Good Afternoon Chapter Leaders!

Over the weekend, James (my husband) took me to see the movie Inception.

Have you seen it yet?

It's a mind bender with many layers.

At the end, I gave him a big kiss and thanked him for taking me to a romance movie.

He was stunned...

Ah the joys of many perspectives - and the power of having volunteer leaders from across organizations come together to learn in the Playground.

We've picked up more than 100 new members in the last week alone.

Thanks to those of you who are spreading the word.

As more people become better trained volunteer leaders, the bigger the impact we can make in our communities, country and world!

Every webinar you attend and article you read takes you one step closer to outrageous results!

A special welcome to all our new members.

Yours in a Surplus of Happy, Active Volunteers!

4 Things to Help You...
  • Turn Your Chapter into a Recruiting Machine
  • What New Leaders Need to Know
  • Social Media for Your Chapter Made Easy
  • 2011 Lazy Leader Road Show Update and Request for Help
As well as Upcoming Webinar Playdates



Turn Your Chapter into a Recruiting Machine

How do members view recruiting in your chapter?
  • Is it an annual painful activity some unlucky soul gets to lead the charge on?
If you get one or two new members, the person gets a check-mark and is done.
  • Or is growing your chapter a way of life for all members?
They do it naturally and with enthusiasm?
  • What's the difference between the two chapter perspectives?
It's not location, focus or the year 1999.

The difference is something you can manage as a leader - and can learn tomorrow, September 9th.

Join Cynthia D'Amour, author of
The Lazy Leader's Guide to Outrageous Results for a dynamic discussion about how you can transform your chapter into a recruiting machine.

(If you can't make it tomorrow, no worries. The recording will be in the archives in the Playground Library for 45 days by the end of the week.)


 
What New Leaders Need to Know

Looking ahead to how we can help chapter leaders, we decided it would be good to know what new leaders wished they knew.

So we created a survey asking experienced leaders to think back, given what you know now, what you wished you knew then.

And asking new leaders what would help them be successful.

Please take two minutes and share your insights.

I'll be compiling the answers into a summary report to share in the Playground.

The more folks who give their responses, the more accurate we will be.

Here's the survey link:

Thanks in advance for helping us help you!



Social Media for Chapters Made Easy

Is your chapter using social media to promote your chapter and its activities?

Not sure where to start?

On Sept. 15th, Cynthia's friend, KiKi L'Italien, social media maven, blogger and senior consultant at Delcor will join us on the Playground.

We'll have a lively discussion with KiKi exploring about the simple ways you can use social media as a chapter leader.

Bring your questions. Should be an interesting conversation.

2011 Lazy Leader Road Show Update

Next year I'll be taking to the road once again to bring Lazy Leader training into communities across America.

Thanks to everyone who suggested their city as a potential stop.

Stay tuned to learn the cities that made the cut.

In the meanwhile, I'm working to find sponsors this fall to help lower the door charge next year.

Have you had great success with sponsors?

Do you have a sample of a prospectus that worked well?

Any tips for a novice?

Getting sponsors is a stretch for me - but the increased impact trained Lazy Leaders can make with their chapters makes it worth the pain.

Would love any insights you might have about how to do it more easily.

Thanks! Cynthia
