Fellow-hosted Skill Sessions in April

Let's co-create the Fellowship!

This April, we have the opportunity to hand the Fellowship over to you for the topics you really want to dive into! This might help your peer project and is completely optional!

To support you in your work and to make connections for you in the space, we’ll let you direct the Skill Sessions for April. We will help you bring in the speakers and organizations that you want to network with and get more information from, or support you sharing your own experience.

These Skill Sessions could be scheduled for when we have Community Calls that are directed by you (so every other Wednesday). These Wednesday spaces could be used by you to host a conversation with a leader in the space. Or to explore a specific topic you are interested in learning about more. Use the time wisely.

NOTE: Skill Sessions can be scheduled for any time that works for you and the speaker and then you'd invite your peers to also listen in.

🎪Organizing

There are 2 options:

A - You can design & host a session yourself, sharing from your experience B - You can propose an organization/speaker you would like to hear. We'll help invite the organizations and speakers you are interested in networking with, and you could even host this person yourself (introduce, moderate, Q&A).

Please complete this form soon so we will have plenty of time to schedule your session and/or invite the speakers. Remember that outreach can take time, and we will need to coordinate with each speaker's (or your) busy schedule. We're confident many will want to join our program and with your help providing sufficient details we will be able to make the process easy.

Timeline

Feb - suggest speakers and/or sign up to host a session March - review and invite speakers and/or prepare your session Apr - host skills sessions to complement your learnings May - share learnings with our community

Information for hosts

We created a calendar invite for each session. I set it for 1 to 1.5 hours, so there is plenty of time, but it can be as short as you want it to be. If you feel like using the remaining time for networking, please do so. Also, please check the title and description. We can update this with any suggestions you have.

We'll leave it up to you to host the session however you'd like. If you want to create breakout rooms, one of you will first have to claim host privileges. To do so, use the code 217993 in the participant tab (click 'claim host'). You can also use the Zoom room whenever you'd like for coffee chats or meetings for your projects: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2032032203?pwd=VZufNZHbjysINer9wKNjNBYjiUBgXZ.1

The event will automatically start recording in our cloud so we can share the recording with the Fellows who cannot join live. Please let the recording continue on its own, and we'll trim off any extra time at the beginning and end.

Feel free to invite people using the calendar invite. The session can be as open as you would like it to be, with others in your network benefiting from the workshop. We hope the session can benefit you and your work, as much as it will help the fellows learn.

Finally, we'll created social media announcements that you can use to promote your participation and co-creation. We'll publish this announcement ourselves on the day of your session. You can publish them whenever you would like.

Thank you again for your contribution. I know that with your help, we're living up to our principle of making the Fellowship co-creative to the interests of our Fellows. You are helping them go deeper into topics that are helpful to their careers.

Please let me know soon if there are any issues or additions. We will make updates to the sessions till the end of this month and then lock in the details so the Fellows can plan their time accordingly.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!
