From Incarceration to Impact and Innovation
"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." . Isaac Newton
Every opportunity available to us today exists because someone before us dared to imagine more. Great thinkers, builders, and creators shaped the communities we live in now, often without recognition, often without reward. When we stand on their shoulders, we gain the perspective to see what comes next.
This January, just days after Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Shoulders of Giants convenes an intimate, invitation-only leadership lunch in Seattle centered on The Unfinished Work, a conversation moderated by Carmen Best, former Chief of Police of the Seattle Police Department.
A Conversation Beyond the Headlines
The Unfinished Work is not a panel designed for soundbites. It is a deliberate, high-level dialogue examining accountability, justice, and what real opportunity looks like after a sentence ends.
This conversation brings together leaders with lived experience and institutional authority. Entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, and equity innovators who have moved from incarceration to world-class impact will reflect on what progress truly requires after the policy, after the speech, after the easy acknowledgments fade.
Together, participants will explore:
- What leadership looks like when systems stop paying attention
- How responsibility shows up in practice, not theory
- Why meaningful change is not a moment, but a mission carried forward daily
Leadership That Leads Somewhere
Leadership does not end with recognition. Justice does not end with a sentence.
The Unfinished Work asks us to consider what we carry forward together and how we choose to act when no one is watching. This is a space for honest reflection, thoughtful challenge, and forward-looking leadership grounded in action.
Guests will enjoy Columbia Tower Club's world-renowned signature buffet lunch before and during the conversation, creating space for connection, dialogue, and perspective at the highest level.
Turning Conversation Into Action
This leadership lunch also includes a curated auction benefiting Level Up Home, the community partner supporting individuals returning home from incarceration through housing, coaching, and belonging.
Proceeds from the auction directly support structures that restore dignity and momentum. This is not charity. It is investment in pathways forward.
Participation in the auction is optional. The impact is real.
