Hi Friend,

Allow me to drop into your inbox one more time (I know I sent you the Sunday Note yesterday...I just realized I didn't share this with ya).

Tomorrow night, I'll facilitate another connection experience called:

The Gift of Attention and the Power of Connection.

Here's an "about" video. And, here's a Signup link.

Every 75-90 days, folks attend one of these experiences. For those of us who are going to gather a few times over the next several weeks, it gives us a chance to practice. With friends. Via zoom.

Lemmie know if you know someone who'd like to go. (Or, just send them those links!)

PS: Here’s what one leader from the Gift and Power workshop:

"I was energized by the experience and messaging from the Gift and Power workshop. It was a bit like active meditation, which works better for me, because I need more structure and action. Taking the time to reflect on the day and the moments that you forgot was a great exercise and enlightening that other people experience similar frustrations and joys…and that we often keep moving to the next thing, vice soaking it in. I immediately shared the experience with another Air Force friend and leader because I think he would be excited to participate, but also to share my hope that this could become more widely available. “It’s the people” and “serving something larger than myself” are often the responses when members are asked why they serve; we must work on those people connections to have the competitive edge for recruiting and retaining top talent from a more lucrative private sector, which also provides more power for members to manage their careers. Events like this one should be more widely available for commanders and leaders of teams to tap into and use on Wingman days, or offsites, as we work to connect in a highly transactional environment."

Thank you!

Katie
