“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
― Anaïs Nin
Sharing your ideas for a business, project, or career dream can be intimidating. But how is it ever going to turn into a reality if you don't share it with others?
We're creating a supportive space for you to get feedback on an existing or budding idea. The evening will be facilitated to ensure that you have time to share your idea with the room, present 1-2 top of mind questions/asks, and meet others who want to see you succeed.
Come prepared to share a short "pitch" about your idea:
- What are you creating? / What do you want to create?
- Why this project? Why should people get excited to help you?
- What do you need help with? What feels like the biggest obstacle for you now?
The evening will be facilitated by Melissa Wong, co-founder of New Women Space who has designed and run several peer mentorship accountability accountability groups including Co:Lab, Up Speak, Doing it Doing it, WORK PARTY, and has strengthened her facilitation practice with The Design Gym. Once unsure about how to move forward with her aspirations to run a community space, she lights up at the chance to support other aspiring creators to make their idea a reality.
