During the past weekend, I attended a new leadership program in San Francisco called Hive Global Leaders Program. The idea for Hive originated in August 2013 and its first ever Global Leaders Program was held in January 2014. I learned about the program from Smiley, a friend of a friend, who serves as the emcee and a facilitator for the program. I remember looking into Hive's website and being intrigued by this new format of leadership development. However, I was still a little bit hesitant about paying $750 for a three day program which was only being run for the 2nd time. I poked around the website more and then decided to give it a try because I respected the founding team members Ryan Allis and Adam Pumm. Their profiles seem impressive and Ryan, in particular, attended HBS. As much as I liked the content Ryan created on a number of topics and shared freely on Hive's website, I still had reservation about this guy. Is he a big-ego, type-A, HBS stereotype? After-all, he did post his HBS class photo on Hive and created an 823 slide presentation on life lessons at the age of 28. With all my curiosity and reservations, I applied to the program.
Fast forward to the end of the 3-day program, standing on the roof of a co-working building in SOMA, surrounded by 50 amazing people who I got to know quite deeply over the past 3 days, I felt inspired and hopeful. I was so glad that I stumbled upon Hive, was lucky enough to get in, and as a result, became a part of this extraordinary community. The following several posts is my account of this amazing experience.
