Seeing in Forms: Understanding the Structures That Shape Our Lives - A Workshop with Olivia Votaw
2026-09-18 - 2026-09-19
Seeing in Forms: Understanding the Structures That Shape Our Lives
with Olivia Votaw Online | Friday 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday 9 am to Noon MST, September 18-19 | 1.5 Days
Join Olivia Votaw for a focused online workshop on Forms —a foundational concept in Leadership Education. Forms are the structures and systems that shape how things work in every area of our lives, from our families and classrooms to our communities and governments. When we learn to recognize the forms around us, we gain the ability to understand why we get the results we do — and how to create better ones.
Over this day and a half, Olivia will guide participants through what forms are, why they matter, and how developing an eye for them can transform the way you mentor, teach, and lead.
This workshop is designed for parents and mentors but apprentice scholars are also invited to attend.
This workshop takes place online on September 18th and 19th. We hope to see you there!

Fall Challenge Accepted Course
2026-10-15 15:00 - 20:00
FIRST DAY OF CLASS
Thursdays October 15th to November 19th. Two times to choose from – 3 pm and 6 pm Mountain.
TESTIMONIALS:
Parent –  “You (Kathy) create a very safe environment, so I love watching you mentor the youth. That’s probably my favorite thing even more than the topic, even though That’s great too.”
Parent – “We are very excited to observe (our son) interacting and expressing firmly his ideas and at the same time having fun.”
Student – “So enjoyed this! Thank you so much!”
Family – “Thanks Kathy for “Accepting the Challenge” to create this class.”
Challenge Accepted is a dynamic, mentor-led course where youth practice how to defend their beliefs with confidence, clarity, and respect. Through real-time mentoring, they’ll learn to spot logical fallacies, avoid cognitive distortions, build strong arguments, use story for persuasion, and ask questions that humanize an “opponent.”
But this class isn’t just for youth. It’s also a mentoring masterclass for parents and educators.
Kathy Mellor is coming out of retirement to lead this course. Drawing on decades of mentoring youth and coaching parents, Kathy brings clear frameworks, practical tools, and a calm, courageous model for tackling hard conversations at home and in class.
