Weekly @ 11am EST | Live from NYC
A weekly conversation with Next Jump Co-CEOs
Charlie Kim and Meghan Messenger about the stuff no one teaches you:
how to train your mind, make better decisions, and lead through uncertainty.
Every session is shaped in real time by what's happening that week—no polished slides, no scripts, and no rehearsed answers. Just honest conversations about leadership, judgment, and the messy realities of being human.
Drawing on more than 30 years of building Next Jump, Charlie and Meghan explore everything from self-awareness and emotional intelligence to conflict, feedback, AI, health, relationships, and the psychology behind high performance.
Their goal isn't to give you more information—it's to help you think differently.

Charlie and Meghan have spent more than three decades building Next Jump. Together, they've built two businesses—Perks at Work, serving millions of employees worldwide, and a leadership practice that has helped thousands of organizations strengthen judgment, leadership, and human performance.
Their work earned Harvard's recognition of Next Jump as one the top learning organizations globally featured in An Everyone Culture for pioneering the concept of a Deliberately Developmental Organization (DDO)—a company built on the belief that personal growth shouldn't happen outside of work, but through it.
In March 2020, Leadership in Practice began as a way to support employees, clients, friends, and family through the uncertainty of the pandemic has since grown into a global community gathering online each week and in person every Thursday at Next Jump's headquarters in Chelsea, NYC.
Meet Charlie
Co-CEO, Next Jump
Charlie Kim co-founded Next Jump from his college dorm room in 1994 and has spent the last 30+ years rethinking what a business can be.
Raised in Nigeria by a pastor mother and a father whose research earned multiple Nobel Prize nominations, Charlie grew up surrounded by two very different models of impact: serving people and solving hard problems.
Charlie believes if you have to "give back," you've taken too much and to build doing good into the business from the very beginning.
When he's not coaching, you'll probably find him tending the rooftop garden or planning his next great meal. He believes business is one of the greatest forces for good—when it's built the right way.
Do the little things that allow others to do the great things they are meant to do— Better Me + Better You = Better Us

Meet Meghan
Co-CEO, Next Jump
Meghan Messenger joined Next Jump as a door-to-door sales intern in 1998. When the company nearly collapsed after 9/11—shrinking from 150 employees to just four—she stayed. Helping rebuild Next Jump shaped her belief that the hardest moments often become the greatest opportunities for growth.
Raised in a blue-collar family, Meghan learned early that no job is beneath you. Working as a maid and watching her father climb telephone poles instilled a deep respect for hard work. At
Next Jump, she discovered something just as important: everyone is capable of more than they think.
That belief led her to pioneer No LHF—No Lying, Hiding, or Faking—and create a culture where people don't have to pretend. Meghan is known for sharing her own struggles first, believing leaders earn trust by showing others how to learn.
A mom of two boys, lifelong dancer, and unapologetic fan of '90s hip-hop, Meghan believes leadership starts by filling your own cup first—because you can't help others from empty.
