💭 Message from HueLife Team:
For HueLife’s Megan Jacobson, the stage and the meeting room aren’t so different. Her early love of theater unexpectedly reemerged through her son’s passion, and it’s reshaped the way she approaches facilitation today in and out of the meeting room.
From script reads to scene blocking, she found herself using tools like ORID and Circles of Involvement to guide young actors just like she does with clients.

Want a better way to spark honest feedback and build team trust?

This August, HueLife is honored to host 16 Ukrainian youth and two chaperones for a 5-week YouLEAD leadership experience in Minnesota. Chosen from over 280 applicants, these remarkable 16- and 17-year-olds bring not only resilience, but optimism, purpose, and a deep desire to rebuild their communities.
One applicant, Mykola, shared:
“The rockets destroyed my house, so my family was forced to run… I sleep on the floor, study at a picnic table, and yet I’m grateful. I want to give back, lead, and help rebuild Ukraine.”
