What It is
The members of two of my oldest and most successful Growth Cycles have independently told me that my facilitated sessions with them are about the only place—in person and/or remotely—where they have the kind of discussions we have about business, politics, family, finance, religion, relationships, technology, social mores, and the economy.
In other words, we’re talking about life and legacy with peers and people we respect.
I’ve decided to try to create a modern salon (or, for those of you who are interested in a history of the arts, an Algonquin Round Table). Historically, the salon was an informal education for women, where they were able to exchange ideas, receive and give criticism, read their own works and hear the works and ideas of other intellectuals.
This will be a salon for entrepreneurs of all kinds—inclusive and innovative.
How It Works
There will be two versions:
- Monthly meetings for a year by Zoom for 60-90 minutes with a consistent membership of the same 7-10 people, with two, optional in-person meetings over the year at sites determined by the group.
- Quarterly meetings for a year by Zoom for 90-120 minutes with a consistent membership of the same 7-10 people, with one optional in-person meeting during the year at a site determined by the group.
What I can promise, from my experience with such sessions, are invigorating discussions, great learning which can be immediately utilized in our lives and work, and long-lived relationships among group members far beyond the meetings themselves.
The Investment
There is no charge for the in person meetings but expenses are the responsibility of the members. All meetings will be recorded and distributed to members. At every meeting I’ll be introducing intellectual property and provocative challenges as well.
I will launch groups once I have a minimum of seven people and we’ll create convenient times and dates to accommodate any differing time zones and other variables.
