We have an exciting and different sort of program coming this month to the Circle of Fellows.

During the recent IABC World Conference, Brad Whitworth and Mark Schumann led a highly rated interactive session that examined how we use time to positively impact worlds we hope to change, lives we want to touch, and differences we need to make. Brad and Mark will reprise much of that session — joined by Alice Brink and Jane Mitchell — as the five of us talk about what we are doing with our time.

Here’s how Brad and Mark describe the upcoming conversation: “We fill our days fighting the realities of time. Maybe it’s time to stop the clock, take time to reflect, and recommit to what we contribute to make ours a better world.”

The two will also unveil the first draft of a “time manifesto” that emerged from the session at the conference. The August Circle of Fellows participants will be invited to contribute their ideas to this living crowd-sourced document during the session and will receive a copy of the manifesto afterward.

So be sure to join us next month for the Circle of Fellows. It will be time well spent.
