You Can Want More: An Interactive Evening About Ambition, Community, and Career Growth
Join us for an intimate evening of dinner, honest conversation, and hands-on time with tools to help you take your career further.
If you work in community, chances are you didn't fall into the default hustle path. You got here because you care deeply about sustainability, impact, and fulfillment. What's harder to talk about is what happens when those values quietly become a ceiling.
Many community professionals push the parts of themselves that long for power, achievement, and success into the background. Those desires often get labeled as "bad" or at odds with the work. When they go unacknowledged, growth starts to stall.
This conversation is about stepping fully into what you are capable of. A panel moderated by Devin Karbowicz, featuring David Spinks, Silvia Oviedo Lopez, and Gwen Wiscount. Each of them will share the moment they recognized this tension and what shifted when they began embracing the recognition and career growth they had been subconsciously avoiding.
What you'll walk away with:
A clearer sense of how to claim your ambition without leaving your values at the door
A more honest picture of what a fully aligned career looks like, on your terms
Early free access to Blomma, an AI career coach built to make growth more human and accessible
To close the evening, Silvia, co-founder and CEO of Blomma, will lead a live 1:1 coaching demo so you can see exactly what that looks like in practice.
Upon arrival, please head to Fabrik's HQ office on the 2nd floor at 20 Jay Street and take a left when you get out of the elevator.
