Why Your Ideas Aren’t Spreading (Yet)

📍LIVE ONLINE EVENT

🗓️ Jan 28 from 12pm to 1pm EST

A free, live Zoom class for people with great ideas who are done waiting to be noticed.

Learn what actually helps ideas spread.

---

Overview

You can have a great idea and still feel like it’s going nowhere.

Ideas don’t spread simply because they’re brilliant. That can be frustrating, especially for people who care deeply about the quality and integrity of their work. The good news is that this rarely comes down to effort, talent, or commitment.

Ideas move when the conditions around them are right.

In this class, we’ll look at how ideas actually move through people and relationships. We’ll explore what happens when ideas stay parked among familiar circles, how broader connections create momentum, and why certain relationships open the door for ideas to travel.

Together, we’ll look at:

• Why strong ideas can stall

• How different kinds of relationships shape momentum

• What it means to activate an ecosystem around an idea

• How small, steady shifts help ideas move without pressure or performance

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of what’s been getting in the way and what your idea needs next.

This event is online via Zoom on January 28th, 2026 from 12-1 PM Eastern Time

MEET YOUR GUIDE

I’m Dr. Amanda Crowell, a cognitive psychologist and the author of Great Work.

My work centers on two questions: What is your Great Work, and why does it matter that you do it? And once you know that, how do you get the right people to care?

I wrote Great Work, created the Great Work Journals, and founded the Network Effect Lab to help people clarify what they stand for and build the conditions where their work can be recognized, engaged with, and sustained over time.

If you want your work to land without chasing attention or turning yourself into something you’re not, you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this class really free?

  Yes. This is a free, live-on-Zoom class.

• Is this a webinar or a sales pitch?

  This is a teaching class. You’ll learn a clear framework for how ideas move through people and relationships. This work is part of my broader body of work, so there will be an option to explore it further if it feels relevant to you.

• Who is this class for?

  This class is for people with meaningful ideas or work who feel stuck between endlessly sharing, often described as “feeding the beast,” and opting out entirely to preserve their integrity. It’s especially helpful for authors, coaches, consultants, and experts whose work requires context, trust, or time to land.

• Do I need to already have an audience or large list?

  No. Most people who come to this class know they need an audience, but feel unsure how to build one without feeling out of integrity or performing in ways that don’t fit. This class is for anyone who wants their work to reach more people and wants to build an audience in a way that feels honest, sustainable, and aligned with what they care about.

• Will this be recorded?

  Yes. An audio recording of the class, along with the workbook, will be sent shortly after.

• Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

  No preparation is required. A printable workbook will be sent a few days before the class if you’d like to review or print it.

• Is this class about social media or marketing tactics?

  This class focuses on understanding how ideas spread across different kinds of relationships so you can make informed choices about how and where to share your work. Social media is part of that picture, along with newsletters, collaborations, and a host of other options.

• What will I leave with?

  You’ll leave knowing what’s been keeping your ideas from spreading and what to do differently.
