SUMMARY:Hacking HR Meetup: Collab Lab
DESCRIPTION:The Hacking HR Chicago chapter convenes at Catalyst Ranch for their Collab Lab meetup event! \n \nIn this VUCA environment\, the old adage rings true: The only constant is change. Our ability to effectively navigate it\, depends largely on asking meaningful questions. \nBut how can that be? As children\, many of us learned that the answers are what’s important. So\, not surprisingly as professionals\, we often shy away from asking or being witness to uncomfortable questions. Regrettably\, this nearly universally acquired discomfort with uncomfortable questions creates an answer-centric world rattled with blind spots for all of us. \nThis session explores how to escape the dangerous blind spot of “not knowing what we don’t know” by learning to unlock our innate curiosity and push past the discomfort that will help us craft better solutions for our most challenging problems. Join this workshop to learn and practice how to become a better questioner at both work and in life. \nFacilitators\nChris Broderick Founder & President\, B.near Global \nDafna Aaronson\, Founder\, Be Sports Minded \nHeidi Glickman\, Consultant and Executive Coach

SUMMARY:Brainstorming: Friendships - real people\, real conversations
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Benjamin Ritter brings the Brainstorming series to Catalyst Ranch to foster real conversations among real people. The evening’s theme: Friendships—from making\, sustaining\, and breaking up. \n \n\nHave you ever had an open and honest conversation with someone you didn’t know and felt completely energized? \nHave you ever wondered how to find people to discuss meaningful topics that don’t relate to sports or the weather? \nThis isn’t an event where you are given a drink ticket and thrown to the wolves. \nWe have real conversations and meet real people. \nNone of that “what do you do?” or “wow that weather outside was something”… \nThis is a brainstorm\, where people come together to think deeply and speak openly. \nBrainstorming is an event that is focused on bringing people together to talk about a specific theme\, cultivate community\, and hopefully inspire personal and professional growth. This month we are focusing on the topic of friendships. \nThe event (doors open at 6:15 PM\, to provide time for refreshments and icebreakers) consists of breakout and group brainstorming sessions and to discuss specific questions related to the theme of the event. \nBrainstorming events are limited in size to promote authentic relationships and building community. Get your ticket ASAP if you are planning to attend. \nTicket prices increase on the Monday before the event.  \n  \n— \nHosted and facilitated by:\nDr. Benjamin Ritter is a Chicago based social entrepreneur\, coach\, consultant\, mentor\, and expert in the fields of personal and professional internal leadership development. \nThroughout his career he has worked in the areas of hospitality\, the entertainment industry\, public health\, education\, childcare\, healthcare\, and personal and professional development\, constantly seeking new experiences to learn more about the world\, and himself. \nThe culmination of his previous personal\, professional\, and educational experiences led him to create Live for Yourself (LFY) Consulting\, a coaching/consulting company that is focused on helping successful professionals find more meaning at life and in work. \nLFY Consulting bases its coaching practices on the unique LIVE system\, which integrates doctoral level applied learning theory\, and curriculum and leadership development research. \nDr. Benjamin Ritter is also the host of the Live for yourself podcast and Live for Yourself events\, author of The Live for Yourself Workbook\, and The Essentials\, creator of The Breakup Supplement\, and a freelance expert and writer. \n\nSee all of Catalyst Ranch’s Public Events here!
