Have you ever wondered why these hot summer days are called the “dog days of summer”? I looked it up. Its roots are connected with the Canis Major constellation. Sirius, aka the dog star, is the brightest star in that constellation, and both Sirius and the constellation are most visible in the northern hemisphere during these hot sultry summer days. One of my solutions to this heat is to find something enjoyable to do inside—which this month obviously includes spending time with you this coming Saturday morning!
I have another awesome Saturday Morning Speaker Mastermind planned for you. For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure, this month you’ll meet my friend, sounding board, and editor for At the Podium, Valerie Utton. She’ll be wearing a different hat this weekend though, sharing her knowledge and perspective about how much easier it can be to connect with our audiences once we understand a couple of key facts about what’s actually going on between their ears.
As always, our core meeting runs from 9:30-11:30am (EST):
— Welcome
— Introductions
— 10-minute Spotlight Speaker: Nandita Ruchandani
— Breakout
— 30-minute Featured Speaker: Valerie Utton
— 2nd Breakout (time permitting)
— Mastermind discussion: How are you making it easier for your ideal peeps to choose you?
10-minute Spotlight Speaker is Nandita Ruchandani. This is usually when I provide a brief description of the speaker’s topic. But Nandita has decided to play this one “close to the vest,” which means I’ll learn about it at the same time you do! At this Saturday’s meeting!
30-minute Feature Speaker is Valerie Utton. When Valerie isn’t using her editing skills to help experts find the right words, she’s diving into research and writing about how to live a happy life. Her topic this Saturday is: What You Need to Know About the “95%”. Her goal is to share “insider information” that will make connecting with our audiences easier.
Registration for this Saturday, August 14th’s meeting is open. You can register by clicking on the link below. Or, if you have a subscription, just text or email me. I’ll be sending out the Zoom meeting link via email later tomorrow afternoon.
As always, “doors” will open at 9:00am for networking. Don’t forget to grab your favorite beverage, check your audio and video, get your chat window open, and start saying hello to your fellow attendees. We will start promptly at 9:30am!
The meeting is officially done at 11:30am, but the doors will stay open for an additional 15 minutes (until 11:45am) of open discussion and Q&A. This is a perfect opportunity for you to share your ideas and/or ask questions you’d like people’s thoughts on.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning, ready for another great virtual meeting!
‘Til we speak again,
~Beth
