Harnessing the Collective: Community as a Catalyst for Change

Jeff Keith embarked on a remarkable journey with a profound mission: to combat human trafficking head-on. His path began with five years of dedicated research and establishing crucial partnerships with key stakeholders, including law enforcement, public service, ministry, and the military.

He soon recognized a critical gap in the fight against trafficking. While these authorities were tasked with solving the issue, they often lacked the essential resources and specialized knowledge needed to do so effectively.

Human traffickers can target anyone, but certain groups are more vulnerable, such as young individuals with high ACE scores (a measure of neglect and abuse in childhood), those experiencing homelessness, foster care youths, and those involved in the juvenile justice system.

Among the most disproportionately affected are minority populations, specifically Black, Latino, and Native American girls from underrepresented and underserved communities. Shockingly, victims are often openly advertised online, with approximately 150,000 new online advertisements selling women and children for sex in the U.S. each day. Law enforcement agencies were stretched thin, lacking the time, resources, and skills to locate, rescue, and support these victims.

It was clear that a fresh and courageous approach was needed to make a meaningful impact.



Jeff Keith firmly believes in the strength of community. His innovative solution was to unite the power of the community with the expertise, diligence, and experience of intelligence and law enforcement agencies. This combination created a force multiplier approach, empowering authorities with vital insights, data, and expertise.



The Guardian Group recruits, vets, and trains a dedicated team of volunteers who actively search for online advertisements to gather leads and information about victims. They call this Project 1951, named after the U.S. statute code that makes child trafficking a federal offense.

The Guardian Group's pioneering approach was launched in 2022, and its impact has been extraordinary. In just the first quarter of 2023, it led to a remarkable 200% increase in victim identifications, a trend expected to grow exponentially by year-end.

They assemble the necessary evidence and insights, which are then carefully passed on to the relevant authorities. This collaborative effort makes law enforcement more effective in apprehending the perpetrators.

Now, having developed a groundbreaking model for combating human trafficking, Jeff faces the challenge of scaling up to help even more victims. His personal motto is: Until All Are Free.

Jeff knows this endeavor will demand incredible mental agility and unwavering determination. Expanding will require fresh inspiration, innovative ideas, and support from unexpected sources.



The project is rooted in the belief that diverse thinking is the key to overcoming this challenge. This is precisely why Jeff has joined TIGNUM’s B-LD KITCHEN. He recognizes that the diverse collective and inspirational dialogues within it will uniquely empower him and the Guardian Group to have a lasting impact on people's lives.

There are various ways to support this project, as an individual and an organization.

Fundamental Force: How Core Principles Propelled a Record-BREAKING Global Cycle

Laura Penhaul (Performance Innovation Officer at TIGNUM) was Mark Beaumont's performance manager when he set out to pedal the globe in less than 80 days. It wasn't just a triumph of endurance; it was a masterclass in prioritizing fundamental gains over marginal ones.


Project: Cycle Around the World in Under 80 Days
B-LD KITCHEN Founding Member: Laura Penhaul

Laura was the performance manager for Mark Beaumont when he set out to pedal the globe in less than 80 days. It wasn't just a triumph of endurance; it was a masterclass in prioritizing fundamental gains over marginal ones.

Observers and spectators of any sporting or endurance endeavor are often captivated by the minutiae — the sleek aerodynamics of a helmet, the skin-tight efficiency of a racing suit, or the power-to-weight ratios that speak to an athlete's sheer force. Yet, for Laura and Mark, success hinged on the sport's core tenets, tailored to his unique capabilities and the calculated risks involved.

To circumnavigate the globe, the core principles
were clear-cut:

  • Maintain 15mph for 16 hours each day, no matter what.




  • It had to be done in 80 days, with a mere
3 days reserved for flights and an allowance of 4-6 hours of sleep nightly.




  • Endure temperature fluctuations from a balmy 28°C to a chilling 2°C, all while keeping a steady output of 190 watts per hour.




  • He would need to climb 149,871 meters (equivalent to climbing Everest 17 times).

In order to achieve this, Laura created a strategy based on four fundamentals:

  • Choosing sustainable comfort over ephemeral speed was crucial. It meant favoring a higher posture over an aggressive, low aero position that could cut each day short through pain and power loss.

    It's about the right gear for the conditions, ensuring that saddle sores or wrist strains don't derail the journey. This is more than just avoiding the immediate aches. It's the safeguard against tendon wear and the cognitive decline that comes from fatigue.

  • Every element demanded uniformity, from training to power output to routine adherence. Wasting five minutes post-break could culminate in losing a whole day over the long haul — unacceptable when chasing a sub-80-day record.

  • Skincare, oral care, clean apparel, meticulous food preparation — they weren't just routines; they were non-negotiables.

    With illness posing a significant threat to the mission, hygiene standards were paramount for the entire team.

  • The right nutrition at the right time wasn't just about energy; it was about maintaining the necessary power to keep the wheels turning.

    It encompassed everything from macro and micro-nutrient distribution to gut health and the psychological well-being that comes from satisfying meals.


Mark and Laura's story isn't just one of physical prowess; it's a testament to a holistic approach where big-picture thinking trumps the allure of marginal gains. It's about the wisdom of working with what you have and recognizing that the strength to push through doesn't start with a single pedal stroke — it begins with a mindset geared toward the foundational elements that drive success in the face of global ambition.

What are the fundamentals
 for your own projects?
Are you focusing on your fundamentals or the marginal gains of so-called performance culture behaviors?



It is an interesting topic we have been exploring through our B-LD KITCHEN conversations.

Redefining What it Means to be Human

Discover Deb Bubb's journey from HR leader to founder of The Institute for Moral Imagination, where she uses creativity and neuroscience to enhance professional and personal growth.


Project: The Institute for Moral Imagination
B-LD KITCHEN Founding Member: Deb Bubb

Deb is a trailblazer in
the human resources realm, celebrated for infusing genuine humanity back into the corporate world. Respected for her deep experience in leadership development and talent management within the tech industry, she's held influential positions at UnitedHealth Group, Optum, IBM, and Intel—steering the course of leadership, diversity, talent management, and organizational vitality.

Deb's approach is unique. Throughout her career, she's turned to the fascinating insights of neuroscience and evolutionary biology to deepen our understanding of what it truly means to be human – and how that humanity plays a critical role in our professional performance. She's dedicated to the premise that art and creative self-expression are fundamental to our human experience, shaping our understanding of the world and ourselves.

This insight led her to a profound question: How might we leverage our innate creativity to envision and build the future we aspire to?

So, Deb founded The Institute for Moral Imagination. Centered on the idea that every life is a creative act, the Institute is dedicated to nurturing the artist within us and deepening our moral clarity, imagination, and courage to create a world where we can all flourish. The Institute is a generative resource to build a world where our workplaces, communities, and day-to-day lives are a canvas for creative and moral thought—a future shaped by a collective humanity.


“We're being saturated today with messages and experiences that come out of an echo chamber and keep us in a narrower and narrower slice of our brain. Art and creativity invite us to experience and use all of our brains, many different ways that our brains are designed, to sense and experience the world.”

Deb Bubb, B-LD KITCHEN Founding Member and
Co-Founder of the Institute for Moral Imagination


CEO of the kyu collective, Michael Birkin, co-founder of SYPartners, Keith Yamashita, and Deb are undertaking a powerful initiative cut from the same cloth.

The movement is called “20 Summers” and asks: If you had 20 good summers left, how would you live your life? The effort has two major offerings:

1) A group-based, in-person set of experiences where we work with people in “cohorts” to plan for and flourish throughout their next twenty years and

2) An online and digital platform designed to serve millions with tools, experiences, and learning solutions to facilitate their growth and development into elderhood


Through 20 Summers, the team hopes to:



- Help people explore, reckon, and contend with the life they have built so far—taking the best elements of their life and building a new collage


- Forge new mindsets and beliefs that will sustain people through their elderhood—this often means reshaping one’s identity, self-image, self- esteem, and relationships within groups 


- Help people define their purpose, direction, and approach


- Unleash people to experiment, practice, and build new rituals to create this preferred future and life


Deb is embracing a new chapter, moving beyond the corporate sphere to wholeheartedly devote herself to The Institute for Moral Imagination and 20 Summers. Her journey and this significant transition were the focal points of her B-LD KITCHEN Roundtable session, which marked the first time she spoke openly about her shift in focus.

The exchange she had with other members wasn’t just informative—it was a galvanizing experience that reinforced her conviction in the Institute’s mission. This kind of exchange is precisely what the B-LD KITCHEN aims to foster: an environment where dialogue ignites innovation and emboldens the kind of thinking that leads to breakthroughs.


“We can only answer questions we have the courage to ask.”

Keith Yamashita,
 co-founder of 20 Summers

Bringing Sustainable Human Performance to the team with Dirk-Maarten Molenaar

Work and life are not two different spheres that need to be balanced - sustainable human performance is a much more appealing and integrative approach to simply being our best version.


Dirk Maarten-Molenaar, Managing Director and Senior Partner, BCG

Sustainable Human Performance is both simple and complex at the same time. Dirk-Marten Molenaar shares how learning about Sustainable Human Performance profoundly changed his life and how he consequently introduced the concept to his teams and initiated major shifts company-wide.

He has an in-depth understanding that there is no one perfect performance strategy, but rather it differs from person to person and over time. Yet, adopting your performance strategies according to need and context should never mean letting them drop, no matter how turbulent the times. Why? If you are a paid thinker, like many of us are, you should never compromise on your own brain power.

Getting Stronger in the Storm

When facing life's storms, it feels like we are pushing against the wind. Things are unpredictable, uncertain, and hard. We may even make assumptions that these storms will surely lead to burnout. But is this true?


We all encounter storms in our life (work and home) when things are difficult, we feel like we are pushing against the wind, and things are unpredictable, uncertain, and hard. During these storms, we push hard, and, too often, we see these storms as burdens that make us weaker. We may even make assumptions that these storms, and the hard pushes that come with them, will surely lead to burnout. But is this true? Do the hard pushes in a storm have to make us weaker? Is there a way to actually get stronger in the storm?

At TIGNUM, we study human performance - not just in the smooth and easily manageable times (which are occurring at a much lower frequency), but in the heat of the moment, in the pain of the grind, and in the crunch time when failure is not an option. We partner with and support our clients to change the paradigm from where these storms leave you 10% worse to where these storms can leave you 10% stronger. Most importantly, you go from being 75% of your best when it matters most in the storm - to being 100% when the greatest challenges require your best.

While our latest book, BeMore, goes into more detail, we thought that during the current storms, we would share a few buckets of best practices we have used to help clients get stronger in their storms. If you’re thinking, “I can’t do any more,” keep in mind, that you are not alone, and we understand. The fact is that in the storm, you are already doing more. When we say BeMore, we mean follow the best practices to help you show up more focused, more present, more prepared, more energized, and more resilient. These are key to making more of an impact.

Lead your self-talk to generate supportive thoughts

The first bucket, and probably the most critical, is your mindset. It all starts with a focus on your mindset, driven by your self-talk and inner stories. As soon as you allow your mind to start telling you thoughts like: “Here we go again, I am so tired of this,” or “If I’m this tired now, how will I make it for another three months of this,” or “I don’t think any of this matters, so why should I care,” you are getting weaker and becoming defeated. Don’t get us wrong, these thoughts are normal, and we only shared the tame ones.

The point is that during these pushes, you have to direct your brain with purposeful, productive, guided thoughts - and not listen to the drama and victim-filled thoughts your brain will create. Some pre-framed thoughts our clients have used to replace these thoughts are: “Break it down - I don’t have to make it three months, I just need to tackle this morning,” or “This is a tough push, but I’m tougher, so as long as I approach this from a Sustainable Human Performance way, I will win,” or “I’ll be my best for this next meeting and then worry about what comes next.” The common element of these reframes is that they take control and, therefore, put the brain back in control.

Decrease the charge of your emotions

Another key mindset strategy is to embrace the suck. Not from a cheeky angle, but from a scientifically-proven approach that starts with labeling the emotions you are feeling. This emotion labeling step helps your brain identify exactly what you are feeling, which is critical to developing emotional agility. Next, apply specific breathing techniques in the critical moment to stop the cascade of cortisol and adrenaline (stress response hormones). Don’t do this to find your happy place; do this to quickly pitstop and identify the choices that the storm has presented to you. This will put your brain back in control by consistently making the best choice possible. This helps stop the sensation of feeling overwhelmed and helps you lean into the next challenge of the day.

Never compromise your (micro-) recovery breaks

The second bucket is your own energy and resilience. You need to invest in these, no matter how hard the push. Start your day strong with the right movement, priming the brain with the right thoughts and images, feeding the brain with the right performance foods and nutrients, and identifying where your opportunities are to multiply your impact today. Most importantly, become diligent about your sleep. There is no doubt that sleep during the storm can be challenging as the brain creates so many ruminating thoughts (this would take a separate blog to cover), but being sure to increase the amount of your sleep by 10% always pays huge dividends.

Apply micro-recovery breaks throughout every day and create longer breaks wherever you can. Micro-recovery breaks work best when they are part of the transition between events so they can double the benefits. These transitions with recovery built in will prepare you for what is coming and, at the same time, refill your performance energy tanks so you can bring your best. We have written so much about great examples of this before, so we will leave this to you. But the kiss of death is the thought, “I’m too busy to do my micro-recovery breaks.” The longer breaks like an afternoon off, or a 3-day weekend, are also critical but often missed. These slightly longer breaks provide you a quick reset, and they also give you a chance to check in and see what is working for you, what isn’t working for you, and how you will attack the next chunk of work in a smarter way.

Breakdown the load into manageable chunks

The third bucket is breaking down the heavy loads during the storm. This is called chunking, and it works even if you only do it in your mind. The brain does well with small challenges but struggles when it can’t see the end and doesn’t have a benchmark to see if it is making progress. Breaking the day into four chunks like your morning prep, your morning work, your afternoon work, and your evening can make the busiest day manageable. Sometimes, breaking it down into even smaller chunks like these two meetings, then this work time, then these three meetings, etc., can be helpful. Other times, breaking down the work into chunks like research time, compilation time, writing time, refinement time, etc., can help your brain realize that each type of work is unique and, therefore, the Sustainable Human Performance strategies you implement should adjust so you can bring your best work to each phase.

Intentionally strengthen your self-belief

Finally (just for this blog because there is much more that can be done), and this is created by all three buckets - constantly check in with, and feed, your self-belief. Fatigue and grinding have a way of chipping away at self-belief, and when self-belief falters, the boat is getting ready to sink in the middle of the storm. We have written about this previously, but one great technique we use is a daily reflection we call the 3-2-1 reflection. Write down 3 things you did well today that mattered, 2 things you wish you could have done better and what that would have looked like, and 1 thing you learned. This reflection helps you see the impact you have made, the benefits of your choices, and the learning and growth you have achieved.

Human beings are incredible, and, therefore, you are incredible. It is amazing the amount of pain, suffering, setbacks, and grind we can endure when we feel in control, when we feel the benefits, when we feel the growth, and when we overcome challenges. These feelings don’t come by chance; they come by choice and by approaching the push like a Sustainable Human Performer.
