Earlier in the year, Dr. Mollie Marti asked me to be a part of Make An Impact Live!

It was a weekend conference held in Chicago and it was focused on building up leaders, entrepreneurs and biz people, so they could go back to their communities to make even more of an impact.

Dr. Marti had assembled a freakishly cool list of speakers, so I was absolutely honored to be a part of it.

As we talked about her goals for the conference, we figured out that it would be a perfect environment to hold a BIG Dream Gathering.  So that’s what we did…

I kicked the event off on Friday night by telling the story of the BIG Dream Gathering… and then we moved into a BDG… Chicago style!

And as you can imagine… it was amazing!

Here are some photos…

What made it even more incredible was that we had the conference center all to ourselves all weekend, so we were able to leave the dream sheets up for 3 days!  That made for more dreams being posted and it made for A LOT more connections.

Plus… there was a behind the scenes story from Dr. Mollie that was fantastic.  She posted about it on her blog and you can check it out by clicking here.

I’m so wildly grateful for the experience… and for all of the freakishly cool people I met.

The speakers were all AMAZING.  (If you’d like to find out more about some of the speakers that I saw… and would HIGHLY recommend… please click here.) And the participants all had incredible stories of impact in their communities… as well as big dreams that were percolating in their hearts!

I was honored to be in the mix of such a great group of people!

I can’t wait to hear about some of the big dreams that were launched as a result of that weekend!

If you were there… keep in touch and shoot us updates on your BIG Dream stories!

If you weren’t… there’s already talk of Make An Impact Live 2011… so stay tuned!

PS – The weekend was so jam packed full of BIG Dreams that we even came across one on the way home.  Click here to check out that fun story!

Keep dreaming BIG,
