Shameless Offerings

"Shameless Networking" has become one of our most popular events over the years. It's a night where people show up with clarity, courage, and a direct ask.

But this time, we’re turning it on its head.

Welcome to Shameless Offerings.

Instead of arriving with what you need, you’ll arrive with one bold, generous offer of how you can help someone else.

Because community isn’t just built by asking.

It’s built by contributing.

And sometimes, the fastest way to find what you’re looking for… is to lead with generosity.

What is a Shameless Offering?

It’s a clear, specific offer of value you’re willing to give. It can flow from expertise or just time and an offering to help.

Not vague encouragement.

Not “let me know if I can help.”

But something tangible.

Something useful.

Something generous!

Brilliant Story Telling - “Radical Generosity”

• Location Heritage Hall in Vancouver. Eventbrite

  Human Connection through Brilliant Stories

  Brilliant Storytelling is back, and this time, we’re gathering around a powerful theme: Radical Generosity.

  This unforgettable evening brings together diverse storytellers sharing short, deeply personal narratives about the moments generosity shows up both in giving and receiving.

  • The groceries that arrived when you needed them most.
  • A stranger who stepped in at just the right time.
  • The mentor who saw potential and invested in you.
  • The person who gave more than they had.
  • A life-changing act, like receiving an organ or offering one.
  • Giving the shirt off your back, and somehow, it finding its way back to you.

  From hilarious and heartwarming to inspiring and deeply moving, these stories span the full range of human emotion and remind us how powerful it is when people show up for each other.

  Expect an evening that reconnects you to what’s possible through generosity.

  What to Expect:

  • Connection: Experience the magic of storytelling that builds bridges between cultures and perspectives.
  • Emotion: Get ready to laugh, cry, and feel inspired by the varied, short-story-style personal narratives of our carefully selected storytellers.
  • Inspiration: Discover new perspectives and be moved by the raw, authentic human experiences shared on stage.

  Do You Have a Story to Tell?

  We’re looking for storytellers who have experienced or witnessed radical generosity in giving, receiving or witnessing it happen.

  If something comes to mind, there’s likely a story there worth telling.

  That said, this isn’t a “show up and wing it” kind of night.

  The stories that land the most are the ones that are thoughtfully shaped, practiced, and intentional. We’ll work with selected storytellers to help refine their story so it’s clear, engaging, and memorable.

  And one important note:

  This is about story, not teaching.

  We’re not looking for a lesson, a keynote, or advice.

  We’re looking for a real moment and letting the audience take away what they will.

  If you’re willing to put in the work to craft something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
