June 2007 - Seize the Moment!

At our June meeting members took part in a an interactive, fun workshop lead by our experienced facilitators Maria Lacey of Reiki Inspirations and Robyn O'Connell of Silver Celebrants .

Aimed at helping people learn how to make the most of every opportunity to promote themselves and their business the workshop had people identifying their key strengths and unique selling propositions.

By trying to explain these to other members in the group and receiving feedback and critical evaluation from their peers people were able to assess how effectively they were in fact communicating their message

It was interesting to note that even more experienced small business people who thought they had well developed "elevator speeches" found after receiving feedback that they were able to improve their delivery or their message.

It was interesting to note that evaluating someone else's performance had the immediate effect of making you think more about how you communicate your own message.

As usual the meeting finished with an extended networking session over supper and everyone agreed that the food and venue at the Coach and Horses were excellent.
