“The class is of eminent value for grad students and recent entries into the fields…but far more relevant, I think, for mid-level to C-suite creators and executives to be and become newly empowered, refreshed and revivified…to see their own experiences through alternate lenses, hone their skills in Collaboration and Cross-Cultural Communication…to become conversant and even more effective in multi-demographic collaboration…”

“…many people assume that you, personally, are a natural at working with people and therefor successful. However, you demonstrate how you make conscious decisions and use patience and a thoughtful process to get results.

“The best off-the-cuff talks are meticulously rehearsed. You bring that to a different level and speak about dealing with dozens of variables…and approaching tasks in a way that feels unrehearsed and natural but is actually the result of careful planning and proven methodology.

“Just completed an amazing #MasterClass on #ExperientialDesign and I'm feeling inspired! 🌟

Experiential design is all about forging emotional connections with people, making them remember and feel something. Kile Ozier is a true master, and his framework for creating experiences with deep, emotional connections left me in awe.

The class was an absolute blast! Kile's storytelling skills are exceptional. We delved into the psychology of emotion and explored the latest trends in experiential design. Connecting with a diverse group of creative professionals and guest speakers made the learning even more rewarding.

I'm so glad I took this masterclass. It's given me a new perspective on design. It's been an enriching journey!

“Empathize, Ideate, & Build” is the common doctrine of Design Thinking, and while they are inspirational points, they are hardly instructional.  Kile articulately lays out very actionable steps for any team involved in the creation and execution of Experience Design projects to follow on the path from concept to installation and operation.

In an industry that can be secretive, the How and Why of Experience Design can be lost as we celebrate the What.   The simple roadmap that is presented by Kile outlines best practices for informed success along the life cycle of a project’s development. Not just useful production tools, but also providing insight into the field for students interested in contributing to Experience Design or Themed Entertainment but who don’t fully realize all the working parts to the process.

His book and curriculum offers a combination of process details, case studies and first-hand stories as great examples that make this a delightful and credible experience.  Examples that take into consideration cultural and personality differences provide options for moving forward across a number of possible scenarios as both a contributor and a leader  in the industry.

Our industry mantra has become “story, story, story” But what does that actually mean?  “Creative Catalyst” graciously leads you down the path of story “revelation” best practices to carefully craft a very intentional emotional experience for your guests. 

In an industry that only thrives on collaboration and mentorship, Ozier’s forum and book continue the trend; graciously sharing resources and inspiration across disciplines and generations.

The Book, “Creative Catalyst,” is presented as a manual for the design of various experiences, it’s secretly an exhaustive manual for life.

“What set this masterclass apart was the dynamic mix of participants—from students to seasoned professionals—each contributing unique perspectives that enriched our discussions. The interactive exercises and real-world examples shared by Kile added practical depth to our learning journey.

“One of the most impactful discussions for me centered around leadership and collaboration. As creative leaders, fostering an environment where every team member feels valued and respected is paramount. This ethos fuels collaboration and unlocks optimal results, allowing ideas to flow freely and talents to shine.”

Cameron Mark Lewis, Sr. Program Mgr.Godfrey Dadich Partners

“Doesn’t matter if you are producing a live show, designing a VR experience, managing a technical program, or formulating an executive brief for stakeholders, because there is something here that works everywhere. Sales professionals? Check. Program Managers? Check. Consultants? Check. Storytellers? Check, check, and check.

I will fully admit that I did not think I was that “anyone”. In my mind, I was not even on the list, but Kile encouraged me – repeatedly and with knowing smiles - to join an upcoming cohort, and I admit I enjoyed myself from the first session. I (re)learned some hard-won truths from earlier in my career, and I met a great cast of people with wildly different perspectives and experiences that heightened my appreciation of what it takes to create something that grabs the attention, respects the audience, and raises the stakes in how stories can be told.

It also reinforced for me what and how a “performance” can be. Not just a live spectacle or filmed event or staged play, but what that word – performance – can mean to an audience, to your stakeholders, to your clients. And while we do not always think of those three types of people as the same, they can be. How you engage one group may be more applicable to the others than you think.

Bottom line: Kile’s course is worthwhile for anyone looking to rethink and reground themselves on how to engage with others, how to surprise and delight them, and how – in the end – tell stories that matter.”
