[Pampered Laura]

:eek: Carolyn! Helloooooooo??!?!? You know you HAVE to give us more details than that! :D

[dannyzmom]

OMG OMG OMG you guys...I am in a total PANIC!!!
I said YES...so I am now committed to doing it.
Thank GOD I have a co-presenter so I am not alone in this.
I am NOT telling ya'll what workshop I am presenting because I love you all but I DON'T WANT YOU THERE!!! No Way can I present a workshop with all my buddies in the audience - I would be too tempted to shoot spit balls at you, flick boogers at you, and moon you!! LOL
If it just so happens that some of you ARE in my workshop, PLEASE when you see me up there...DON'T tell me you know me!!! Wait til after it's over to come introduce yourself LOL

Now that's a workshop I'd attend. I'd sit waaaay back, but I'd be there!

[chefann]

Carolyn,
You'll do awesome! Just think of all the great advice you've shared on here. It's just like that, only you'll be standing and talking instead of typing. You'll take the TeleClass for presenters and get lots of great ideas about the mechanics of your presentation. And then you'll kick butt!!

So it's karate she'll be teaching? Or, maybe that's kickboxing. Either way, cool!

Nope- host coaching. How to get through to the "Know it all" hosts.

[raebates]

Even better!

[Chozengirl]

How freaking exciting Caroline!!!!
Congrats to you!!!!
Too bad I can't be there!
Maybe they will video tape it and we can see you on a video!

[jrstephens]

Maybe they will put it on DVD and inlcude it in our change overs! or supply order form to buy anyway.

[dannyzmom]

How freaking exciting Caroline!!!!

I know they're audiotaping because I have to sign some sort of a release...I am SO floored and in complete disbelief!

[StacieB]

That is so awesome!! Congrats!!

[chefann]

That would be really cool if yours was the recording that ended up on supply order. :)

[dannyzmom]

That would be really cool if yours was the recording that ended up on supply order. :)

OMG you guys are making me SO nervous!

[raebates]

No need to be nervous. Just think of it as a reeeeeaaaaaallllllyyy big show.

[irishpamperedchef]

Congrats!!!!!! that is so exciting!!!! Im sure you will do a great job:)

[chefann]

Just remember, Carolyn, that we may not all be in the same wave or in your workshop, but we'll all be pulling for you, knowing that you're going to do a great job and truly help a lot of consultants.
{{{hugs}}}

[BethCooks4U]

What an awesome honor! I would be scared to death too! My director put my name in a couple years ago to do a Pampered Partner or web class but they never called - whew! She thinks I am an expert but I know that there's a ton I don't know!

You will be fine! Just prepare well and say a prayer and then HAVE FUN with it!

[crystalscookingnow]

Can you at least give us hints? I so want to learn from you! You can tell us. We won't let you know we're there!

[dannyzmom]

No need to be nervous. Just think of it as a reeeeeaaaaaallllllyyy big show.

I spoke to my advanced director today. She said somewhere along the way I had checked off "yes" on a questionairre when asked whether or not I would be willing to present a workshop. They called her earlier this week to ask her a zillion questions about me. then they called ME today!
I am SO flattered but incredibly nervous!!!! And I feel SO not worthy!

[dannyzmom]

Can you at least give us hints? I so want to learn from you! You can tell us. We won't let you know we're there!

NO NO NO NO NO - I am SO afraid that one of my teammates will be there or someone I know and I would just DIE!

[raebates]

You're obviously worthy. Besides, you have all of the vast knowledge you've gathered from us. Oh, wait. Maybe it's just been really bad jokes. Nevermind.

You're still worthy, though.

[dannyzmom]

ROFL
See - how am I gonna stand up there and NOT throw out a few crude jokes?!?!

[chef_kimmo]

Jokes work! You have offered great advice that I have read on here. It always seems they have a co-presenter that you all can lean on each other. From what I have seen, she will be leaning on you.

I am looking forward to listening to it on a CD! :) :cool: :)

[legacypc46]

Congrats Carolyn! You give such great advice here...it's only natural they should pick you!

Kris

[letscook04]

That is so cool!! You will do just fine!!

I will be looking for you at conference. Just make sure it is not the night before we are at the pino bar! LOL:p

[katie0128]

NO NO NO NO NO - I am SO afraid that one of my teammates will be there or someone I know and I would just DIE!

I'm in Wave 1 and although I'd love to meet you, I'm not hanging out in Chicago just do to do... Anyway, the point is... I won't be there, so you can tell me... I can keep a secret... I P-R-O-M-I-S-E!!!!!

[dannyzmom]

That is so cool!! You will do just fine!!

I will be looking for you at conference. Just make sure it is not the night before we are at the pino bar! LOL:p

I guess I'll be the designated driver, huh?

[aried]

You know the trick about talking in front of everyone. Imagine them naked
:eek:

Ann R

[janetupnorth]

Ok, we don't want her to die of hysterics before she presents!
She'll be picturing us all in our Chef Success thongs... LOL!

Carolyn - on the shock, awe, and feeling not worthy - relax! You are worthy. You have TPC is sales and MOST of us don't! You're OBVIOUSLY doing SOMETHING right!

[genburk]

Are those thongs on backwards or on the waving guy dressed in blue?

[ChefBeckyD]

Carolyn! You will be awesome Girl!

I think the best thing you have going for you (besides all of your great advice and wisdom) is that you keep it so real! You have obviously worked your business in a professional and successful manner - but you keep us laughing while you are doing it! I would be honored to sit in a workshop that you are teaching.....and I'd probably be letting everyone around me know that I know you!!! (Unless you were wearing a Post Slut T-shirt...then I might have to think twice!:D :p )

[genburk]

Becky - You are funny. I forgot about the post slut t-shirt.

[chefkristin]

Oh I would want to be in the front row for that one!! Of course I would have to buy a poncho to protect my clothes from all the boogers. You will all recognize me-LOL- I will be the one wearing a rain poncho-humming Barry tunes!!! LOL!!!!:D

Wouldn't it be great to get the whole front row swaying and singing "You Know I can't smile without you......?":D

[chefkristin]

Just make sure you wear your rain poncho!!! Don't want those boogs stuck in your hair.:D LOL!!!:D

Oh what a bummer. Sorry bout that. You can always request a change can't you?

[PampMomof3]

CONGRATS CAROLYN!! I really hope you're one of my presenters!!!! I'll be rooting for you and hopefully not staring but taking notes!!!:D

[raebates]

If I'm in that workshop, I'll be watching closely (from my safe seat in the middle of the back row) for flung boogers.

Seriously, congratulations, Carolyn. From what I've seen of your advice here, it's an honor you've definitely earned.

[pckrissy]

Congrats Carolyn! You will do fine! One of the girls from our group was picked last year and she was nervous too, you will do great!! I hope I am in the work shop! Good luck :)

[pamperedlinda]

Congratulations Carolyn! What an honor. I know you will do a great job.

[GourmetGirl]

Congrats Carolyn! As much as I love you and all your advice, I hope I'm not in your class for multiple reasons:

a) I don't like boogers being flung towards me (or anything for that matter)
b) I don't want to try and listen to you with a strait face after being with you at the piano bar the night before
and c) because we get you here on cs, it's like getting an extra workshop for free (assuming you'll share your notes :) )

[ooshmeister]

Carolyn:
I'm in Wave 2 and it would be great to receive advice from such a fine achiever. I'd be interested in hearing your story and how you have achieved so much with all that you have going on in your life. Just think if you recognize our names, we are already convinced you are awesome so it's your time to shine! Good luck !

Hey Sue

I am in Northboro, not that far from you!

[dannyzmom]

I've gotta tell you guys - I am AMAZED That you all think so highly of me. I think I am just a big goofball - I DON'T think I am all that great at this business. I just do what I do and it pays the bills. I think I am sucky at host coaching, terrible at follow-up customer care, a lousy cook, completely disorganized....etc. I am so flattered but SO not worthy.

See - that's what I mean! You are a REAL PERSON! I think all of the people in your workshop will be able to relate to you - and that is so helpful! You know - when you are listening to someone who seems so perfect in every way and you sorta tune out because you are thinking "I could never do that - I could never be like her"......but with you - people can think "Wow - she's just like me, and she can do this - maybe I can do this too!" You are the type of presenter that I would want to listen to and learn from!

Well thanks Becky...I still think I am a big goofball!

[pamperedbecky]

It's nice to hear that disorganized people like us can succeed in this business!!! I know for me, I seem to work well in chaos. Well, at least a little chaos!!

Congrats!!!!:D

[lacychef]

CONGRATS Carolyn:D You will do great; and just like the others said, it's nice to know that a REAL person can succeed so much--even if you're unorganized! (and whatever you think you're not good at doing--well, you're obviously better than you think....I mean you got TPC for the second year girl!):)

[dannyzmom]

It's nice to hear that disorganized people like us can succeed in this business!!! I know for me, I seem to work well in chaos. Well, at least a little chaos!!

Congrats!!!!:D

I have no choice but to work in chaos - LOL - my WORLD is chaos!!

[katie0128]

Well thanks Becky...I still think I am a big goofball!

So back to ChefBecky's comment... but with you - people can think "Wow - she's just like me, and she can do this - maybe I can do this too!"
... we think you're a big goofball, too! But that is why we are so excited for you... if one goofball can do it, then the rest of us have a chance, too!!! You give us hope!:D

[chefann]

And I, for one, would rather have an exciting workshop from a successful goofball than a boring workshop from a successful stick in the mud.

You are.
Now, what are you going to bribe me with so I don't tell everyone what workshop you're teaching?

[dannyzmom]

You are.

What do you want? I'll give you ANYTHING not to spill the beans!

[chefann]

<giggle>
I just wanted to see you panic. I'd never tell! Although, I would like to be in that one, just to meet you. But you'd have to promise not to fling boogers at me.

Do you want my fruit hat for your presentation?

[katie0128]

You are.
Now, what are you going to bribe me with so I don't tell everyone what workshop you're teaching?

Hey... Why does Ann get to know? :eek: What makes her so special? I can get a fruit hat, too, you know. I'm REAL handy with a glue gun

[chefann]

Katie, it was a fluke. A mere random guess on my part, in some private messages that Carolyn and I had been exchanging.

That, or I'm just the nosy one. :)

You go right ahead and make yourself a fruit hat. Or I can just take a picture of you in mine at the Wave 1 Meet 'n' Greet. You are coming to one of them, aren't you?

[raebates]

And I, for one, would rather have an exciting workshop from a successful goofball than a boring workshop from a successful stick in the mud.


Yes, and amen!!!

I am actually going to do a shw in a few hours...wearing pink fuzzy footy PJs!

[Chef Kearns]

Congratulations Carolyn!! What an exciting offer! Make it you...make it FUN!! Those are always the best workshops.

[Paige Dixon]

WooHoo!!! How exciting!!!

She could help you much more if she knew what you were teaching... :D ;)

[ChefBeckyD]

Hey Carolyn!


I THINK I have it figured out! If I PM you and I have it right will you let me know???? (I'm in wave 1 - and I'll ONLY talk to ChefAnn about it!:D ;) )

I just HATE not knowing a secret - it drives me crazy!!!!

[janetupnorth]

I'm guessing:

Get it Together - Time Organization
or a
Cooking Show Live!

[chefkatie]

I'm in Wave 2 as well. I am teaching Fulfill Dreams: Develop Directors. Is anyone signed up for that one? My first time too Carolyn, so don't have too many tips :) I am excited about it too though. I am presenting with an Executive Director, so I am kind of letting her take the lead.

I wish I had known you were teaching. I would have signed up. You should come and meet us at the lounge on Thursday night at 9 at the Sheraton. A bunch of us are meeting there.
