In this podcast we answer another member request!  Here is the question we answer: One of the questions that has come up in our discussions is whether it is our job to show/prove to our chapter that we are excellent at what we do. Or is it assumed that everyone in the group is great at what they do, and that we all know it? I know it might sound elementary, but I have spent a fair amount of time in my presentations talking about the quality of my services, with the assumption that others need to be convinced. Perhaps this is a good new podcast topic?

In this podcast we discuss a difficult but important topic that holds chapters back from their true potential.  Is it time your chapter weeds its garden?

Often we forget about the people that make up one of our largest networks....our family and friends.  We have a different type of relationship with these people, and often it makes us forget about them when it comes to asking for referrals and finding referrals for our other members.  In this podcast we talk about why this is a mistake and how to take the first step in becoming a gatekeeper for your family.
