Good Morning Chapter Leaders!
 
I've spent the last week working on plans for a 2011 Lazy Leader Road Show.

We'll be bringing a one-day Lazy Leader workshop to communities across America.

It's going to be a little different than last time (2009) because we are going to handle all the meeting logistics and registration.

We are also looking at going to as many as 20 communities instead of just 10!

Stay tuned. I'll be asking for some folks to help me do some brainstorming - probably early this fall.

All very exciting!

I'm convinced as more volunteer leaders get trained to be Lazy Leaders, having a surplus of volunteers is easy to achieve.

In the meanwhile, we'll keep doing the webinars in the Playground to help move everyone forward.

Yours in a Surplus of Happy, Active Volunteers!

3 Things to Help You...
  • Last Chance for Input
  • Are You Shutting Down Your Volunteers With Your Thanks?
  • Tapping the Abundance of People Who Want to Volunteer
As well as Upcoming Webinar Playdates
 


Last Chance for Input

Early next week we'll be finalizing the fall Playground webinars calendar.

Chapter Leaders, if you haven't filled out the survey yet, I would love to hear from you what would help you the most.

I've set up a short 2-question survey.

It should just take 1-2 minutes to fill out and will help us create an even better mix of webinars for you this fall.

Here's the link:
http://www.chapterleadersplayground.org/surveys/?id=Fall_2010

Go there now.

The survey will close this Sunday, August 1st.



Are You Shutting Down Your Volunteers with Your Thanks?

Or supporting them in growth?

Appreciating volunteers by thanking them is a solid way to keep them coming back.

Did you know how you give thanks can also impact their confidence and ability to grow?

Not all thanks are created equally.

(This also applies to how you interact with colleagues and children.)

Join Cynthia D’Amour, MBA, author of The Lazy Leader's Guide to Outrageous Results to learn a 3-step approach to giving thanks - and the growth potential behind it.

It’s simple, fast and can change lives.

If you want to get others involved and help them be more confident trying new things and stretching their comfort zone, this will be an interesting program for you.

Tapping Into the Abundance of People Who Want to Volunteer

There are lots of people who want to volunteer - and can't find a good fit for them.

When they explore options, they are frequently offered a monthly two-hour commitment on a committee.

That's nice for some - and many are looking for something different.

They need and want an opportunity to make a difference that also fits the small holes in their calendars.

They are 10% volunteers.

They can't give 110% - but they want to give something.

Join Cynthia D’Amour, MBA, author of The Lazy Leader's Guide to Outrageous Results to learn more about the 10% volunteers and how you can use them in your chapter.
