We’re keeping the investment low so it’s easy to say yes and we all have just enough skin in the game to show up powerfully.

\n\n

Our mission for this event is to create the space for massive clarity and power during this tumultuous time in the tech world.

\n\n

What's one powerful thing we can do amidst this uncertainty?

\n\n

Tap into our FORTITUDE!

\n\n

So, for the first part of this event, Rob and I will be talking about:
\n-What exactly is fortitude, anyway?
\n-Why fortitude is so important right now (the obvious and non-obvious reasons)
\n-How to tap into your fortitude (even amidst the chaos and evil)
\n-What potential success lies ahead once you harness the power of your fortitude?

\n\n

You’re gonna wanna take notes for this training so show up ready to soak it up!

\n\n

And then, after the training, we’ll do an AMA.

\n\n

Ask me anything. Ask Rob anything.

\n\n

Really, anything.

\n\n

We can’t promise we’ll be able to give you the best recipe for sourdough bread (not our area of expertise)...but we can have fun with it…

\n\n

And if you ask us about anything career- or work-related, you’ll tap into our genius zones.

\n\n

So as long as you show up coachable and open to new perspectives, you’ll get massive clarity.

\n\n

During times like this, we need to connect.

\n\n

We need to stand together.

\n\n

Margaret Mead was right:
\n“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

\n\n

You’re thoughtful.

\n\n

You’re committed.

\n\n

Together, we WILL change the tech world.

\n\n

Your team needs you right now.

\n\n

Your fellow tech brothers and sisters need you right now.

\n\n

Your family needs you right now.

\n\n

Tap into your power - your FORTITUDE - and let’s make it happen!
