My First Stampin' Up Leadership Experience: Day 2 started with Breakfast then Kay & I headed over to the Convention Center for the Morning General Session. As we were waiting for the session to begin. Kay noticed that her friend Natalia was setting in the room infront of us. Natalia doesn't live in Minnesota with us so she doens't see her very often only at Convention, this was both Kay & Natalia's first leadership too so I made sure to take a photo for Kay because the day before Kay lost her camera.
Natalia took this picture of Kay & I while waiting for the general session to start. General Session included the 'State of Stampin' Up", it was a presenation by Scott Nielsen, Stampin' Up's CFO. It was hilarious. Scott did "Mr Nielsen's Neighborhood", he even sang "Mr Rogers Neighborhood". He had some neighbors visit then he presented the finanical to them and afterward he Salsa Danced with them! It was fabulous!!!
After General Session I had my next Leadership 2012 Breakout Class. Title Benefit Class that was presented by Bonnie Thurber. This class was great, we were able to hear what our current title benefits were and what we needed to achieve our next promotions. I made a plan for the next 6 months to what I need to do to be promoted to Manager!
Next was lunch, today's lunch wasn't as good for me. It was a chicken which was really good, but it also was green beans and mac-n-cheese and a brownie. I do not like green beans or mac-n-cheese but the brownie was also really good.
After lunch I headed to my next breakout class Coaching For Performance presented by Natalie White & Jim Pitt. I thought this class was great help with for me to learn how to improve the coaching my team. They tought us the coaching method they use to coach demonstrators in their business building program. I am looking forward to using this to help my team grow their business.
My last Leadership 2012 Class was Retaining & Engaging Your Downline presented by Donna Griffith & Patsy Waggoner. This was my favorite class at leadership. Patsy taught us what she does at her team meetings and what she does to recognize her team members. I learned so much since I got back I have been busy working on making changes to my own team meetings and downline recogniation program.
Our last night we went out went for Italian. Our group had so much fun together. Pictured above clockwise Lisa, Connie, Ann, Kay, Valerie, Slyvia, Kerrie, Me , Cassy & Terri.
