Okay, that was the weirdest meeting EVER! I can't really describe why, just not what I expected. I knew more about Pampered Chef and the new products from being on here 24/7 than the DIRECTORS!! It was really clique-y and kinda felt like high school...

I will go back I guess, but not really the motivating GO ME I was expecting.

I AM MOTIVATED- to be a director so I can have my own meetings!!

 

[lacychef]

Well, at least now you can say you went! And it is important that you do have self-motivation.

GO GILL, GO GILL.....

I'm sorry it wasn't what you expected Gill.....I thought that with that one being your first one (and you are so far away) they would have made a big to do about it and made you feel really welcome.

When I had my meeting on Sunday I too felt that in some area's I knew more than my director. She would be trying to look up information on some of the new items and I already had it. I think that in some area's I knew more because of not being at leadership and just waiting for all of theinformation and all of our discussions of the new products.

Gill I know you said that you only have a couple of people to have a meeting with, you could still have your own. My director only had four of us at her meeting on Sunday. She's just promoted and I think she has 6 under her.

Gillian - I would start holding your own. My hospitality director has meeting every month and only myself and one of her consultants show up, but we have the best time. I have gotten to know them very well and enjoy their company very much.

Sorry you didn't have the best time at your meeting.

Thanks guys- I don't want to hurt my director's feelings, so I am going to wait until I hit director (soon!) and have meetings with another director in my town and cluster that only has 3 in the area. We talked about it all the way home from my director's house...

 

[nikkijo]

With youliving so far away from your director I'm sure that youwill not hurt her feelings.

Back to the original question about a theme. My director's last name is Batt. My friends all thought it was hilarious that I was part of the Batt Cluster. (Do I hear any of you humming the Batman theme? Trust me. Almost every one of my friends did.)

Now she's "teamed up" with another director for our meetings. Her last name is Ball.

That's right, ladies and gents. I'm now part of the Batt & Ball Team. Here in Northern Indiana we have no need to think really hard about names or mascots. As for theme songs, how does this sound?

Take me to the PC Show.
Take me out with the gals.
Show me the Chopper and Mandoline.
Stoneware's the best thing to bake stuff in.
Now I'll ask about opportunities.
I'll try it on as a test.
Wow, it's great to work for yourself
At the Pampered Chef!

Now all you need is a logo...

hows this?

 

[raebates]

Hey Darby, that's perfect!

 

[jdavis]

So Gill did you learn what to do and what not to do when you start holding your own meetings?????Rae, that is so funny! It reminds me of 2 years ago when I went to my first conference and we had to make up a 'commercial' for PC at our exec. dinner at each table.

 

[gilliandanielle]

It was seriously like high school... you could visably see the different groups of people. I thought it would be more like here where everyone has their own separate lives and interests, but we all join together over PC. I just felt out of place and left out. AND my director had a "reserved" seat for me up front with the other wannabe directors.

My director didn't know anything about the recruiting promo (isn't that what the meeting is for?) so I told her that you need to recruit between 1/22 and2/28 and if they qualify within 30 days you get the bag. This other director (she was Ms. Alaska if that helps show her personality) says "You're wrong! It is recruit between 1/22 and 1/31 and you get the bag when they qualify in 30 days." I knew I was right but let it go. I came home, checked the flyer, and sure enough...I was right! She was apparently talking about the conference attendees special. Now ALL 20 people at the meeting have incorrect info about the promo. I just felt like I wasted my time and knew everything they were talking about anyway...

 

[jdavis]

I know how you feel Gill, when I do get a chance to go to a meeting any more, the people that I do know and get along with some of them quit or just quit going to her meetings, so I feel kinda' funny, not that I have been since this summer, but that's about how it goes.

 

[gilliandanielle]

I just can't imagine being at conference with these people and not being able to ESCAPE!!
