Planning to attend on-site in-person networking meetings? That makes now a great time to refresh your networking skills! The place to start is with the basics, which is exactly what you get in my Networking for Newbies Webinar. Where and how to network, what to say in networking meetings, and more.
Power Up: Download the first 3 pages of the guided notes so you have them as you watch the webinar. Perfect for noting those tips you want to remember.
Private coaching update: It it likely that we'll have a different private coaching scheduling app in the new website, so there are no sessions listed for October forward. Hoping to get that resolved in the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience.

You know that I truly appreciate you every single day of the year. And I do my best to show it on a regular basis. But during our annual Appreciation Month, I like to make it clear!
This is how I'm showing my appreciation for YOU this month:
Four (4) 100% freeeappreciation events (ALL members welcome!)
20% off private coaching sessions all month (no waiting, no limits)
First up this week is the Member Appreciation Virtual Potluck. This is a social meeting and we'll make it extra fun by bringing something tasty to share. Not food, but information. Bring a success story, a tip, or a resource to share. No preparation needed! This is a conversation about things we love and find useful. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
Join me and your peers on Friday, July 9th at 10 AM Pacific, 12 PM Central, 1 PM Eastern for a fun and relaxing hour. No registration needed, but you can register if you want an email reminder. Or just get the link on the Member Specials page: Member Specials
Which is where you will find details on the rest of the meetings and the coaching special.
I like celebrating our freedom with some hot dogs on the barbeque as much as the next gal. But come Monday, since it's not *actually* a holiday, I'll be ready for ACTION!
Premium members, if that's how you feel, please join me for our Monday morning Action Calls as usual. If you're recovering from your holiday or just plain need a day off, skip the meetings! Either way, I'm so jazzed about working with you that I'm gonna be there.
To sum up: Thank you. Let's have some fun. Action Calls on Monday. AND I appreciate YOU!

It really is inspiring to listen to and to be around people who are walking the walk and getting things done." ~Connie Dorigan, CPC, www.dorigan.com

And it already seems to be paying off – literally!" ~ Jennifer Corio, www.cobaltdesignworks.com

"I enjoy and appreciate all the attention and the direction of the new Marketing Mastermind. I notice your added energy and focus and find value in it. Hearing the same things in different ways allows the information to integrate more fully. After listening to you, I am ever more understanding of the dance between listening and sharing. When you speak, there is the intertwining of your years of experience. I am gradually learning the various pieces that you put together so skillfully and gracefully. Then you top it off with your powerful strength of ideation." ~ Caron MacLane, Circle Coach & Consultant, www.CaronCircleCC.com

"I just finished my marketing plan. I can't believe how easy it was after your class...I can't believe I actually have a marketing plan put together. Good gracious, I'd read quite a few marketing books and took notes, but then all I had was a computer file with a lot of notes. Now, after your one-hour class--and the Friday deadline--I actually wrote it down and even went through some of those notes while I did it. Wow. I can't believe I did it! Thanks so much, Ronnie. You're terrific!" ~Julie McDonald Zander, Chapters of Life Memory Books, www.chaptersoflife.com
