First Cluster Meeting: A Successful Start with Great Advice and Fun Activities!

In summary, the meeting went well and everyone enjoyed it. The director asked if she and the other director could join us, with the understanding that I lead it. I welcomed them and it went great. We had about 8 consultants and one of my potentials there including myself. My husband and another consultant's husband was there to help with the kids. They took them outside in my backyard (I have a playground set). The kids seemed to have a good time too.

I wanted to tell everyone thanks for the great advise you gave me. I planned my first cluster meeting. The meeting was last night and it went great. Everyone's attitude was great and everyone really enjoyed it. My director asked if she and the other director could join us, with the understanding that I lead it. I welcomed them and it went great. We had about 8 consultants and one of my potentials there including myself. So we will continue to do cluster meetings here at my house. I also allowed them to bring their children, so there was a real relaxed feeling in the group, knowing that they didn't have to rush off to pick up their kids from the babysitters. My husband and another consultant's husband was there to help with the kids. They took them outside in my backyard (I have a playground set). The kids seemed to have a good time too.

We covered bookings, recruiting and learned to play the queen of shoppers. We also had a couple of recipes: the cappucino mouse trifle bowl (to die for), Colossal Chopped salad (very easy and delicious) and some mini-pizzas(good kids recipe). So I explained what was involved in the preparation. Everyone loved it. There was more participation in the actual meeting, questions as well as answers and suggestions and everyone walked away with something they can add in their business. We are all looking forward to the next meeting.

So over all the meeting turned out to be a great success.

Thank you again.
 
CongratsCongratulations on a successful First Cluster Meeting. That's great. I am glad you had a good turnout (ours are usually small) and the stuff you did sounded really beneficial.
Glad it all worked out for you. It sounds like you have a gift to help others with their PC business and to lead. Keep up the good work.
I would have loved to have been there!

Debbie :D

Thanks everyone. Now I'm really ready for the next one. I think this time instead of making everything myself. I'm going to delegate. I think it will get everyone really involved. By the way I did the ribbons too and they really liked it.
 
Great idea!

That is the true sign of a leader, one who can skillfully delegate jobs to others and free herself up for other things.
That's what we do at our meetings. When our director is just too busy, she will ask those who are coming to volunteer to bring a new or favorite recipe. Depending on the meeting theme!
It will definitely get everyone involved and you can get everyone to talk about the recipe!
Was it easy to make?
What tools did it use?
Would it be a good demo recipe?

Debbie :D

My Director passes a sheet with the months listed and has people sign up to bring a recipe.
