Full Event Description: 

Stretch your limits, learn proven frameworks to create change, and connect with leaders building a future that works for everyone.
Join us February 2016 in Santa Monica, CA.

StartingBloc brings you together with local change leaders and social innovators from across the world for 5 days of workshops that hone your leadership skills.

Most importantly, you join a community of passionate leaders who have each others’ backs. Our Fellows consistently connect each other to opportunities, jobs, and mentors, they team up on projects, and they hold each other accountable.

At the LA ’16 Institute, you’ll learn directly from experienced changemakers, work with proven frameworks for creating change, take part in workshops designed to stretch your limits, and build relationships with life-long allies.

Speakers and Agenda: 

An Overview of the Agenda Day 1 | Off the Bloc Fellows set goals for their Institute experience, get to know the other Fellows, and learn about Transformative Action: a set of proven tactics for creating change. Day 2 | Owning your Vision Fellows focus on their vision for themselves and for the world. They learn Polarity Mapping, explore how to craft a compelling story, pitch to the whole room at the Ideas Marketplace, and practice asking for, and offering, a helping hand. Day 3 | Taking Action This day is about tackling problems through relentless iteration. Fellows learn Rapid Prototyping techniques by applying them to challenges brought in by ten local impact-driven organizations. The Social Innovation Scrimmage is put on in partnership with ReWork. Day 4 | Different Perspectives On this day, Fellows explore some of the ways that the “rubber meets the road.” They engage in dialogue with accomplished change leaders, who stand for what they believe in different ways. Day 5 | Moving Forward What is it to create lasting change? How do you craft a career worth having? And how do you make the most of the StartingBloc community from here on out?
