Unfortunately, 2 weeks later, COVID became a reality and the rest of our plans for 2020 were shelved.
Now it’s 2024.
And we've chosen to do something different. Afew months ago we invited anyone, anywhere to host an event on Leap Day. As of today there are ~50 gatherings planned for February 29th, 2024. And of course, I’m even planning one of the events in Chicago again — thinking through a schedule, space, food, and the overarching experience.
Most importantly, all of the hosts are thinking through the people. Their hopes and ideas. Their creative edges or unspoken ambitions. The changes they want to see in their workplaces, careers, and communities.
Because that’s what this is all about.
Growth doesn’t just happen in a classroom, or a workshop, or a presentation. Experiences aren’t just “big” occurrences that require tons of time and resources. You don’t need someone else’s permission to Leap. It starts today.
And Leap year is just as fascinating today as it was back in 2012 — the extra day in the calendar year, the simple naming that’s built-in, the cadence of it all. Why not try to use it for good? To spark learning, change, community, and growth?
All you need next is a group of people, a starting point, a plan, and some nudges along the way.
How about you?
Where were you 12 years ago? Where are you today? And what’s your next Leap in your life or work?
All signs point towards starting soon. We'll all be in your corner.
Happy Wednesday,
Victor and the Ei Team
PS: If you’re available on the 29th and want to join our virtual Leap session from 1:00 to 2:30pm CT, register here. We’d love to have you.
