A Life in a Day creates uniquely immersive, 24-hour experiences designed to help participants understand what it's like to live with a specific disease or condition. Through interactive challenges via a mobile app, live role-play scenarios, and physical kits, participants are guided to "walk in a patient's shoes" and make real-life choices mirroring those faced by individuals with the condition. This approach fosters deep empathy and insight, often transforming participants' perspectives and professional approaches.

The Method applies method-acting techniques from theatre to corporate training, delivering blended programs of live training online and at client sites to develop Star performers in business roles.
