Interested in Cognitive Bootcamp?

I'm running more 4-day "Cognitive Bootcamps [LW · GW]" over the next couple months (during Lighthaven Eternal September season). DM me if you're potentially interested (either as an individual, or as a team).
The workshop is most valuable to people who:
- control their decisionmaking process (i.e. you decide what projects you or a team work on, rather than working at a day-job on someone else's vision)
- are either a) confused about planmaking / have a vague sense that they aren't as strategically ambitious as they could be.
- and/or, b) are at a place where it's natural to spend a few days thinking big-picture thoughts before deciding on their next project.
There's a secondary[1] focus on "practice solving confusing problems", which IMO is time well spent, but requires more followup practice to pay off.
I wrote about the previous workshop here [LW · GW]. Participants said on average they'd have been willing to pay $850 for it, and would have paid $5000 for the ideal, perfectly-tailored-for-them version. My plan is to charge $500/person for the next workshop, and then $1000 for the next one.
I'm most excited to run this for teams, who can develop a shared skillset and accompanying culture. I plan to tailor the workshops for the needs of whichever people show up.
The dates are not scheduled yet (depends somewhat on when a critical mass of participants are available). DM me if you are interested.
The skills being taught will be similar to the sort of thing listed in Skills from a year of Purposeful Rationality Practice [LW · GW] and the Feedbackloop-first Rationality [? · GW] sequence. My default curriculum is aiming to teach several interrelated related skills you can practice over four days, that build into a coherent metaskill of "ambitious planning, at multiple timescales."

I started this project oriented around "find better feedbackloops for solving confusing problems [LW · GW]", and later decided that planmaking [LW · GW] was the highest leverage part of the skill tree to focus on.
