STUDENT-DRIVEN LEARNING COURSES, CONSULTING, AND CONFECTIONS
STUDENT-DRIVEN LEARNING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
“One Stone encouraged me to follow my passions for business, technology, 3D, and game design. This led to the birth of my first e-learning venture with over 5,000 students across 129 countries. I gained real-world connections, sales experience, and an entrepreneurial mindset, which was helpful in all aspects of life, not just business.”

LIVING IN BETA AND MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
“This Wayfinding Mentorship Program stands out as the best professional development series I have ever experienced. It has challenged me to examine myself as an individual, as a mentor, and as a leader. The design, pace, materials, cohort, and high expectations for interaction with the material and each other made it very enriching. This will be with me for a long time.”
