You don't need to be hit by a car to learn this lesson!

This week's Forum Luncheon is all about giving and shortcuts. I'm asking you to think of a bit o' wisdom that you've picked up along the winding path of your career or business development that you wish you had acquired much earlier. I'm asking you to recall how you came upon this piece of gold and to have you think about how to tell that story and what the gem has meant to you.

Then, I want you to wrap this story and the wisdom it brought you in a beautiful (but pretend) box and bring it with you to the Marigold Forum to pass along to another woman. It won't cost you a dime, but could save a sister thousands in dollars or time.

What is the One Great Thing that changed your effectiveness, productivity, peace of mind, profitability, work/life balance, financial security, ability to build a team, made you an awesome leader or allowed you to give yourself permission to do something completely outside of your comfort zone?

Our featured sponsor, Bonnie Alfonso, President of Alfie shares her story of convalescing for 6 months after being hit by a car. She learned to let her team members get things done in their own way, not her way. It was tough for her to let go, but she learned to care more about the work getting done than on how it got done.

I hope that you can accept these gifts of wisdom as just that: The gift of a shortcut in life's lessons. We don't each need to be hit by a car to learn Bonnie's lesson.


Please join us Thursday, August 20 at the Traverse City Golf and Country Club, promptly at 11AM. Register here.
