Our story

It started at the kitchen table. Our founder, Heidi Lance, watched her two sons learn in totally different ways — one lit up with pictures, the other clicked with video.

That moment sparked something bigger.

With 20+ years of designing learning that transforms mindsets and cultures, Heidi and the Real Learning team knew one thing: leadership doesn’t come from more information — it comes from meaningful moments.

So we built nudge — a practical, punchy, human way to grow leadership in the flow of real life.

Backed by award-winning culture-shift work across high-risk, corporate, and not-for-profit sectors, nudge brings leadership to life through short visuals, powerful models, go-time guides, and deeper dives — all designed to meet people where they are, when it matters most.

Because leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all.
And learning shouldn’t be either.
