The urge for kibbutzism/communal everything is so strong within this 'community' of thinkers... the downside is obvious to me.. why not to them?
One event with a "Sally Ng" was notable which was written up as follows:
"Use journals, apps, and more to boost your productivity and balance your life!"
Sally Ng is the founder of "The Triple Effect", a consulting firm focussed on developing best practices in corporate innovation, entrepreneurial community development and digital education initiatives. Through her work she has developed several entrepreneurial centres and programs in Atlantic Canada such as "Planet Hatch" and "Startup Zone". She is also the East Coast Community Lead with Brightspark, serves on the national Board of Directors for the Community Foundations of Canada [CFC] and is a Lieutenant in the Canadian Forces."
Sackville Commons is hiring now - is the Felthammer [Julia] moving away to something more compelling...
