NC Learning Retreat
✨ Join in for Network Capital’s first learning retreat for a weekend of interesting people, fascinating conversations and genuine connections ✨
In the Network Capital retreat we will rediscover the history of how communities came together back in the day, with bonfires, stories and nourishing food. The larger objective is to explore what is at the back of our resumes. David Brooks contrasts resume values with eulogy values. He says,
“It occurred to me that there were two sets of virtues, the résumé virtues and the eulogy virtues. The résumé virtues are the skills you bring to the marketplace. The eulogy virtues are the ones that are talked about at your funeral — whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful. Were you capable of deep love?
We all know that the eulogy virtues are more important than the résumé ones. But our culture and our educational systems spend more time teaching the skills and strategies you need for career success than the qualities you need to radiate that sort of inner light. Many of us are clearer on how to build an external career than on how to build inner character.”
On Network Capital, we want to help you build your category of one not only in terms of what you bring to the workplace but also the values you live by. In this 3 day retreat, we will enjoy myriad outdoor adventures curated by Laidback, a venture by one of our subscribers Nakul.
Through these adventures and activities, we will embark upon the journey from Zoom conferences to the real world. We will learn the art of storytelling not about a third person or an external experience but about our larger vision.
In the Network Capital “I don’t know what I want to do with my life” Fellowship, we participate in an activity called “Life Maps” where we reflect on our past and design a life for our future. There are no guarantees in life. No one can know with certainty that their life will turn out a certain way but certitude is not the point of this exercise.
We get so busy with our day-to-day lives that we forget to understand why we are doing what we are doing. The Network Capital retreat will change that by planning a long-form “Life Maps” over the retreat.
We call it the learning retreat because learning about ourselves is the ultimate super power. That’s something we rarely get time for because we are constantly distracted, running from pillar to post. Our inner convictions, our strengths, our most vulnerable moments together define who we turn out to be. We want to propel you to rediscover yourself.
We will consider the retreat successful if you go back with cherished friendships, deeper knowledge about your selves and ideas for connecting with others in order to add specific value to them. Your personal and professional growth will be a natural byproduct.
There will be 4 workshops organized by fellow subscribers
