When I left my hospital job to help start Pace, it was because I saw a real need. A need to help the world unlock more human connection. Turns out we were even more right than we knew at the time.

Now, 20,000 Pace sessions later, we’re sharing one thing we’ve learned. I call it the Pace Method.

The Pace Method: Small Talk Sucks, Go Real+Honest.

Our first groups leaned on experts like Dr. Adrienne Heinz and Dr. Matthew Stimmel, as well as rich research from the clinical world. Over tens of thousands of groups, we learned some key truths:

• People fundamentally need to talk to each other.
• Candid, emotional openness – or as we say, being Real+Honest – isn’t something that’s proprietary to coaching, therapy, men’s groups, or any forum – it’s natural to the human condition.
• And there is at least one way – the Pace Method – to do it consistently.

Most conversations in life are shallow out of convenience; even more so on the internet. The Pace Method helps us to have more authentic and connective conversations with the people in our lives – anytime & anywhere. 

We’ve incorporated the entire method into our Pace software experience, but it feels too good to not share with everyone. Use it the next time you go to Happy Hour with friends, dinner with your family, or getting to know new coworkers. 

Check out all the details here: https://blog.pace.group/the-pace-method-small-talk-sucks/ . Heads up: it’s not short because something like this requires a lot of thought – and give it a go with someone today.
