Description

The Cover Story Exercise serves as the culmination of Day One, tying together the insights and aspirations developed throughout the day. Building on their bold aspirations and ecosystem insights, participants will imagine their business or entrepreneurial journey celebrated as a feature story on the cover of a major publication. They will create a visual and narrative representation of this future success, highlighting their bold vision, key milestones, and the strategic actions that led them to achieve it.

Participants will display their Cover Stories in a gallery format, allowing the group to share, reflect, and discuss emerging patterns. This collaborative review fosters a sense of shared purpose, deepens community connections, and inspires everyone to think bigger and bolder. The exercise closes Day One with a unifying and energizing moment that sets the stage for actionable planning in Day Two.
