Where personal stories reveal professional breakthroughs KPT Collaborative is hosting a new monthly gathering for professionals who want something deeper than networking. KPT Unscripted is built around a simple truth: when we share our real stories — the ones that shaped us, stretched us, and surprised us — something powerful happens. Walls come down. Trust builds. Community forms. We see ourselves in each other. And growth becomes possible in a way it rarely does in traditional “networking” spaces. KPT Unscripted is a space for that kind of connection. Each month, one storyteller will share a defining moment from their life or work, followed by Q&A and a group conversation that invites honesty, courage, and reflection. It’s about surrendering to the truth of our experiences and discovering how much we all have in common. If you’re craving a room where people speak openly, listen generously, and walk away a little more inspired, encouraged, and connected, this is it. $29 to attend • Registration required • All are welcome We’d love to have you in the room.
