Why it Works:
This interactive event involves everyone while helping the spotlight person make a leap or see an opportunity they couldn't imagine on their own. If you've done this before, you know the powerful impact it can have.

We cultivate true community interaction, where others can ask clarifying questions about the challenge and then share ideas to help the "spotlight" move forward with support and clarity.
Weekly Coworking sessions. In the first 5 minutes we state our goals for the hour, then turn off audio (and video if you like) to get to work. During the last 5 minutes we celebrate what we accomplished.
Community chat: A message chat on LinkedIn to stay connected and discuss things that come up as we write. Comment on co-writers posts, and generally offer support to one another.
