A monthly, in-person gathering for thoughtful professionals who want real conversations about work — beyond hustle culture, LinkedIn polish, or networking theater.

January we'll focus on Sustainable Ambition — how to pursue meaningful impact without running yourself into the ground.

​---

​Real conversations about work, without the LinkedIn veneer.
​Most work events fall into two buckets: awkward networking or inspirational talks you forget by tomorrow.
​This isn’t that.

​New Work Seattle is a monthly, in-person gathering for thoughtful, high-performing humans who realize:
​The old rules of work aren’t holding.
And many of us are figuring out what comes next without a playbook.

​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.
January's focus is Sustainable Ambition — how to pursue meaningful impact without running yourself into the ground.

​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

​Details

  • ​📍 Seattle (locations rotate; always cozy, central, and human-scaled)
  • ​🕕 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 about work alone.
​Because community shouldn’t feel like 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 Wednesday night.
