PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Tapping into the resources we have in each other at last month’s roundtable was convivial, productive, and just plain fun! Our January roundtable generated abundant and useful brainstorming on each of our individual endeavors. The networking sparks were flying. We were reluctant to end.

One long-time member wrote the facilitator of January’s roundtable…

“I am still impressed by the strength of the WMCA meeting last night.
It was one of the all-time top meetings, from my perspective.”

We discovered that these lightly structured conversations can be facilitated in way that makes them relevant to each of our immediate concerns as practitioners. New and old members alike said they wanted to do it again in February. So we will. Please do join us!

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Coaches!  We’ve been excited by the energy and interaction that’s been generated by our roundtables over the past year. Those who attend tell us that these structured conversations are just as stimulating as WMCA events that focus on a speaker’s presentation. Tapping into the resources we have right here in each other has been convivial and productive.

For our January 25th gathering, we invite you to celebrate your successes of the past year and your intentions for 2012. Share these along with any concerns or questions the group may be able to help with. For example, we can discuss how to make the most of the revised guidelines for our Noho Chamber benefits.

If there’s a question or topic you’d like to bring to this roundtable, please contact Carlyn through  www.videofeedbackcoaching.com/contact-carlyn/ — or just come to the meeting!
