A small gathering practice

几个人一起

A few people, a little time, and a place where things can be talked through slowly.

我有时会想,1 对 1 的长期交流之外,也许还有另一种很小的形式。

几个彼此有好感、有分寸、也正在认真生活的人,偶尔从各自的日常里出来,找个地方坐下来,吃饭,散步,住一晚,把工作、生活和一些困难选择慢慢聊清楚。

01

What This Is

This is not meant to become a club, a course, or a networking event.

It is closer to a small extension of Shadowing CXO: instead of one person talking with me, a few people sit together and let the conversation find its own shape.

Sometimes the useful thing is not advice. It is simply having a place where a person does not have to carry everything alone.

这是什么

这不是社群,也不是课程,更不是人脉局。

它更像是 Shadowing CXO 的一个很小的旁支:不是一个人和我聊,而是几个人坐在一起,让对话自己慢慢长出来。

有时候有用的东西不是建议,而是一个地方。在那里,一个人不用独自把所有事情都扛着。

02

Format

Usually three to eight people.

Sometimes a long dinner. Sometimes a walk. Sometimes a night away from the city, in a quiet place where people do not have to rush back immediately.

There is no fixed program. There may be a loose question for the day, but the point is not to perform insight. The point is to speak honestly and listen well.

形式

通常三到八个人。

有时是一顿饭。有时是散步。有时也可能离开城市一晚,找一个安静的地方,不用刚聊到一半就急着回去。

不会有很满的流程。可能会有一个很松的题目,但重点不是生产洞察。重点是能诚实地说话,也能好好听别人说话。

03

What We May Talk About

  • work and direction
  • difficult decisions
  • family, relocation, education, health, money, aging
  • the parts of life that are hard to explain in ordinary dinners

The goal is not to solve everything. It is to see a little more clearly.

可能会聊什么

  • 工作和方向
  • 一些不好做的决定
  • 家庭、迁移、教育、身体、钱、变老
  • 那些在普通饭局里很难讲清楚的部分

目标不是把所有问题解决掉。只是一起看得更清楚一点。

04

Who This Is For

People who are building something, or have built something, but do not want every conversation to become about growth, resources, or success.

People who enjoy deep conversations, but do not need a formal label for every relationship.

这更适合谁

适合正在做一些事情,或者已经做过一些事情的人。但也不希望每一次见面都变成增长、资源和成功。

适合喜欢深度交流,但不需要给每段关系都贴一个正式标签的人。

05

How It Begins

Probably very naturally.

With people I already know, or people introduced by someone I trust. The first step is still just a conversation.

如何开始

大概还是很自然地开始。

可能是我已经认识一段时间的人,也可能是信任的朋友介绍来的人。第一步仍然只是先聊一聊。
