As it's a short event, latecomers are not entertained. I will update the live location in the comments at 12.20 pm We may move/walk 10 mins after the beginning of the event.

Deep Work - Truth as a Trampoline

Thu, Aug 27, 9:00 AM

From Deep Work 🌿

**THEME** At this Deep Work we'll explore **how honest feedback can launch people higher.** "Truth as a Trampoline" invites us to learn how to deliver **reality checks** that become springboards, using **honesty to elevate rather than deflate**. **TIMING** \*Please arrive by 7:00PM for a 7:15PM start.
