SPARC Blueprint Essentials Training & Cohorts
SPARC Blueprint Essentials Training & Cohorts

The SPARC Blueprint Essentials Mastery Program combines training, mentoring, and community inside small group cohorts. Its purpose is to provide a foundation through which you become a living embodiment of your own unique expression of the SPARC Blueprint.

You'll journey through the SPARC Blueprint's five ingredients:

  1. Shatter Societal & Personal Spells (limiting beliefs) Holding You Back
  2. Picture the Future You Most Want for Humanity and Yourself
  3. Align Your Calling That's Your Unique Part in Helping That Future Emerge
  4. Rise Your Capacities to Actualize Your Calling (including the 6 Pillars of Impactful Resilience)
  5. Collaborate to Amplify Your Impact

Cohort members will support each other through community conversations and being accountability partners. David will answer questions and provide input.

SPARC's five ingredients catalyze five profound outcomes—the true "sparks" of our evolution:

  1. Self-Transcendence → the spark of higher clarity
  2. Personal Responsibility → the spark of owned agency
  3. Authentic Relating → the spark of genuine connection
  4. Resilient Integrity → the spark of unshakeable alignment
  5. Co-Creation → the spark of synergy power

Together, they turn timeless spiritual wisdom into durable, real-world tools—equipping individuals to reclaim agency, leaders to guide with elevated skills, and societies to cultivate unity without coercion or undermining individual freedom.

You'll emerge with your own unique expression of the SPARC Blueprint that you can live in all parts of your life, and with a plan for your best next steps beyond this program.

Conquering Anger Mountain™
Conquering Anger Mountain™

Forget perpetual anger management. Forget endlessly screaming into (or pounding) pillows. Forget being scared of your own anger or other people's!

Conquering Anger Mountain is a training program that equips you to effectively deal with all four varieties of anger. Yes, there are 4, not just 1, and each must be dealt with quite differently from the others!

  1. Boundaries: this is "no" or "ouch" without agitation, blame, or shame
  2. Escalation: this is increasing agitation accompanied by shaming ourselves and/or blaming others
  3. Flooding: this happens when our brain is bathed in stress chemicals that turn off our ability to speak and act reasonably and lock us into animal-impulse reactivity
  4. Recycling: this is looping anger that's re-activated in here-and-now situations because we haven't yet resolved our remaining anger from prior situations.

You will also discover proven ways to repair Anger Damage, create new plans for handling future situations. Through this, . By mastering the art of Full-Spectrum Anger Literacy and Effectiveness, you'll vastly uplevel your emotional intelligence and effectiveness, and rise to new levels of navigating difficult situations with confidence and poise.

There's NO other program like this one-of-a-kind resource. Not even most psychotherapists know what you're about to master! This is your unparalleled opportunity to alchemize your anger into a force that elevates your personal wellbeing, relationship effectiveness, and positive impact.

Enroll now and move through the modules at your own pace.

Nimble Business Essentials
Nimble Business Essentials

Amid perpetual upheavals and accelerating world changes, consumer demand has transitioned from the Experience Economy where buyers chose memorable outcomes to the Transformational Economy, where buyers choose meaningful, authentic, and socially responsible outcomes. And it's now rapidly transitioning into the next phase of consumer demand: the Transcendent Economy.

The future belongs to the nimble; those able to resiliently innovate to deliver meaningful goods and services that customers seek. Being nimble makes demands beyond the traditional corporate structure and leadership strategy’s ability to deliver. Moreover, executive team structures and company cultures that were adequate for success in the past are ill-suited for thriving in the future.

Through this resource, you'll gain access to the digital and audio editions of The Nimble C-Suite and The Nimble Company, the companion books from multi-award-winning bestselling co-authors, Dr. David Gruder and the late Mark S.A. Smith. The wisdom they contain provides you with an essential bridge from the conventional business approaches you used to get where you are today, to flourishing ethically in today’s Transformational Economy and beyond.

The premise of Nimbility: Because your customers want to become a better version of themselves, your company must become a better version of itself.

The Nimble C-Suite: How to Align the Diverse Strengths of Your Executive Team to Predictably Deliver Extraordinary Outcomes in a Transformational Economy, reveals theroot causes that limit leadership teams and offers you an executive team realignment framework to effectively address changing demands in today’s chronically volatile business environment.

The Nimble Company: A Proactive, Socially Responsible Framework for Driving Sustained Profits and Growth in a Chronically Chaotic World, takes a fresh look at the root causes of upheavals, offers pragmatic solutions that can address these causes in today’s chronically volatile business environment, and shows you how to create a nimble company culture that more effectively supports business success in the transformation marketplace.

This Nimble Business Essentials Resource Includes:

  • The digital and audio versions of The Nimble Company and The Nimble C-Suite bestselling books
  • A course for applying what's in the books
  • Opportunities for asynchronous conversations with other enrollees AND with Dr. Gruder 
  • Surprises that will be added in the future.

Ethical Personal Power Effectiveness
Ethical Personal Power Effectiveness

Caring people want to have positive impact on those around them, in all parts of their personal, work and community life. Having positive impact requires right relationship with personal power. Our society has a screwy relationship with power. One that has been blocking caring people from fully embodying their power. That's because caring people don't want to misuse power as tyrants, but they don't know how to fully step into their power without becoming corrupt and tyrannical themselves.

It's great you want to have positive impact. It's even better if you have realized that in order to have as much positive impact as you can, you need to uplevel your personal power.

Authority Shadow for MKP Initiated Men: July 25, 2026
Authority Shadow for MKP Initiated Men: July 25, 2026

In-Person Workshop Exclusively for ManKind Project Initiated Men: Embody Mature Masculine Power Through Healing Your Authority Shadow

July 25, 2026, 9:30am-5:30pm, at the San Diego MKP Lodge.

Earlybird Enrollment by July 20 for $95. After that, the fee increases to $150.

A missing developmental layer in men’s work—why good men struggle with collaboration and how to shift those patterns in real time.

Most of us in MKP have done meaningful inner work. Very few have been trained in how to relate to power in mature ways.

That lack of training shows up most—within and outside MKP— in:

  • Conversations

  • Moments of tension

  • How we step forward… or hold back

You’ve likely seen it—in yourself and in others:

  • Coming in too strong

  • Shutting down or giving in

  • Resisting input

  • Rebelling against people in authority positions

  • Collaboration attempts breaking down despite good intentions

This isn't a character issue. It’s a pattern shaped by our negative individual and collective history with power.

At the center of this is something rarely named and dealt-with:

Authority Shadow—our wound-shaped relationship to influencing and being influenced.

These patterns simply mean that one of our growth edges it to develop a positive relationship with influence and power in others o.r ourselves

Even highly conscious men:

  • Overreach their influence

  • Withdraw from being influential

  • Influence in reactive rather than responsive ways

  • Reinforce dysfunctional power dynamics, whether deliberately or unintentionally

And then we wonder why our relationships and organizations don’t work the way we want them to!

About This Training

In this deeply experiential training you will:

  • Identify your Authority Shadow patterns

  • Uncover the wounds and beliefs that drive them

  • Recognize Authority Shadow activation as it happens

  • Interrupt those patterns in real time

  • Start relating to power in ways that are more grounded, clean, and responsive

What Changes

More than insight!

You'll discover how to:

  • Stay present, self-regulated, and responsive in situations when you used to be reactive

  • Have positive influence instead of forcing, rebelling, or collapsing

  • Deal with powerful people and organizational dynamics without losing yourself

  • Trust yourself more fully, even when conflict is happening

Because our inner work becomes outwardly visible in how we show up with others–moment to moment.

This rare in-person training from David Gruder for MKP-initiated men is a rare opportunity to get the upper hand with a common problem that is constantly causing painful strife.

As an in--person attendee will also gain access to this online resource for continuing your development after the workshop.
