I’m excited to be speaking at this year’s QB Connect conference in San Jose, CA. It’s November 15 – 17, 2017, and you’ll want to register soon (seats are filling up fast)! Come hang out with me!
Many accounting conferences send attendees on endless searches for the next 50 minutes of content. The attendees can potentially simply pass each other in the halls and eventually pass out in their hotel rooms at the end of the night.
But we don’t want to do that at Deeper Weekend. We want our attendees to stay together. They are all firm owner entrepreneurs, and they have so much in their heads that we can all learn from. One way to extract that content from their heads is to push the attendees together in the form of workshops. We want them to do work on the content and concepts they learn at the Deeper Weekend conference. And we want them to do it out loud and together. Read more
So it’s been a few weeks since we had the THRIVEal “Deeper Weekend” learning gathering. I wanted it to be called “THRIVErdome, Battle Royale of Best Practices: That which does not kill you makes you less stupid.” But that got shot down (Jody Padar said it didn’t sound aggressive enough*).
We spent all day Thursday (which is apparently considered part of “the weekend” to Jason Blumer) with Jody Thompson, co-author of the book Why Work Sucks and How To Fix It: The Results-Only Revolution. She guided us through the concept of a results- only work environment, or “ROWE,” and everybody came away from our time with her with a raging ROWEner.

I’ve been intrigued by this quote from St. Francis of Assisi for some time:
“He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
