We create experiences that develop the capabilities that make us human.
As technology changes how we think, work, communicate and make decisions, Making It Human® explores what we still need to experience for ourselves.
Through workshops, programs and shared experiences, we help people develop greater self-trust, judgement, adaptability and connection, so they can navigate life and work with confidence.
We experience life before we understand it.
Every experience leaves something with us. It shapes what we believe, how we see ourselves, how we connect with others and how we respond to the world around us.
But experience does something else.
It develops us.
We learn judgement by making decisions, confidence by doing difficult things and adaptability by navigating uncertainty. Yet as more of life becomes easier, faster and frictionless, we face an important question:
Are we removing the very experiences that help us become better at living?
The Making It Human® Experience.
Experience creates change.
Making It Human® brings people together through facilitated workshops, programs and shared experiences designed to turn understanding into something we can actually live.
Rather than simply giving people more information, we create opportunities to reflect, question, participate, make decisions and connect with others.
Grounded in The 7 Essential Human Experiences®, our experiences help people develop greater clarity, confidence, self-trust and the human capabilities needed to navigate life and work.
For Individuals
Explore identity, navigate change and develop greater confidence and self-trust through experiences that help you discover what comes next.
For Organisations
Develop the human capabilities that matter in a changing world through experiences focused on leadership, adaptability, connection and decision-making.
Our Framework
The 7 Essential Human Experiences®
A framework for understanding the experiences that shape us.
At the heart of Making It Human® are seven experiences I believe are fundamental to being human:
Authenticity. Belonging. Growth. Love. Meaning. Purpose. Safety.
These experiences shape our identity, relationships and the way we experience the world. They also influence how we think, connect, make decisions, navigate change and respond to uncertainty.
Understanding these experiences helps us recognise what may be missing, what needs our attention and what we can choose to experience more of.
Why Making It Human?
Because what we experience develops what we are capable of.
Making It Human® was founded by Scarlett Vespa, creator of The 7 Essential Human Experiences®.
After more than 30 years working across creativity, media, business, leadership and human development, Scarlett recognised a pattern that connected both her professional and personal experiences.
Information can change what we know. Experience can change who we become.
Making It Human® was created to put that understanding into practice, bringing people together through experiences that develop self-trust, judgement, adaptability, responsibility and meaningful connection.
