Today we had our Mastermind meetup in Darien, IL. Although it was a little disappointing and frustrating that 9 of the 20 members that committed to coming to the Mastermind did not show up - the 11 women that did show up made for a very revealing and interesting afternoon for all that attended. We began the meeting as we always do with our intention - it is always so powerful and centering. After that, we broke off into groups of 2 and did a "Trading Places" exercise.
What we mean by "Trading Places" is just that - for instance Heidi Thorne and Peggy Kinst were partners, and after some sharing and interviewing, Peggy did an introduction for Heidi and her business and Heidi did an introduction for Peggy and her business.
This exercise revealed a lot to all who attended, that we need to be as loving and positive with ourselves s as we are with our fellow WESOS sisters. We tend to shy away from promoting ourselves or at least hold back when promoting ourselves, but never seems to have that problem when promoting our sisters.
Each Mastermind participant did a bang up job for their counter part, and many of us left with some good ideas on how to "step up" our introduction game - and make sure our message is coming through loud and clear!
As women, we need to embrace our uniqueness and let go of the fear of looking foolish in front of others - as a good friend is always telling me - "Let your freak flag fly!". Great advice, but it also makes us get our of our comfort zone and leave ourselves vulnerable to criticism. Sometimes that can be too much to bear - boy am I happy for the confidence building sisters I have at WESOS!
This is an example of the type of intros you might of seen today from our group - thank you Alison Henderson (AKA Mary Wu)for letting us use your intro as an example.
