You know you had dreams and big plans, but you seem to have lost them under a pile of papers on your desk, or maybe they're crammed between back-to-back appointments in your calendar. It doesn't matter, because you can't seem to find the energy or time to look for your dreams anymore.... You think maybe you need better time management skills, but that's not the core problem. Look deeper....

Criss Ittermann is giving a 2-Part energy management intensive:

Part 1 on December 4th
Part 2 on December 16th

Both are from 8am to 12pm in the Montgomery Room (1st level) at the Orange County Chamber of Commerce at 30 Scott's Corners Drive in Montgomery, NY.

Winners Circles - Nationwide

A major benefit of belonging to the National Women's In Network is eligibility for membership in our Winners Circles. Winners Circles are mastermind groups where participants receive peer coaching, support, brainstorming and accountability to their goals.

The pilot Winners Circle group meets monthly in Florida, NY and the members have found it so useful they voluntarily upped their contributions and sign up for 5 month blocks to ensure attendance and commitment to the group. Following on their model, I will be facilitating nationwide Winners Circles by conference call. My conference call line allows me to break a larger group into smaller groups for intimate sharing.

Hopefully you are interested in attending our Winners Circles, especially now that we will be saving time and opening up a new enrollment period by conducting meetings by phone. To determine a set schedule for meetings, and to make sure there is sufficient interest, please take the following survey:

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/182608/nwin-winners-circles

Winners Circle Testimonials:

This is an important of my own personal and professional "maintenance" of my wellbeing -- connecting in such an intimate and satisfying way with our NWIN members has continued to be a source of ongoing self-nurturing and satisfying connections with other members with whom I can experience a deeper relationship and offer support within the context of our all being on the same level "playing field"...where I am not the "coach", but just a "player". -- Sheila Pearl

The peer support and personal support are very important and helpful to both my business and me personally. -- JoAnne Bell

I love the level of group intimacy and I need that space in my life where I can open up about intertwined personal and business issues with people who can really "get it." I don't receive that level of understanding and support from family or non-business friends. I find the Winners Circles to be so valuable both personally and professionally that I plan to continue attending as a participant in spite of participating on the teleseminars as a facilitator and coach. -- Rev. Criss Ittermann

Special Offer from Goshen Acupuncture & Massage

These are stressful times- I don't have to explain this point further... so for the month of March I'm offering a complimentary acupuncture session to all Women in Network Orange Day & Evening members.
No obligation for future treatment, simply a chance to relax: mentally, physically and emotionally.
If you are an existing patient you can have another treatment this month, on me.
If you are afraid of needles we can use press seeds. They don't puncture the skin and are just as effective.

Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions.

Maryann McQuillan, L. Ac.

Ps Abundance starts as a state of mind- so try to do whatever you can to reduce your stress.

Winners Circle Update

The current Orange County, NY Winners Circle is only temporarily open to new members. Starting February 27th, the meeting will be closed to new attendees until a new enrollment period in July.

To quote Ruth Landstrom:

In the last meeting, we decided to make a few changes to the Winners Circle. We thought that we'd try making it a closed group for the next five months (February - June), with no new additions until the summer. We also decided to increase the fee to $10/meeting and ask everybody to pay upfront for all five meetings ($50).

The intention of these changes is to increase everyone's commitment, so that the group can support us in an ongoing way. It is just too easy to bump the "me" time for all the other demands in our busy lives. If a meeting is already paid for, and we have said we'll be there, we're all more likely to show up! And that's good for everyone.

The other change is that I'll have some help with the logistics. Cindy Marsh-Croll will be handling the money, so she'll be contacting you separately about that first $50. JoAnne Bell will be sending out email reminders. And Criss Ittermann will update the NWIN blog with info about the Winners Circles.

So, please let me know if you'd like to try this new experiment, and save the dates! Meetings will be on the fourth Friday of each month, from 7:45 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., at Yoga for Well-Being, 2 Industrial Drive, Florida, New York.

February 27
March 27
April 24
May 22
June 26

I look forward to seeing you all each month!
