Facing uncertainty, recessions, systemic bias and failure is part of the complexity of 21st century life. ARETE's programs aim to sharpen your ability to forecast what comes next--a strategic skill and process. Families don't typically teach their kids predictive reasoning & schools don't provide these lessons in a way that allows you to learn & practice without consequences if you make mistakes. Our goal is to give you the same edge that mostly only elites can access today: a way to develop resilience by seeing further.
Built on a scientifically-proven system that has trained diplomats, military and government policy specialists in the US and Europe since 2014, ARETE's unique mentor-based programs are now available to the general public.
Course completion will improve your predictive accuracy: you'll learn how to break problems down more effectively; you will understand how to lead by anticipating change; and boost your preparedness in any domain requiring decision-making under uncertainty.

Hi, I'm Regina
I'm a cofounder of the company Pytho and the creator of ARETE. These programs represent over a decade's worth of my experience in government-funded research developing cognitive science-based techniques, as well as teaching their application to critical decision-making at the highest levels in both public and private sectors. I have a consistently winning track record as a top-ranked Superforecaster since 2012 in IARPA research programs. My training systems are used by governments in Europe & the US. And I have applied my foresight to entrepreneurship, creating several award-winning products that were the firsts of their kind--like the world's first digital magazine, Blender.
What program graduates say:
"In the Netherlands, over 100 employees of different government ministries, research institutes and companies were trained so far by Regina Joseph in strategic foresight. The course was very helpful in training our forecasting skills and our assessment of trends, events and risks. Regina is a skilled, passionate and enthusiastic teacher and a top superforecaster."

Master Disruption Though A Future Focus:
"Dr. Roxane Cohen Silver, a professor of psychological science, medicine and public health at the University of California, Irvine, agreed that focusing on the future rather than the past is what ultimately helps us cope with difficult experiences.
“Many people throughout their lives encounter adversity that doesn’t go their way or is unexpected,” she said. “And when people successfully navigate these new life adversities, they are likely to learn things about themselves they didn’t realize.”
