About Act Like X

Why Act Like X?

How many times have you read a book that got you excited about the impact a new approach could have on your company or organization? Or heard a great speaker at a conference that made you want to change the world? Or seen a thought-provoking TED Talk that inspired you to implement change… but once back in the office, dealing with the demands of the day-to-day, you just got too busy and moved on?

Act Like X is rooted in the practice of taking inspiration from others — in adopting and adapting the best practices of leading companies and executives and applying them to your own company or organization. Our workbooks and workshops are designed to help you to get informed and inspired. More importantly, they’re designed to help you take action.
