ELE brings leaders together across companies and industries to work through the messy stuff: decisions, risk, handoffs, execution drag, and what it takes to move from idea to action.

Meet ELE Contributing Members and get involved Saturday, Aug 16 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (or later, if the wine flows!) Location: At Dirk's Koi Pond | North Park, Chicago
Join Dirk Tussing and ELE Contributing Members for an intimate brunch where insight meets reflection and connection drives momentum. This is where we trade PowerPoint for people-first dialogue, and co-create what comes next for talent development.

<blockquote>
Real conversations. Trusted peers. This isn’t a panel or a presentation—it’s an invitation
</blockquote>
We are hosting two relaxed summer brunches with smaller groups from the ELE community. Join us by Dirk's Koi Pond for good conversation, fresh ideas, and easy networking.

Think: Casual, Thoughtful, and Fun.
This isn’t just a meal—it’s a journey. We’ll move through three reflective prompts to explore what we’re releasing, what’s taking root, and what big shifts we’re chasing. Expect honest, peer-to-peer connection around ideas that matter—personally and professionally.

Small group chats, zero pressure, and real talk encouraged.

Dress Code: Zen by the Koi Waterfall
Effortless. Expressive. Grounded.

Come dressed in soft fabrics and relaxed silhouettes—floral prints and organic colors welcome. Think garden elegance meets mindful presence.
✔️ Yes to: breezy linens, flowy dresses, nature-inspired colors and patterns
❌ No to: suits, ties, or anything that says “conference room”

<blockquote>🪷 Dress like you’re about to have your most important conversation of the summer—with someone who really sees you.</blockquote>
Additional Details
🌟 Space is limited to 12 guests for this trust-building experience.
🚗 Street parking is free and readily available.
