Going to Upline Cluster Meetings

In summary, the conversation discusses attending cluster meetings after one's recruiter has been promoted to director. The main question is whether it is acceptable to still attend the upline director's cluster meetings. Some suggest attending both meetings, while others believe it may be seen as betrayal. However, the general consensus is that attending both meetings would provide valuable training and support for the consultant.

So, I used to go to cluster meetings until my recruiter promoted to director, now she has her own meetings. Is it ok to still go to my upline director's cluster meetings? My director doesn't seem to mind, but I just was wondering if that was rude?
 
Hmmm. That's a tricky situation. I would think that deep down, she'd feel like you were betraying her. I think I would feel like you didn't think my meetings were good enough.

BTW, I love both of the quotes on the bottom of your posts!
 
I think you would be o.k. if you go to both. But that is just my opinion.
 
Why?

would you not want to go to your Director's meetings? Are they boring, uninformative? I would suggest that if you want to go to your uplines meetings that you also attend your Director's meetings as well. Because of course, you are supposed to attend your Director's cluster meetings not your upline Director's cluster meetings.

This is definately a tricky situation!! I would just be in the open whatever your decision is!
 
Is one closer to you than the other? I would also suggest going to your director's meetings, then if you're available go to your upline's also. Have you talked to your recruiter/director about it? Just give her a call & see what she says!

I have been going to my Director's meetings, which are great. The only thing is that, and I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way (please!), I'm the one in my cluster with the most experience and I just like to talk to some more experienced consultants. I'm talking about in addition to my cluster meetings. My director and I talk about riding up together to the other meetings, and she doesn't seem to mind. I'm just wondering if anyone else does this?
 
Sounds great!!Anne,

That is fabulous! What a great opportunity to be able to attend both meetings! I wish I was close enough to my upline to be able to do that! My upline is in Washington and in Illinois...no where near Wyoming!!:D
 
Sounds like you are on the right track. If you've discussed going together, that puts a different spin on the situation. Go. Enjoy. Soak up all that information.
 
I think it'd be a super opportunity to go to both!

My recruiter just promoted also, but our Director comes down to us:cool: . Anyway, I think my Director (recruiter) has a few inactive, so it wouldnt be much of a meeting anyway:rolleyes:

Directors all have to start somewhere. I am sure your director would love the support and experience you would bring to her meetings. I just started my own team meetings 4 months ago. I was so nervous. I fed off my director who thought it was time to push me out of the nest. At first I didn't think I would be able to meet the needs of my team, but what I have found is that they like the smaller group and the fact that we can focus on whatever topic they feel they need addressed.
I had 6 show up to the last team meeting and that was exciting. We got so much covered with that size group versus a group of 30+.
There's nothing wrong with visiting your upline's meetings either.There's never too much training!

I would love to go to 2 cluster meetings every month! I am such a dork, and I love learning all the new things my director shows us at our cluster meeting. I think your recruiter and director would be fine with you going to both meetings - your input is imporatant to the new recruits.

Move over & make some room for me on the "dork couch" - I love cluster meetings and was SO bummed when my AD told me it was time to start doing my own meetings now that I was a Director. I WISH I had the time to go to her meetings AND hold my own!!
