SUMMARY:Camp Boundless!
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Catalyst Ranch’s 15th Anniversary this year (yes\, crazy\, huh?)\, the people who made it okay to play while working – yes we did – now are going to teach you how to play during your free time. What? You know how to play? Well\, we don’t think you do – or maybe not in that boundless way you did when you were a kid. Which is why we’re bringing you Camp Boundless – Play Camp for Adults! \nOur first Camp Boundless experience will be a Day Camp held on Saturday\, November 4\, 2017 at Catalyst Ranch. \n \nIt will be a full day of face-to-face games\, activities and three rounds of Play Sessions where campers will get to try their hand at activities such as cranky-scroll puppetry\, astral travel & meditation\, magic tricks\, drawing Cosplay\, Argentine tango\, macrame\, sketching people\, Polish paper cutting (wycinanki)\, ethnic embroidery\, a cappella singing\, circus arts\, Native American crafts\, Bollywood dance\, image transfers with embroidery\, DIY safety pin bracelets\, writing a children’s book and many more surprises!

And definitely no work talk! \nWe encourage you to bring your best friend\, husband/wife\, partner\, boyfriend/girlfriend\, your mom and dad or come on your own. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to spend quality time with them while you both learn something new together. It’s also a great chance to revisit the best parts of our childhood day camps or away camps where we had a chance to try various activities\, found new passions and hobbies and made lots of new friends. The old-fashioned way – in real life – no digital interference. \n  \nUnleash your boundless energy!\n \nDate:  Saturday\, November 4\, 2017 \nTimeframe:  9:00am – 5:30pm \nLocation:  Catalyst Ranch\, 656 W.

SUMMARY:End of Summer Means Ignite Chicago is Back!
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up and Be Heard!\n \nIgnite is a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have a burning idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with their hometown crowd. \nSpeaking at Ignite is an unforgettable experience. You step up to the mic. Your palms sweat. You can hear the thump of your blood rushing. Your voice cracks for an instant and then you launch into a rant for 300 straight seconds\, wearing your passion on your sleeve\, barely pausing to breathe. The crowd goes wild. \nIgnite Chicago is open to everyone. All talks are 5 minutes (20 slides x 15 seconds/slide). \n \nThere is no theme for Ignite. You can talk about virtually anything as long as you can show us your passion for it. What’s the thing you most geek out about? What’s the topic of conversation that quickens your pulse and sets your toe a-tappin’? That is what we want to hear you speak about. \nAll speakers get equal time and equal billing. All talks are 5 minutes. You create 20 slides\, and we set them up to auto-advance every 15 seconds. \nWant to speak?\nThe audience at Ignite is generous and patient. They know the Ignite format is difficult\, and they realize you might be an absolute beginner at public speaking. Don’t worry – they’ve got your back. You’re giving them your passion and your vulnerability\, and they love you for that. You won’t find a more appreciative audience at any other event. \n\n\nSome people think Ignite is about self-help talks. It isn’t. Nobody wants to hear a preachy pep talk. We’re already “good enough and smart enough\,” so let’s keep this about you and your passionate ideas. \nFinally\, we’re serious about the no pitching thing. We know that sometimes a speaker must mention their profession in order to give their talk context\, which is totally fine. But Ignite is not the place to tout your organization or to troll for clients. \nClick the logo below for tickets

SUMMARY:Personal and Professional Productivity in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Personal and Professional Productivity in the Digital Age with Amanda Neely\n \nAre you… \n\ndrowning in piles?\nfeeling overwhelmed?\nunder-valued?\nin over your head?\n\nIs your life characterized by… \n\nbusyness?\ntoo much stuff to do?\ntoo many ideas that never get accomplished?\n\nStop taking this productivity tip and that efficiency trick and never making progress. Learn to develop a productivity system from two local\, social entrepreneurs who have become experts at productivity. \nRunning a nonprofit and a business\, Brandon and Amanda Neely\, owners of Overflow Coffee Bar\, L3C\, had to figure out how to be productive and keep their sanity in the process. They were able to create tactics and overcome the obstacles of being overwhelmed. They were able to control their inbox rather than their inbox controlling them. \nProductivity is so individualized. What works for 1 person won’t work always for another. \nDuring this workshop\, attendees will learn:\n\nThe step-by-step process for developing your own unique productivity system.\nHow to defeat the piles and the over abundance of too many options and too much on your to-do list.\nAbout the tools you need and how to control them (rather than let them control you).\nHow to setting up a digital command center.\nHow to tame your inbox instead of it eating at your time.\n\nOur Guarantee: If you implement the steps we share\, you’ll reclaim at least 2 hours each week. \nBonus Perks\n– Coffee and treats (healthy and decadent versions) for all attendees.\n– Workbook for notes during the workshop and post-workshop implementation.\n– After the workshop\, we’ll send you a video version to download and review as you implement.\n– A post-workshop\, half-hour strategy session with Amanda (the presenter) for additional questions and overcoming hurdles. (Must be completed within 90 days of the workshop.) \nMore details and registration are available at overflowyourproductivity.eventbrite.com \nSave $10 by registering before May 2.
