LIVE MASTERCLASS WITH DR. DIANE DYE

January 17, 2026 — RichesArt Gallery — Austin, TX

What if the setback you’re facing right now is actually the key to your next big leap?

Most leaders try to fix their problems by working harder, moving faster, or pushing through — but the real breakthroughs happen when you learn how to mine your challenges for opportunity. In this energizing live Masterclass, Dr. Diane Dye will show you how to turn resistance, disruption, and “no” into clarity, innovation, and scalable action.

Dr. Dye is an experimentation strategist and CEO advisor who has worked with more than 500 founders and CEOs navigating high-stakes decisions and organizational complexity. Her Critical Opportunity Method helps leaders uncover opportunity hidden inside setbacks, avoid the costly trap of resistance, and create profitable momentum even in uncertainty.

This Masterclass blends research, storytelling, and real-world frameworks you can apply immediately.
