Spark Summit
Summer 2019
A “better relationship with your child.” Sounds great, but how do you make it happen? We’re going to do it. Together. In a month.
About Spark
I sat with with my 8-year-old son on the red chair in the living room. We had just finished a not-that-great children’s book. “We can do better than that,” I said. Really long story short: we wrote our own book together in a month. It sparked his imagination. It sparked an idea in mine. What will it spark in you?
Expert Interviews
17 rockstars share 30 minutes each spilling their secrets on parenting, creativity, potato chips, writing, child psychology, Spiderman, and getting things done.
Workshops
We’ll then spend a month together starting, creating, and finishing the book you’ll be writing together with a child.
Show, Don’t Tell
I’ll be writing a book together with a child at the same time, so we’ll be in this together every step of the way.
If you don’t know how to do something, we’ll figure it out together.
Featured Talks & Speakers
I don’t know everything. You don’t know everything. Who knows everything? No one.
But we all know a little something we’re really good at. We’re going to gather those people up and get at least one nugget of delicious wisdom from each one.
Tuesday
Angela Ceez
Dream Team Building
Sure, you can run a project with your team of engineers, but how about with a 9-year-old girl?
Angela is a relationship expert, but not with you and your spouse: with you and your child.
You thought you knew your kids. Little did you know.
Talk to me in a month.
Monday
Gern Blanston
It’s the Journey, Not the Destination
Gern Blanston is a renowned child psychologist in the field of writing books together with kids. He’s not only written 14 books together with his 3 daughters and 2 sons but he’s done his PhD thesis on the process. He’ll tell all.
Wednesday
Kent Lafmore
Obligatory Comedy
We’re not working on tax law. This isn’t a weekend workshop on relationship building in your HR department.
This is family. This is fun. This is light.
We need a director of comedy and Kent is going to make sure we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
If you don’t laugh at least 30 times in the month, you’ll be kicked out and Kent will laugh while doing it.
