Dear Community Friends:

I have heard from many of you about your great summer experiences. We are looking forward to connecting and catching up. We have some ideas about upcoming events and in building “power with” together.

As we move into September, would you like to explore deeper our commitment to mutual practice, shared growth, and collaborative leadership?

The last year has built a great foundation for The Social Intelligence Lab community.

What could or would you like to contribute to or collaborate on with this community?
What is your objective for joining a safe community to practice "power with"?
What would you like to experience, achieve, learn and grow by joining our practice community?

One of the things Anna and I learned during the summer at the Power of Understanding book salon is that there is a quiet revolution in many fields. We have had participation from many diverse individuals from across various interest areas and expertise. The common thread we all have is an interest in dismantling the rigid paradigms of dealmaking and step into a safe and productive space of deal makers who are anchored and prepared to get what they need.

A theme that emerged across every conversation was: Powerlessness is a choice, and true success begins with practice.

​

Here is how you can play an active role in shaping the momentum for September:
