I had hoped to promote to director on June 1, but that didn't happen. I've still got this month, so we'll see.

In the meantime, I know there are people here who will be walking the stage this year. Let us know so we can cheer for you. Oh, and don't forget to give us your real name if it's not your screen name.
 
I was close last month (6 consultants but $900 short!!). Working on it for this month!!
 
I don't know what walking at conference exactly means... but my ED told me I would be... I promoted to Director June 1.... lets hope I can keep that.... and what does one wear to walk?
 
I believe I am! Director! Not sure if we walk for Excellence Award but I received one for sales!! YIPPEE!
 
I will be!!! Earned my first Excellence award for Sales!!! And I am wearing a dress, I think that is what most people do, dress up a little! :-)
 
I will! I promoted to Director November 1st and to Advanced Director April 1st. This is my first NC and I'm super excited!!!
 
I am walking as a director!!! How dressy do people get?? Cute dress or a little more formal?

I've seen some who SHOULD have dressed up (t-shirts, and capris) - not even BUSINESS CASUAL!! But most wear a nice dress or outfit, like something you might wear to church or a casual party. Some are more casual. Whatever you are comfortable in.

Congratulations to all of you!It wouldn't surprise me if they let those walking know what to wear. The HO is the place to get definitive answers about what they expect.

I wasn't told what to wear when I walked last year. BUT - I think they should give some guidelines - to keep things from happening like the one who dressed in a Skull & Crossbones t-shirt, capri's, and flip-flops, and then stood center front for the picture. :(

I wore a nice Summer dress, and wedge heeled slingback sandals, and felt dressed just right for the occasion.

So up my alley...lol... I went and tried dresses on yesterday at the Limited because I want to get something new to wear! I did just buy a really colorful dress, but I don't feel it's appropriate... I think I'll go for black.
 
I'll be walking as AD. Was hoping to walk for Excellence, but some lost their titles and so I saw my points say bye. Maybe next year! lol I tend to promote after NC it seems, and I'm ok with that. :D

HO does not give guidelines for dress and yes, there was a range of clothes. I'd wear a comfortable dressy outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks...comfy but a bit more than casual. Something you'd wear for an award ceremony.
 
I'll be walking too. Long time coming. :)

Mine last year was bright orange! :-) (and so were my sandals...and my toes were painted orange too.!)
 
Maybe I'll find something dressy in Pampered Chef Lime Green!!
 
Cheers to you ladies for being able to pull of bright colors!

I'm in the minority - but I love Lime Green!

(still didn't buy the t-shirt though, because it's from Merrill, and I don't buy anything from there unless I can try it on. I don't want to pay $15 shipping to have it shipped to me, and then ship it back if it doesn't fit.)
 
I'm walking for Director- possibly Advanced if everything falls in line this month :)
 
walking 2 categories for excellence, sales and recruiting. This is your moment to shine, dress accordingly... feel good abotu yourself and your accomplishments!

That was horrible! I was in total shock that someone would have the 'gumption' to even do such a thing!

I didn't want to walk last year so I didn't pack anything for it as I had no plans to participate. After a few threatened my life practically *ahem posted above...LOL* I wore just a pair of dress pants I had brought and a shirt. I didn't feel under dressed but I didn't go out of my way by any means.

Whatever you are comfortable in. :thumbup:
 
Shoot! Got a new consultant fired up and she may be signing her THIRD consultant and has more she is shooting for! She wants Fast Track and wants to walk! It is so exciting to have someone on your team that GETS IT! I may be an AD!!
 
Well if I can get everyone active this month I will do the walk as Director Wahoo!!!!!!!! Not totally tooting my own horn yet just a little Hoot!!!!!!!!!! For Now
 
I wish I was walking... It is my goal every year. Now it is a goal for next year. My sales have improved each year so I'm happy with that. Congrats to everyone that is walking.
 
I have set the goal to walk! I was hoping to get a recruit or two last month and still waiting for one of my April recruits to submit! Her 30 days is up on Monday! She will hopefully qualify!


Rae I know you want to so I think we should motivate eachother!!! LOL :D


If I manage to promote by signing 3 new consultants that submit and get my other 3 to submit I can promote! And my personal sales goal is $6000 so I should get there if I get those 3 new ones!

I did send an invite to all those who have expressed interest an invitation to our meeting and if they come they will get to choose a "prize" from my prize bag and if they sign at the meeting I will give them a choice of a new product when they qualify and if they sign by the 12th and attend our meeting on the 13th they get those and a $25 rebate from me! I think that on top of recruit special is a good deal and I really want to promote to walk this year!


I stated I'd be walking at our meeting after attending Director Express and I don't want egg on my face!!!:blushing: :D
 
I'll be walking! All I know for sure that I'm wearing is FLAT criss-cross black sandals that I think I can walking in without falling on my face! So, something that goes with black! :D

I'll be walking! As will 2 of the girls on my team.Sheila Dacey - AD & Excellence Award in Developing Leaders
  • Karen Chisholm - D
  • Annastasia McPherson - D
ETA: Karen still qualifies, but her mean 'ole OB won't write the note for her to travel from Japan to Chicago ... so she's having to miss NC. :(
