The Seven C’s of Navigating Change at SECBN
Posted by themagic in Business Groups, Business Mastermind, Mastermind on October 5th, 2009
The Nancys have created a presentation called “The Seven C’s of Navigating Change”, which encompasses much of the work we do with coaching clients and in Masterminding. We’ve had the opportunity to meet and share this presentation with many businesses and this past week we presented to a delightful group of people at the Southeast Cherokee Businss Network (SECBN).
Other than discussing navigating change, we offered some masterminding demonstration at the meeting and one member had a burning topic. He said, “How do we deal with the elephant in the living room –Rejection?” After a little conversation around the topic, it was obvious that this is a hot topic; however, it was already time for the meeting to end so we’ve decided to have our monthly conversation/mastermind session (which is open to anyone at no charge and is held on the 1st Wednesday of every month at 12:00 Noon EST) on “How to Handle Business Rejection”.
Linda Lulli, who is president of SECBN, wrote a blog post entitled Changes in Attitude - Changes in Latitude about the presentation. Thanks Linda for your thoughts and for having us!
Kick Butt #*!%
Posted by themagic in Current Economy, Mastermind, Mastermind Groups, Masterminds on February 24th, 2009
When we first started working on setting up Mastermind Groups, I wanted to have two groups:
The Kick Butt Club (for the committed)
The Kick Butt & Take Names Club (for the SUPER committed)
The responses to the names were funny. They ranged from “I love it!” to “What does ‘take names” mean?” to “People might be offended.”
There’s a lot happening out there in this current economy or what we might call “the new normal”. Many people are feeling like so much is happening to them. My question is, “What if we take a different stand and rather than feeling run down and defeated, we take the position of ‘happening to things’? ” In other words let’s say, “I don’t sit around and let things happen to me, I happen to things!” This is turning it around, rising above, refusing to settle and finding ways to suceed and thrive in the new normal.
Now, with that said, we will have to let go of some old paradigms. The way we used to do business isn’t always viable right now. It’s time to find new ways of connecting, marketing, pricing and serving our markets. A Mastermind Group is the key doing just that with the support of others, their ideas, energy and encouragement vs. trying to figure it all out in a vacuum.
A couple of days ago, I received this wonderful email from www.tut.com called “A Note from the Universe”. I love these emails and especially loved this one because it said….
“There were a lot of reasons you chose to come to earth, Nancy, and I am super happy to tell you that not one of them was to master being poor, lonely or sick.
“You came to “kick butt, ” Nancy….
The Universe
So, now I know that at least somebody else is thinking about kicking butt! How about you? I would really love to have your feedback and thoughts on this post and on calling Mastermind Groups “Kick Butt” Clubs! Leave your comments below….
