Hullo, I'm Cys Bronner, BNI Executive Director, CRO and the Constant Social Media Networker.We all know that events are the life blood of any organization, but do we know the power of those events and trainings can have in a BNI Chapter?Today, I'm going to share with you how you can play your role as Events/Training/PR Coordinator of your BNI chapter. To you and the professionals in your business unit, this role is incredibly important and critical.Do you believe that leaders are learners? Yes, or no?That's the reason in BNI we have close to some 15 to 20 varieties of short mini workshops and trainings. We are continuously helping our members to understand their business. They understand how to even explain their business to their fellow members so that they can generate lots of referrals.  That, right there, is the reason every chapter has a very important coordinator called the Events/Training/PR Coordinator.If you this is your role as a BNI Coordinator, or your vision for next steps as a Leader, I've some suggestions for you that have come from various sources, including an amazing BNI Leader, Murali Sundaram of BNI Chennai.Let's talk about some simple ideas today and see which you can implement, helping all your members to attend trainings.We know that it's important that every member including the new members attend BNI's Member Success Program within the first thirty to sixty days of Membership or renewing membership. So please, start tracking your members whether they have attended MSP within the first critical days of starting their membership journey and keeping it fresh throughout.  After that, it's a sure win for everyone, if every member of your chapter attends at least one program session every quarter. That's forward motion! Every quarter at least one training. But Murali's excellent suggestion and recommendation are this: “Can we encourage our members to attend at least one workshop or a training at least once in 60 days?” You know what? I think we can, in fact, I've seen those members who are dedicated to making their membership work to their maximum ROI are the same ones who are already doing this. There are at least six different workshops members can attend in a year (every 60 days) – there's actually more, if you really want. Which means, what we can do is very simple. Check out your regional calendar, talk to your Chapter President, your Chapter Leadership, or your Director Consultant. Having an excel spreadsheet with all the members name and all the varieties of workshops, member development, events and training programs at the top is fabulous, and all you need do, is maintain and work with it. In fact, we are so committed to making this easy for our members that our regional team is working together to provide this to each chapter in the next few weeks with information for the upcoming year. With that, you can have a clear track record of which member attended which workshop on what day. That also helps you to talk to specific members and tell them, hey, you know, three months before you have attended a Success Program or Workshop, can you register for the next upcoming session? That's number one. Number two, talk to your Chapter Support Director or even the Regional Training Team. In our region, we have for you the current term's event and training calendar in a tracking document to help you know what the various trainings are that's going to happen every month before it happens. With this, you can start marketing the training in your chapter meeting. Our training team will help support you with a script for leveling up your marketing of every training progrBNI4Success Podcasts The Voice of BNI Greater Los Angeles; Where we'll talk about referral networking that works!http://bnipodcast4success.com

Dr. Whitney talks with Dr. Alissa Erogbogbo, Medical Director Consultant at Maven Clinic, about innovative, holistic care solutions for women everywhere—and about what it will take to truly support the health of working women worldwide. @mavenclinicwww.mavenclinic.com------Pre-Order My New Book: Doing it All: STOP OVER-FUNCTIONING and Become the Mom and Person You're Meant to BeDiscover how to stop doing it all and start doing what matters with this step-by-step guide to reclaiming your life as a working mom, written by an expert in maternal and child health.Today's working moms are burnt out, overwhelmed, and just plain stuck. Caught amid the endless, conflicting demands of caring for their families, hustling at work, managing their households, and a million-and-one other tasks, chores, and responsibilities, it's no wonder mom rage and mom guilt are at an all-time high. Working moms feel like they're responsible for everything, but nothing they do matters. They are doing it all—but getting nowhere.This is a feeling I know well. A practicing pediatrician and mother of two daughters—including one with special needs—I tried to do it all for years…until one particularly bad week brought me to her knees, and then to a revelation: I couldn't wait years for the systems of inequality and cultural pressures women face to change, I needed a plan to fix my life now. A plan that would help me stop over-functioning, stop blaming myself, and start creating a life that was centered on me. My values, my priorities, my vision of a purposeful, aligned life. Years later, I'm living my centered life and now I want to help you do the same.In Doing It All, I share my blueprint for achieving a centered life as a real working mom with real working mom problems. This is not about achieving a dazzling fantasy life of ease, wealth, and perfection, but a realistic life that is purposeful, organized, and aligned with your personal values. A life where you're able to prioritize what really matters and where everything—even laundry—has its place. Work calls? Yep. Time with your kids? Absolutely. Time for yourself? A top priority (yes, you read that right!).This has nothing to do with manifesting positive vibes. You won't find a single affirmation here. Instead, you'll discover a practical framework, step-by-step plan, and over forty targeted exercises, prompts, and activities to help you:Create a vision of your life that is centered on your values and goals and then break that vision into actionable priorities so you can start making it a reality. Implement systems to deal with the annoying-but-necessary “have-tos” in your life quickly and efficiently. De-clutter your home, your calendar, and your mind of meaningless, burdensome junk Develop equity in your relationship with your parenting partner Create and maintain boundaries around emotionally laden calls on your attention. Give your kids what they need to be healthy, happy, and successful—without giving away too much of yourself. Prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being with intentional scheduling and rest And more! Featuring powerful personal stories from real...

It takes a lot understanding and communication skills for educators, trainers, and parents to establish a connection with teens and young adults. In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Ruth Young, External Consultant at Young Enterprise Northern Island and Managing Director at Ruthless Media, talks about her relentless help for the youth of Northern Island. For others, they term it as ‘difficult behaviour’, for Ruth, it was just plain difference of personalities. If we learn to listen to their emotions and their needs, the amount of value we can impart to them will be unlimited. Ruth has been forever passionate in helping people. Ruth also shares how she started her own company, The Ruthless Media, and her own brand Wee Jowee. Listen in as she shares her successes and learnings in both life and business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ruth’s family is very important to her. She’s very grateful to have parents who provided for her and also shaped her beliefs and values as early as possible. They were a big influence in igniting her fire in the belly, which is helping other people. She was always active in the church. She spent the first part of her career helping young people. Understanding and communicating with the youth without being authoritative is a gift. It was always easy for Ruth to empathise and connect with them. She also worked for The Bytes Project in providing training for the youth. And now, she serves as the External Consultant of Young Enterprise Northern Island. But Ruth had to move Church due to the attitudes her previous church had on those who remarry. This brought a realisation to her, that her faith in God is greater than anything—greater than other people’s judgment on her. Ruth also creates her content at Wee JoWee and shares there her motherhood stories. Though giving birth is one of the most wondrous things, it can also be difficult for mothers to manage stress when raising up a child. Ruth shares her learnings through her vlog so other mothers who need guidance can find it easily online. BEST MOMENTS “I just want to be that person that helps them and make everything better.” “Giving doesn’t mean giving all of yourself.” “My faith isn’t necessarily in people; my faith is in God.” “I don’t shove my beliefs down people’s throat…I’m always open to conversations ton understand other people’s views.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Visit Wee JoWee, where Ruth shares about her motherhood! https://www.weejowee.com/ Listen to Fire In The Belly Podcast in Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061)!

As a psychology major, a corporate executive, a coach and a Director Consultant for BNI I’ve gotten tons of training on building relationships and managing my reputation. I don’t always do it perfectly but I’m constantly learning and integrating this learning into my life and my business. Because of this training I’m also really good at identifying when others are doing things that hurt relationships and hurt their reputation. What also catches my attention is when they do these things oblivious to the consequences. I see it all the time and it is very concerning to me because I know it’s hurting those people’s opportunities to grow in their career or grow their business. People want to do business with people they know like and trust. The same is true within organizations. Managers want to promote those they know, like and trust. What I’m going to address is TRUST. I want to help you to not only avoid losing trust; I want to help you to know what you can do to build trust as well. Here are five things that will cause people to lose trust in you. I’m also doing a free webinar on How to be Recognized and Rewarded for the work you do.

For many years, and in many previous episodes, I have discussed how spending just 15 minutes a day working ON my BNI membership changed the results I was seeing.  Simply by scheduling dedicated time helped me become more effective.  The problem is it isn't really that simple to do.  So I offered to our Director Consultant team the opportunity for a couple of people to go through a coaching program with me if they were interested in installing this 15 minute a day program into their memebership and business.  Two people immediately jumped in, and one of our Managing Directors asked if I would be willing to take a third person who was not on our team.Thankfully I said yes, and in this episode we introduce you to Jamie Stein, a member in New Hampshire and one of our Director Consultants
