Hello Stackers!

I just wanted to check in as we approach the leadership training
session that some of the TC and community will be attending in Ann
Arbor, Michigan together [0].


First thing: fostering as much inclusion as possible.

Because of the limited amount of space, I was wondering if anyone had
any ideas of how we might be able to share the experience with anyone
not-in-the-room who is interested.

As a first step, I've set up an etherpad for each of the two days of
training [1] where attendees can jot notes if they'd like to share,
and where anyone not in the room can ask questions, potentially, about
what's happening.

I also expect a few attendees, at least, might find the training
interesting enough to blog about after the fact.

We're barred from recording the training to share with the larger
community (for now) because of contracts, etc., but I can share a
bunch of work from the ZingTrain camp related to the training we'll
have:

1. Free essays (esp. the Leadership and Visioning sections):

http://zingtrain.com/free-samples-and-enews

2. Free webinars (which contain a lot of the elements of blocks of the
training):

3. Books related to the ZingTrain leadership philosophy:

http://zingtrain.com/being-a-better-leader
and
http://zingtrain.com/managing-ourselves

If anyone has any other suggestions or questions, please respond with
input (and feel free to write me privately if you'd prefer).

Second thing: logistics for attendees

I'm going to have to do some housekeeping/organizational things with
the 19 people attending, and that will just be via private email (and
using the existing etherpad [0]). Keep an eye out for that soon!

Thanks - and I'm really looking forward to sharing this experience
with the whole community!

Sincerely,
