PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Hello EONY!
Once again I have to say BRAVO! We lined it up and YOU OWNED IT!
The Team Board - with the help of so many others - has worked incredibly hard to put together such a stellar and diverse lineup of events. From our Dine Arounds, In the Boardroom Series, Masterclasses, unique MyEO events, members are showing up and loving it!
Recently “recap” emails sharing the overall experience scores and more intimate details of some of these events have been shared to keep everyone informed and engaged in “what’s going on in our chapter!” I am fortunate to be able to review the full survey results and feedback for each event. The sky-high scores and incredibly positive member comments speak for themselves! It’s absolutely been amazing to see such a high level of engagement and commitment from our Chapter. Our members—and our strong sense of Community—genuinely enhance the EO Experience!
One event in particular really stood out for me when I was reviewing the survey. This was Unmasking What Matters with Sandra Joseph. Aside from the “scores” it truly was the member “takeaways” that resonated deeply with me. Here are a few from the survey:
- I really loved this. I thought it would be okay, and it really blew me away!
- Sandra was amazing! This event exceeded my expectations 10X!! Take off your mask and be YOU! The Authenticity is what is "real"
- Be thankful for who I am and be more conscious and unmask my most authentic and highest self and stay in this role anywhere anytime.
- How she talked about studying/analyzing herself when she was at her happiest self and then comparing that when she wasn't to see when she wasn't being authentic
- Using my interactions with a familiar person as a benchmark for authenticity with less familiar people
I was fortunate to have attended this event as well and had so many similar take-aways; however, one that really stands out for me is Authenticity. Aside from the “personal” take-aways, it really made me think about our Chapter and EO Community. The Authenticity of what we have together as a community is like no other organization or group. We are always better together! That being said, let’s not just keep the EONY Authenticity just within our Chapter, but show it to the rest of our EO Community! Just in the past month, there must be nearly 10 requests for visiting member “meet-ups”. I personally have had some of my most amazing EO Moments while hosting visiting members and while visiting other Chapters. They truly are Amazing Opportunities to meet some great fellow entrepreneurs who are passionate, dynamic and driven about everything they do – not just their business but in their personal lives as well.
The Power of EO always starts with YOU, the member. I know I talk about our learning calendar quite a bit and definitely a huge portion of that is for the learning, but the learning doesn’t always just come from the content of the speaker, it comes from you. And when the speaker is amazing and we get to experience that and spend time TOGETHER, that’s when the EO Magic Truly Happens! Connections and moments that can last a lifetime.
I just wanted to share.
Keeping it Real!
Cheers!
