Fun article I wrote

How others can help me

See 'how I can help others'. Doesn't this forum literally have 'altruism' in the name?

How I can help others

  1. Come to the Vancouver Summit some of us are organizing!
  2. Listen or watch my podcast (audio) (video)
  3. Get clear on how you can make a difference with my coaching.

Such a thought provoking post. Each of this has to confront this at some soul level. Thank you Alex for putting this idea down.

So I was procrastinating publishing on our Summit Retrospective, and then I saw this article.

The event was so amazing, and though I can, y'know be rational about it, seeing this post gives me a little fire to put it out there sooner!

Love this:

To keep your eyes on the real prize takes constant effort. 

When I organized a recent EA event, here's what I had down for the list of 'stakeholders', ranked from highest to lowest priority:

1. The least-empowered people and animals in the world

2.....

3.....

x. Core organizers, partners

y. Local EA Community

I came to one, it was great! Thanks Joseph for your tireless organizing. 

Cool post, I've had the same feeling but didn't think of a good word for it.

Hey Amelia! Cool to see you out here. Excited for the Summit! Excited to see where you'll go with your talent and knowledge.

Hi @Martina Pepiciello , these are awesome! Would it be okay if we used some of these in promotional materials for our EA Summit in Vancouver?

If EA had a pokemon, which would it be? Evee, right? as in EV?

I think it's the old way to say Aotearoa. I dunno, seems like a place to have new zeal about things.

The link to EA Arabic isn't working for me. It's showing a giant 404-looking error image.
