Courses Trail Map shows a landscape of hills and a plain, with trails branching among them. The start is at the left, and two outcomes are at the right (at the end of the trails). The outcomes are part of a shaded area containing the Org building, people talking and collaborating about ideas, and the mmSkyline and help/harm tracking alongside them. The first set of Outcomes come directly from the first course, Listening Deeply, and include "Create trust relationships with stakeholders," "Support team members in their growth," and "Reduce conflict, collaborate lucidly across teams." The second set of Outcomes occur after all the courses have been studied, including Listening Deeply, Making mmSkylines Part 1 and Part 2, Finding Thinking Styles, and the capstone course Frame Your study. Little people show up hiking along the paths in the trail map, having fun, getting insights, and shifting their mindsets.

These candies each have layers within them.
Listening Deeply (foundation course)

New course videos complement the book. Listening is the foundation for inclusivity and for new opportunities to support more people. Having clear techniques for understanding a person’s interior cognition helps you consider how well you are helping people achieve their purpose.

Making mmSkylines Part 1: Concepts & Summaries

Powerful new course videos & materials. Bias spreads into your “insights” when you skip analysis of transcripts. Preserve the perspective of what people convey through two-step data synthesis. It’s clear, simple, and even has comics. Everyone can do it!

Making mmSkylines Part 2: Emergent Patterns

Unparalleled course reveals unbiased patterns. Typical affinity groups are based on nouns, sequence, observations, or research attributes. You can create a more representative understanding using people’s focus of mental attention. Your org will see clearer opportunities as a result. By the end of this course you will have an example mental model skyline.

three cartoon sketched heads with eyes closed. Their minds show as a tangled scribble in their cranium. Each head represents one thinking style. As such, each mind has a small, distinct part of tangled scribble colored a different color.
Finding Thinking Styles (brand new course! 🎉available now!)

Thinking styles are the archetypes behind all characters you use in scenarios or journey maps. Thinking styles are deeply researched; characters are imagined. Thinking Styles vary by people’s purpose, like various mindset hats people wear.

The second Practice Group begins 21-Aug-2026, for the Australia/Asia/Indi time zones. This course is bundled with the Practice Group, or you can take it self-paced, here.

About

three framed pictures, implying that each study has a well-thought-out frame. The frame is the person's purpose. In these frames, three different size pumpkins show, which are a reference for the different sizes of people's purpose you can study. The analogy is used in the course itself.
Framing Your Study (capstone course)

(archive version; get coaching) Once you have taken the earlier courses in this series, you will know enough to start a study of your own. This course will help you make careful choices. It starts with figuring out what knowledge your organization needs, the purpose your users have, and the framework for a study. In the end you will have a plan for recruiting, listening, and adjusting.

New version of Framing Your Study will be available in 2026 or 2027.

Workshopping

Together, let’s go through something you might be facing as a team. Bring your issues, and we’ll figure out how to use Data Science that Listens to help get things heading toward a future where outcomes improve, both for your org and for a greater variety of people you serve.

Workshopping is like extended coaching sessions.

Example topics we can workshop together:

  • Reduce friction between teams (or roles) using concept types
  • Build trust relationships with leaders using listening deeply
  • Map how valuable outcomes are for people using your solutions
  • Collaborate with other teams using a mental model skyline + thinking styles
  • Review your data synthesis together
  • Improve your deep listening technique

Workshopping can be flexible. We can start with one 2-hour session. Or we can start with a whole day together, in-person. Then we can add workshopping time as needed until we solve the issue.

Certification

You will qualify for Certification in Data Science That Listens (also called Problem Space Research) if you fulfill both of the following requirements.

  1. You complete all 5 Self-paced Courses (60-70 hours of short videos plus quizzes & exercises)
  2. You actively participate during the Practice Group meetings for each of the 5 courses. (Your attendance might be subject to real life schedule disruptions, so there’s some flexibility built in.)

This is how Indi has a chance to assess your level of understanding.

A Practice Group for a different course is offered every few months, so getting Certification takes more than a year. If you need to get through all 6 courses and be certified within a year, you can schedule a Certification Call with Indi for each course that did not appear as a Practice Group that year.

Upon Certification, your name will be added to the list of graduates, and you will be able to add a credential to your LinkedIn or Xing profile. There is also a printable, signed PDF certificate available.


If you have completed less than all 5 courses, YAY! To show people what you accomplished, you are free to list the courses you completed on your LinkedIn profile. But there is no “certification” from Indi for individual courses.

  • It is coherent between what it says it offers and how it is delivered. You will finally understand how to collect good raw material, how to analyze it in a rigorous and systemic way, and understand why there are no shortcuts to get down to business.
    Hands-on and (real) knowledge transfer:
    • Both oral explanations and presentations are detailed to ensure we understand the nuances.
    • Carefully designed exercises for learning purposes and knowledge transfer.
    • There is no redesign of the canvas. It is simple and deep: you are going to use Excel.
    • Indi is careful to offer trigger warnings on some example topics.
    • Indi is generous with her knowledge and time.
    • Quizzes are very useful.
    • Demanding in dedication and practice, detailed exercises that lead to real and deep practice both in the self-paced course (with answers included), as well as in the Practice Group sessions.
    • I love it when there is a broader explanation, context, theory and then the step-by-step details of the process.
    If you want to have a (complete) vision and at the same time go down into the mud, dedicating time to it, this is for you. If what you are looking for is a mainstream course on research and quickly, this is not for you.

  • I absolutely loved the course and especially live sessions. It is a life changing experience. I’m going to recommend people who work for me take your class and working sessions. I believe this would contribute to their professional development and shape their view of the world in profound ways.

  • I’ve taken short online courses from renowned brands or international universities, but Indi’s course series has been the single most useful series I’ve ever taken, never mind if it didn’t have some sort of global accreditation. She takes a lot of time, energy and effort to make it useful, practical and also brings her practitioner experience to the lessons.

    More than just the learning I have received, I have been able to use the skills acquired through Indi’s training to take up paid projects that have paid enough for me to sustain my personal expenses for more than six months – no kidding :) I think this is the single most valuable impact I have seen deriving from taking Indi’s training. My clients have commented that the research approach is valuable and they have changed the way they do their business because of the research insights shared.

    Then there’s the Slack community that you’ll have access to, forever. I often learn a lot from the community even after completing the course, and they always have my back whenever I have questions in my work. Some have even accompanied me through online dry runs of my talk! I really appreciate this community and I have Indi to thank for her amazing work and heart :)
