culture is different.
And in this case, the uncertainty of how our community will look is exciting due to the POSSIBILITIES we will consider.
We have sketched our aspirational future. The ‘rollout plan’ depends on our community members. So at this very moment, consider our future ‘under construction’.
If you want to be part of building a community, from the foundational principles, now’s the time to get involved!
The future of the DRIVEN Community (Lab) is under construction!
DRIVEN designs programs with a straightforward “what, why, how” cadence, allowing for participants to experience tools in real time.
Invest in your current self and in your future self…

Testimonials

“I have never attended a workshop where the content was so meticulously designed with the participant in mind. Deborah seamlessly translates her foundation in the restaurant industry into the corporate realm, infusing the program with hospitality, grace, and intentionality. Any hesitations you might have about career growth education should be left at the door for D2W.
For me, D2W provided the perfect environment for both personal and professional growth. The program uniquely balances deep personal introspection with practical goal setting, something I've not encountered in other programs. D2W was a valuable investment in my development, offering clear steps to maintain energy and continue my continuous learning journey.”
— Megan Flynn Harnett , Director of Operations, Findem

“I am a more patient and effective individual who is less reactive and more constructive as a result of the tools and Baby Steps I’ve taken in conjunction with DRIVEN Professionals’ energy management and personal development workshops. In each DRIVEN event I’ve attended, I have come away reinvigorated to take on new challenges and enrich my life. Inspired by the conversations at the events, my baby steps have enabled me to disconnect and live a life that is more in the moment. I am also learning to focus on the love, support and positive energy around me rather than be driven by perceived expectations and self-determined shortcomings. The men and women I have met through DRIVEN have broadened my network and led to additional connections and introductions.”
— Fen Yee Teh, Founder: Cook Play Live, DRIVEN Ambassador
