Focus is an Experiential Growth Training (EGT)— an expertly designed series of group exercises and discussions; this unique process helps individuals bring awareness to harmful and unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that, when changed, unlocks freedom and growth that is hard to create in day-to-day life.

The training is organized by folks in Cincinnati and facilitated by trainers brought in from Kansas City and other cities.

The training is 11 days long, separated into 3 sessions of time. The 1st and 3rd sessions run from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, while the 2nd session runs from Wednesday evening to Sunday afternoon.

Yes! The full training is broken up into 3 different sessions. In each course, the group participates together, not individually. The sessions are broken up into blocks of training time with 10-20 minute breaks in between. On long days, there is a break for dinner.

Focus 1 (Discovery): In this first weekend, the emphasis is on figuring out what makes you, you. What’s shaped you? What are you pretending not to know about yourself? This weekend helps set the tone for what Focus is all about, and develops deep relationships between trainees.

Focus 2 (Journey): This in many ways, is the main course of the Focus experience. This weekend is all about growth. Trainees will be challenged in new ways, and get the opportunity to break out of comfort zones. This truly is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Focus 3 (Momentum): Now that trainees have moved into the growth zone, this course focuses on how to stay there. Learn real, applicable tools that will help you become a more effective leader, spouse, parent, and person. While the other two weekends focus on experiences, this weekend focuses on the facts!

Absolutely. Focus Cincinnati will never ask you to do anything unsafe or immoral.

The Focus training revolves around group exercises and experiences that you actually do rather than just talk about.

Think about a Goalkeeper practicing penalty kicks. It does no good for the goalie to be told where the ball is going to be kicked. How are they ever going to get better?

Focus is similar. It is reactive by nature. In order to get your most authentic response, it is imperative that the content is not spoiled! Just as in life, this is where real growth happens.

The Focus experience is an individual training and does not need to be done with a partner. Couples find value in going through the training whether they do it together or separately. Couples also find value even when only one partner goes through it.

No.

Just yourself and comfortable, layered clothing that will allow you to adjust to the temperature of the room.

No. Be prepared to eat out with the group.

For the 1st and 3rd weekend, you stay at home or make your own arrangements if you’re an out-of-towner. For the 2nd session, the group is encouraged to stay together in a hotel or an Airbnb, and accommodations are arranged at the end of the 1st weekend.

Yes! It is only valid after participant has completed the entire 3-weekend Focus Cincinnati training series and expresses dissatisfaction with personal results to the Trainer at the conclusion of the final weekend.

Focus isn’t just a seminar or conference— it’s a deeply immersive process of personal growth, reflection, and transformation. Throughout your experience, you’re guided by a highly trained team, supported by intentional coaching, and surrounded by a community committed to helping you reach your full potential.

The investment covers extensive preparation, facilitation, and follow-through to ensure you don’t just attend an event— you experience lasting change. Most participants leave saying the value they received far exceeds the cost.

If cost is a true barrier for you, we highly recommend you take 90 seconds to apply for a scholarship.

We’ve intentionally kept the cost within reach because we don’t want money, or limiting beliefs about it, to stand in the way of transformation. Focus is intentionally priced to be an investment — something you feel and commit to — but not something that keeps you from saying yes.

For some people, that investment is a real stretch. For others, it’s a drop in the bucket. Either way, it’s not about the number— it’s about your willingness to invest in yourself and show up fully.

And for those who go through this process and find it’s worth far more than they paid, we encourage you to pay it forward by helping someone else experience it who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
