Good Afternoon Chapter Leaders!

Which matters more - improvement or results compared to others?

A week ago I walked my second 5K with gusto - and took 8:30 off the time of my first 5K.

It's a nice improvement - but I'm still very slowed compared to others.

The competitor in me is frustrated.

James and my trainer both urge me to celebrate progress and what I learned.

If I don't honor my fitness path, the lessons of the journey will be missed.

As a chapter leader, do you make sure you and your team celebrate your progress as you go?

Also lots of exciting stuff coming your way for the rest of fall. We've highlighted some below.

Yours in a World of Happy, Active Volunteers!

Special for Women Leaders

Do you wish you knew how to:
  • Crack the old boys clubs?
  • Speak to men to make them listen and respect you more?
  • Feel more confident in dealing with men?
I'm very excited to have Dr. Nancy O'Reilly, PsyD joining me for a Playground webinar.

Nancy is a clinical psychologist, researcher, philanthropist and founder of the WomenSpeak Project, She has devoted her career to educating, motivating and empowering women to make a positive difference in the world. Nancy also serves on many boards.

The focus of this program is to help women feel more empowered in their role as leaders. I'll start the questions and then open the floor to all the participants.

I was recently interviewed by Nancy on her WomenSpeak.com program. Fell in love with her and am totally excited about the great advice she's going to be able to share with all of you!

If you want to claim your power and be more confident, this is the program for you.

Is Your Board a Team of Engaging Leaders?

Would you like to have me, Cynthia D'Amour, speak at your chapter meeting - at no extra cost to your chapter?

It's possible.

I'll be personally presenting the award to the winning chapter of our soon-to-debut Engaging Leaders Award.

Thanks to our wonderful reviewers, we are in the process of fine-tuning the program's application and promotion.

In the meanwhile, here's some secret heads up for Playground members:

The Engaging Leaders Award is a team award for the chapter leadership team that makes great strides in getting others more involved.

You'll be asked about:
  • How you trained your leaders to be more effective at engaging more members.
  • How THREE of your leaders in three separate projects/areas of focus/programs did outreach and got more members engaged. (We'll be looking for increased involvement, results and photos.)
  • The biggest challenge was to engaging more members.
  • The biggest lesson your leaders learned as they took efforts to engage more members.
The promotions should go live in next few weeks. Wanted you to know in advance if you are interested.

Application will be due by March 30, 2012 - so anyone who wants a shot at the title and prize has time to make it happen.
