Has anyone done this before? Any hints or tips?
 
Ooh, Janice! Which one are you doing? I'm doing one too!Everyone who is doing my workshop is going to be on a conference call to discuss it. Are you having a call? I'm sure that will answer lots of your questions.
 
Carolyn did last year - check in with her! :)
 
There's a TeleClass about preparing a conference workshop.

Thank you, Ann! I am adding it to my Tele-Class list!
 
Janice~

No advice, just wanted to say YOU GO GIRL!!

 
Janice, are you going to share which one?:D
 
You can add me to the list of presenters too (humbled to be in the company of Deb and Janice!). My topic is recruiting...which is ironic since I am kinda the anti-recruiting recruiter:rolleyes:.

(I just hope I'm not jinxing myself by sharing I got the call...don't know if I'll still get to do the workshop if I don't make TPC in recruiting :eek: ...but one of my fellow team members is still on track to qualify on Monday [go Eileen!]...so that should do it.)

Go Kris - Go Eileen!!!!
 
Kris-- you gotta share which one you're teaching, so I can make sure to change my schedule. That way, I can sit in the front row and make faces at you. :)
 
You guys are so nice to let me live vicariously through you! Thanks!

Oh, Ann, I just about spit out my soda when I read your post (I can soooo picture you doing this!). I have no idea which day I'm presenting, but I'll be sure to let you know (maybe);)

I'll sit next to her and slap her if she does that to you! So, what are you teaching and when are you teaching it?
 
I don't know which class...I was so surprised by the call that I didn't ask. I know it's one of the recruiting related workshops...hopefully not the one I signed up to take! :eek:

Thanks Linda for the offer to keep Ann in check...but I'm getting a mental picture of Ann slapping back ala Moe and Curly!

I guess that wouldn't help with your concentration either huh? Oh well, if you can't beat 'em then join 'em. I'll start practicing my funny faces so I can sit up front and compete with Ann. LOL!
 
That's funny, Kris. hmm.... me, Linda and KG - the three stooges. :D
My bird says "bwoop bwoop bwoop bwoop" like Curly. And DH and his friends, who work on each other's cars on Friday nights, refer to themselves as "Three Stooges Auto Repair." Or they did. Now they're "S&S Parts and Farts."
 
...and KG! It's not like you are aren't putting any pressure on me or anything.

I think I'm tentatively scheduled for the first iteration of the 'top recruiters' workshop.

Ann, love the "S&S Parts and Farts"!
