In the aftermath of the altMBA, I mentioned that I needed to have a conversation about the profound impact the workshop had on my perspective. \u00a0I had a chance to do that very thing with 11 amazing people on Saturday night (Feb 27). \u00a0It was a chance to Leap<\/em>. \u00a0It was a chance to try my hand at being an Impresario. \u00a0A chance to see if I could put some interesting altMBA concepts on the table, and then to connect the dots and explain why all of this matters to me. \u00a0It was a chance to try something that might work OR might not work.<\/p>\n

Below is an edited write up I shared with the altMBA class. \u00a0There are some altMBA specifics that I don’t want to share here, so I’m editing it a touch, because honestly, I’m hoping that some of you will eventually dive in to apply for the program. \u00a0I don’t want to spoil anything for you. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0But it’s Leap day today. \u00a0And the altMBA has me all abuzz with\u00a0Leaping<\/em>. \u00a0So I wanted to share a bit about this quirky conversation here on my blog. \u00a0This was a leap:<\/p>\n

These emails I sent to my event attendees do a pretty good job of giving an overview of how I led this 2-hour event. \u00a0I’ll provide a summary with some explanation below:

Summary:
\n<\/strong>My wife and I hosted an audience of 10 people in our home to have a conversation about what I learned and experienced in the altMBA. \u00a0A 2-hour conversation based event. \u00a0I wanted to share with them, but I also wanted to make it as interactive as possible – as is the altMBA way: let\u2019s learn by doing. \u00a0Overall, the event was successful. \u00a0People did have a chance to hammer for a short moment on their own goals, we did a creative writing exercise together, and then we spent most of our time talking about some of the key topics, concepts and themes from the altMBA. \u00a0We started on time. \u00a0We shipped. \u00a0And we wrapped it up on time too. \u00a0[edited]<\/span><\/p>\n
