Join People Who Thrive, a monthly gathering for people going after their goals, in community.
At each meeting, a speaker talks for 10 minutes about a time in their life or their career when they asked for help, & receiving that help had a transformative impact. Then, everyone has one minute to address the group & share their elevator pitch, their ask (something they need help with), & an offer (a way they can be of service to others). When the floor is open for networking, it's easy to walk right up to someone you can help or someone who can help you & strike up a conversation.
Hyper-independence is overrated; interdependence is how we make things happen.
January's speaker is Holly Listmann. Holly is a research & innovation leader with a knack for answering complex questions. She is passionate about how new tech can improve daily life, drive value, & advance our health & wellness.
Holly brings a multi-disciplinary perspective from her background in design, psychology, & economics, & has led research for Google, Weight Watchers, & Deloitte. At WeightWatchers she worked across many initiatives, including community -- building on the company's origin story in the founders living room.
Come ready with your elevator pitch, your "ask," & an "offer" with the group, & quickly connect with people you can help & people who want to help you. Enjoy a self-serve cocktail & mocktail bar while meeting other go-getters who know they can't do it alone.
After the event, you can join the private People Who Thrive slack channel, where everyone can re-state their elevator pitch, ask, & offer after the event, making it easy to follow-up on new relationships & opportunities.
If the event ticket cost prevents you from being able to register, email event organizer Liz Winston at lizwinston2@gmail.com; three tickets are reserved for anyone who does not have the ability to pay at this time.
