SUMMARY:OfficeNinjas Admingling: Expanding Your Role
DESCRIPTION:What’s Admingling?\nNetworking for Admins and Workplace Operators in Chicago\, IL\nPowered by collective intelligence\, OfficeNinjas’ Admingling events provide admin pros and workplace operators with the time\, space\, and inspiration to grow their networks and level up their careers. Interesting venues\, unexpected discussion topics\, and delicious food and drinks are all part of Admingling’s secret sauce\, but Ninjas are the key ingredient. \nMore structured than a happy hour but more social than a workshop\, an Admingling event harnesses the power of our community’s collective intelligence. Every after-work event is unique; we work with Ninjas in each host city to pick a space that’s both comfortable and inspiring. Everything from the discussion topics to the cocktails are chosen with local perspective. Attendees share ideas\, trade tips\, and walk away with actionable solutions and a stack of new professional contacts. \n \nThis Quarter’s Theme: Expanding Your Role\nNinjas must identify what they need to stay relevant — and advocate for it.\nWant to see Darwin’s theory in action? Keep an eye on your company’s org chart. The message is simple: adapt\, evolve\, and succeed. As the workplace changes\, a Ninja must continually evaluate their role\, skill set\, and the unique value they bring to the table. \nYou sense that change is on the horizon — maybe you’re already seeing it play out at your company. In this month’s Admingling event\, we’ll discuss how Ninjas can stay ahead of the curve and gain the skills needed to remain competitive and in-demand. \n  \nEnjoy an evening of drinks\, tasty bites courtesy of City Barbecue\, and what promises to be a lively discussion!\n  \nAre you an administrative professional?! Join OfficeNinjas for their upcoming Admingling event on March 19. For more information and to register\, see https://officeninjas.com/admingling-in-chicago/.\n  \n \nOfficeNinjas® recognizes admins and workplace operators for the curious\, engaged\, forward-thinking professionals they are. We exist to provide vital educational content\, vendor vetting\, networking events\, and industry insights to ensure they have every opportunity to lead a valued and fulfilling professional life. \n  \n\nSee more public offerings at Catalyst Ranch by clicking the logo above!

SUMMARY:CreativeMornings: Breakfast and a Talk\, with Shilpa Alva
DESCRIPTION:CreativeMornings: Breakfast and a Talk\, with Shilpa Alva\nMarch 29\, 8:30am – 10:00am\n \n  \nCreativeMornings organizes stimulating talks over coffee and nosh\, always for FREE and open to everyone. This month the Chicago chapter of this international breakfast lecture series for the creative community comes to Catalyst Ranch\, giving the mic to Shilpa Alva\, Founder and Executive Director of Surge for Water. \n \nIn 2008\, CreativeMornings was born out of a desire for an ongoing\, accessible event for New York’s creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone. \nToday\, attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee\, friendly people\, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent\, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. \nFrom design legends to hometown heroes\, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. CreativeMornings‘ Chicago team is seven years strong and host at Catalyst Ranch for the second time with Shilpa Alva. \nCreativeMornings remains free thanks to the support of local partners\, generous venues\, and longterm global partners. \nEveryone is welcome. \nEveryone is creative. \nJust register beforehand to reserve your spot. \nClick below to RSVP\, beginning Monday March 25!\n \n\nCreativeMornings March Theme: Water\nIt’s the main source of all life. The lifeblood element that makes up 60% of our bodies.\nIt’s the liquid that we don’t drink enough of\, yet waste effortlessly.\nIt’s home to millions of species\, mysteries\, and undiscovered knowledge.\nWe know more about the stars in the sky than the depths of our oceans.\nWe can use it to save lives. If used foolishly\, it can take lives.\nWe think there is an abundance\, yet only one percent can be touched. If we don’t protect our waters\, then what will happen to life? \nAbout the Speaker\nShilpa Alva is the Founder and Executive Director of Surge for Water\, a Chicago based nonprofit organization that has provided safe water and sanitation solutions to 1 million people in 11 countries. The spark that led Shilpa to the founding of Surge\, started when she was just 7 years old\, while visiting extended family in India. However\, after graduating from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in Chemical Engineering\, she joined the Corporate world. From here\, she enjoyed rapid early career success\, earned her MBA\, and continued up the Corporate ladder. \nEventually\, Shilpa came to the hard realization that she was not living in true alignment with her purpose. This led to Surge’s eventual founding and to her leaving a successful career and secure lifestyle. This leap of faith has lead to great things\, both through the joy she experiences in her daily purpose-driven life and through the communities who benefit from Surge’s work every single day. In addition to her passion for safe water and global development\, Shilpa loves to travel to new countries\, read\, practice yoga\, meditate\, and dance offbeat. \nEveryone is creative. \nA creative life requires bravery and action\, honesty and hard work. We are here to support you\, celebrate with you\, and encourage you to make the things you love. \nWe believe in the power of community. We believe in giving a damn. We believe in face-to-face connections\, in learning from others\, in hugs and high-fives. \nWe bring together people who are driven by passion and purpose\, confident that they will inspire one another\, and inspire change in neighborhoods and cities around the world. \nEveryone is welcome. \n \n\n\nSee more public offerings at Catalyst Ranch by clicking the logo below.
