Social connection, minus the boardroom
We’ve also seen great momentum around our Chapter Socials this month - including rock climbing and pickleball! Less small talk. More movement.
These events have been massive hits - and they’re a brilliant reminder that connection doesn’t always need a keynote speaker or a slide deck. Sometimes it’s just about doing something fun, together.
More of this to come - including our EO Family Day at Strike on 22 March. If you haven’t registered yet, bring the crew along.
Wonderwork with Brad Montague
One of the standout moments happened this week, hosting Brad Montague - New York Times best-selling author, illustrator, and creator of Kid President.
Brad spoke about the power of wonder - and how creativity, collaboration and compassion all start with perspective.
One quote that hit me hard (the researcher in me loved this): “Show me some data and I’ll be informed. Tell me a story and I am transformed.”
As leaders, if we don’t tell the story - someone else will. And they’ll likely distort it.
Stories create shared meaning. They build connection. They shape culture.
But more than that, Brad reminded us that children - and entrepreneurs - aren’t problems to be solved. They’re wonders to behold. As a dad, that one landed deeply.
Somewhere between childhood and quarterly targets, we forget how to look at the world with curiosity instead of control.
Maybe that’s the invitation for this month: Where can you inject a little more fun? A little more perspective? A little more wonder?
It might just make you a better leader.
