Naming What Wants to Grow | A Naming Fundamentals Workshop

As spring begins, we’re invited into a season of new starts. Ideas surface. Offers evolve. Businesses take shape. And often, the thing that slows us down isn’t the vision… it’s the name.

Naming What Wants to Grow is a practical, educational session for founders, creatives, and builders who are shaping something new (or refining something that’s grown).

Through strategic insight, trademark fundamentals, and guided evaluation, we’ll explore how to choose a name that’s clear, defensible, and aligned with where you’re headed.

This isn’t about chasing the cleverest option. It’s about understanding what makes a name strong, and moving forward with confidence.

Because a name isn’t just a label. It’s a foundation. A signal. A commitment.
