Breaking the Silence

In this “Explore Our World” post, I’m sharing my admiration for a group of people who enthusiastically leap into challenges and invite the rest of us to join them as they improve the world one big idea at a time. I hope you’ll enjoy meeting these magnificent millennials!

In this “Events that Inspire” post, I take inspiration from one of the largest “events” I will ever attend in my life, Burning Man. The principles that govern the community both on and off the playa got me thinking about how Shalon has been structured around a similar set of principles and what those mean to me as a founder and to the organization as it continues to grow. Enjoy!

In the latest “Explore our World” I’m diving into how the Four Hs give entrepreneurs the foundation and support they need to be successful.

In the latest “Events that Inspire”, I’m featuring Amplifier’s West Coast Convening—a full day focused on how to bring people with shared values and interests together to amplify their potential for positive impact. I’m delighted to share a little about the event–which was fabulous–and some of what I learned in the hopes that it’s valuable to my network and encourages more people to connect their communities and their values in order to strengthen their giving power.

In this post, I’m reflecting on the Hack Mental Health Reverse Hackathon, an amazing event held in SF in early June. Throughout the course of the event, we explored mental health and the impact that our daily activities have on our happiness and our ability to live full lives. We all have hard days when it feels like we’re bearing the weight of the world alone and it’s uplifting to know that there are communities that are growing and providing opportunities to check in with ourselves, check in on each other and make positive change in our world.
