Learnings from ‘non HQ’

The Underbosses are currently canvassing for views and taking in information.
Chris on what it’s like raising Linky kids and how to measure their success.

LinkyBrains Dinner
Tomorrow is the first LinkyBrains dinner. It’s invite only with eight women and eight men who are committed to LinkyBrains and can help shape it and take it to the next level. They will be meeting to discuss what a month it has been and what is next.
It gives Alex, Chris, Doug & Suki an opportunity to talk about why the mission is so meaningful and how they’ve overcome the challenges so far. It also provides the platform for everyone to talk about what they want from the #LinkyBrain movement, the things they want to create, the help they need and what they want to lead.

Quote of the Week
“The net result of this ‘truth’, in this mini-collective, is one of togetherness. There has been an outpouring of vulnerability, of people not being afraid to step up and out and say “I’m a bit different”. And rather than being embarrassed or afraid, being proud of it. If the only thing that comes out of this is people being more open, collaborative, and slightly less afraid of being who they are, then we’ve already won the Oscar.”
This weeks quote is from Phil Roberts, check out the rest here.
