Event description

Extreme Sports Photographer, Karen (pronounced car-en) Johanson is a master (mistress?) at playing The Contribution Game, and we're both super-excited to play it with you!

Learn how your intentions for business success get moved forward by holding them in the background.

Here's what to expect from the Contribution Game (so you can prepare beforehand):
(You can learn more about how to play The Contribution Game from business guru Matthew Ferry by clicking here.)

  • Introduce yourself to two people you don't know
  • Find out who people are — really — not just their title
  • Find out what they're committed to — in business and beyond
  • Leave your agenda behind
  • See how you can make a difference

These are your questions for the evening:
  • How can I help?
  • How can I support?
  • Who do I know? Do I have contacts or resources? Is there someone else I've talked to in the room that can support this person?
Show up with a giving mindset and something to write with/on — unless you have a photographic memory!  (We'll provide extra paper and pens, if case you forget.)


Andina Restaurant ("a taste of Peru in the Pearl") offers a variety of appetizers, including vegetarian and gluten-free options.  A full bar and non-alcoholic beverages are also available.

    Hi!

    Not sure what happened. I was at the restaurant at about 4:20 - looked around, didn't see you - asked at the front desk - they didn't know anything about your meeting nor did they have a reservation under your name. Too bad I missed this one...tried to come and meet you! Next time I guess. Thanks!

    Hi Lisa! So sad we missed you (You, too, Jennifer!

    Since it was a Happy Hour event, we were in the bar. I apologize that we didn't think to go over to the restaurant section. We'll remember this for next time.
