You might also enjoy this CreativeMornings talk about The Leap Year Project that Victor Saad gave at our Chicago chapter.
Back in 2012, a Leap Year, Victor designed his own Masters by completing 12 mini internships in 12 months. Throughout that year, he organized Leap dinners for local friends and leaders to consider what leaps they might take in their lives and work. His year ended on the TEDx stage in Chicago, where he announced the beginning of his own learning organization, The Experience Institute. Victor now teaches at Stanford, and designs experiences for people and teams across industries.
Victor and the Experience Institute have continued to use Leap Years to bring communities together. In 2016 and 2020, they orchestrated small dinners and friendly meetups on February 29th that sparked the most special conversations â some of which led to new relationships, new projects, and new careers. Now, this Leap Day in 2024, they’re doing it again in cities around the world.
