WisdomExchange (WE!) Program FAQ
The WisdomExchange, or WE!, program is a new benefit for Premium (paid) members: an exclusive by-us-for-us marketplace, offering the expertise of fellow members at a discounted, members-only rate.
Why are you launching this program?
We believe the Optionality community’s collective experience, wisdom, and expertise has tremendous value, and building a win-win, all-boats-rise collective business model is something we know a lot about.
In conversations with members and advisors, there are common themes:
Our community is time- and resource-strapped, so while the ethos of the community is to give and get support, we often prefer it in microdoses.
As members, we want a low-risk, high-value way to get the information we need, and we want recognition (and remuneration) for our expertise. WE! fulfills needs on both sides of the give-get spectrum.
How is WE! different from a coaching platform?
Some of the participating sages are already coaches offering ongoing sessions and packages; some are operators carving out time to share specific wisdom. WE! is designed to fulfill what we call “micro-needs,” often short-term, skill-based, or advice-oriented needs that may require one-off sessions more than ongoing engagements. Think of the service as paid brain-picking, or a private la carte coaching offered at exclusive value pricing.
What areas of expertise can I tap? Who are the Optionality sages?
The areas of expertise range from learning discrete tasks to getting just-in-time advice on a big decision or crossroads. Meet the sages and their offerings here.
How does it work?
As a “by us, for us” offering, we have secured a significant discounted session rate from our sages, exclusively for fellow Optionality Premium Members.
Premium members will have access to a Booking page where they can schedule and transact with each Sage directly.
In addition, each Annual Premium member will receive one complimentary session voucher per year with an annual subscription, which they can spend on any Sage offering they prefer.
Each sage is committed to offering each Premium member at least one session at the exclusive rate.
Can a member opt into seeing an expert more than once?
Absolutely! Many of the sages offer ongoing sessions/packages, and you can arrange to continue working with them directly.
OK I’m in. What do I do next?
Go to our Subscription page and sign up for Premium membership, either Monthly to gain access to book WE! sessions, or Annual if you want to receive one complimentary WE! session per year. From here you will receive a confirmation with access to paid benefits, including the WE! session booking page.
I’m a Premium member; can I share my wisdom as a sage?
So glad you asked! We’re currently piloting the WE! Program and will make refinements and gather learnings before expanding it to a dedicated platform. As part of this process we will review both requests for expertise not yet offered and requests to provide expertise. In order to be a sage, you must be an Optionality Premium member and be open to sharing your expertise at least one time to your fellow Premium members at the WE! exclusive rate. Interested parties should reach out to members@optionality.life.
