Project Opal
Cultivating Ethical Influence. Designing Human-Centered Systems.
Project Opal is a commitment to developing tools, frameworks, and strategies that foster positive human formation—systems of influence that elevate, empower, and enrich.
We explore education, leadership, and system design with a focus on:
Workforce Development – Preparing individuals for a future where adaptability, emotional intelligence, and ethical decision-making define success.
Distance Learning & Workshops – Equipping leaders, educators, and changemakers with tools for ethical influence, behavioral design, and meaningful engagement.
Original Research – Investigating the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and social dynamics to craft strategies that align with human dignity and agency.
Project Onyx
Deconstructing Manipulation. Exposing the Mechanics of Deceit.
Not all influence is good. Project Onyx turns a critical eye toward the tactics of coercion, deception, and psychological control that shape our politics, media, and economies.
We examine:
Dark Patterns & Psychological Warfare – How corporations, governments, and bad actors exploit cognitive biases to control behavior.
Deception & Propaganda – The digital age’s new arms race: who controls the narrative, and how?
Unethical System Design – The hidden ways institutions manipulate engagement, addiction, and dependence.
Understanding these forces is the first step to resisting them. Knowledge is armor.
