What we’re about
Real conversations about work, without the LinkedIn veneer.
Most work events fall into two buckets:
• awkward networking
• inspirational talks you forget by tomorrow
This isn’t that.
New Work Meet Up is a monthly, in-person gathering for thoughtful, high-performing humans who are quietly asking:
There has to be another way to work… without burning it all down.
What this is:
A calm, grounded space to talk honestly about work —
what’s working, what’s not, what you’re questioning, and what you’re trying to build next.
Think:
Real conversation, not posturing
Smart people, no performative hustle
Light structure, deep signal
Relief instead of inspiration
You’ll leave feeling clearer, less alone, and more oriented — not hyped up or fixed.
What we’ll do:
Each month has a loose theme (things like Sustainable Ambition, Boundaries That Actually Hold, Leading Without Self-Sacrifice, When Success Starts to Feel Weird).
The flow is simple:
A short framing to set the tone.
Small-group conversations (actual dialogue, not icebreakers).
Optional peer coaching on real challenges.
Space to name wins, experiments, and quiet successes.
No forced vulnerability.
No public confessionals.
No hustle worship.
Just honest, intelligent humans thinking together.
Who it’s for:
This is for you if...
You’re successful on paper but something feels off.
You care deeply about your work and your life.
You’re allergic to fluffy self-help and grind culture alike.
You want community without performance.
You’d rather have one real conversation than twenty business cards.
Many attendees work in leadership, tech, healthcare, creative, or impact-driven roles — but titles matter less than mindset.
Who it’s not for:
If you want a keynote, this isn’t it.
If you want to pitch your startup, not the room.
If you believe overwork is a moral virtue.
If you’re looking for answers instead of better questions.
Practical details:
📍 Seattle (locations rotate; always cozy, central, and human-focused)
🕕 One weekday evening per month
⏱ ~90 minutes
☕ Come as you are. Leave lighter.
Why this exists:
Because too many smart, capable people are carrying their questions alone.
Because community shouldn’t feel like another performance.
Because the future of work won’t be built by the loudest voices — but by the most honest ones.
If you’ve been craving that kind of room…
this is probably your place.
