Hera Hub's Global Sales Support Sub-Hub is open to any Hera Hub members who would like support and accountability in driving sales and generating income in their business. This Sub-Hub meets on the 1st + 3rd Mondays from 10-11am. Join the conversation at facebook.com/groups/salessubhub. New members always welcome!

Here's how the group will run — Brief introductions around the circle - 2-3 sentences of who you are and what you do (10 min total)

Divided up time so each person gets 5 minutes (depending on group size) to lay out:
* What they accomplished from their list of tasks and goals last week
* What they are putting on their list for this week
* Any requests for resources or connections
(approx 30-45 min depending on group size for this section)

Last section of the meeting is open for anyone to ask for help with a business challenge.�(15-30 min as needed)

Meeting should be contained within 1.5 hours. If we complete early, we end early so we can get to work!

Helpful Group Interaction Guidelines —

1. Respect confidentiality — what other people share about their lives belongs to them and should stay with them.

2. Be present in the moment — keep devices to a minimum and stay attentive to whoever has the floor.

3. Hold yourself accountable to your own journey — only you can create the change you want.

4. Ask for what you want clearly and specifically — especially when it comes to how you’d like the group to support you.

5. Speak respectfully, without blaming, shaming, or fixing.

6. Ask permission before offering feedback or advice — if someone hasn’t specified, it’s best to start with “what kind of support would you like right now?”

7. Be willing to allow for mistakes — yours and other people’s.

8. Make space for humor and the unexpected — keeping an open mind allows for the flow of miracles.

9. Be on time and stay until the end — this helps everyone feel valued and respected.

10. Please mute all electronics — use vibrate if you have to be on call for anything critical.

Bonjour! My name is Danielle, and I am a French professor with a B.A. in French from Georgetown University and a Master's in French language and civilization from New York University in Paris.

I have recently returned to the States after living in Lyon, France, and I am so excited to share what I have learned in my France experience with my students! I have fifteen years of experience tutoring French to children, high school and college students, and to adults, and I've had amazing results with all of my students. I have been a French professor at several colleges in San Diego, CA and in the Washington, DC area, and I also have experience working with diplomats to prepare them for the Foreign Service Exam in French. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring French and would love to share this beautiful language with you! I am also a bestselling author of six Paris-based novels, five short stories, the screenplay adaptation of my first novel, a book of poetry, and a memoir. I have over twelve years of experience editing and critiquing both fiction and non-fiction for other writers, and I love helping students with their creative writing assignments and college essays. I was also an English professor at a university in France as well as an ESL teacher at the Berlitz Language Centers in San Diego and New York City.

We will have time for members to bring up recent wins, any other challenges they are facing, or resources needed. We look forward to your contribution!

In this session, Hera Hub Founder and GURU program creator Felena Hanson will be sharing what works - and what doesn't - for the GURUs she has supported over the past 10 years. How can you leverage the GURU program to promote and grow your business? She will also be sharing best practices on how to deal with "difficult" visitors and answer your specific questions.

Hera Hub Carlsbad Pricing & Profitability GURU Nikkie Achartz will also be sharing how she has successfully leveraged the GURU program and advice on how you might be able to do the same moving forward.

*The GURU opportunity is available to Silver, Gold or Platinum Hera Hub members. The Guru topic must be business-focused and Gurus must commit to a minimum of 2 hours a month. Learn more here: https://herahub.com/carlsbad/optimize-membership/guru-application-carlsbad/*

Hera Hub's Professional Writers, Editors & Publishers Sub-Hub is for members who are professional writers in all fields as well as members who are writing a book and/or want to talk about writing for their businesses. Meetings are once a month, and vary between open discussions about writing progress, guest presentations from members, and "hot seats" where one member presents a problem or question related to writing in her business and other members ask follow-up questions and offer solutions. Welcome to any member who is looking for a supportive community of writers, is interested in learning how others make money from her writing, or wants to ask writing questions. Join the conversation, ask questions, share resources, and get to know the other writers in our Writers' Sub-Hub Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/writerssubhub. New members always welcome!  

Description: Get ready to state your goals, then work toward your goals in 25 min chunks of time with the virtual support of other Hera Hub members. No need to look pretty; just have your to-do list ready and arrive ready to work for as long as your schedule allows. Hope to see you there!

*This event is open to any Hera Hub member nationwide who considers herself a "coach" and works with individuals in a coaching, guidance, leadership, or consulting capacity.*
 
 Common challenges exist regardless of what type of coach you are, including client acquisition, intake, and management; marketing; bookkeeping; workshop hosting; business development, and more.
 
 Join us for our monthly Coaches Mastermind, in which we will use a timed "current challenge -> group feedback -> plan moving forward" format for everyone in the room to mastermind their coaching business issues with the group. There will also be opportunities for mock presentations to receive constructive criticism from the other coaches in the room.
 
 If you do not have a specific issue to discuss with the group, that's OK - come on by and share your expertise or simply start by listening in!
 
 **We also have a Global Coaches Sub-Hub Facebook group in which you can ask questions, share resources, and get to know the other coaches: facebook.com/groups/coachessubhub. New members always welcome!

Join board-certified physician, mindfulness teacher, and life coach Dr. Cindy Tsai to learn simple tools based in mindfulness to create your own calm. You will leave feeling grounded and relaxed to start your day and week on a high note!

Dr. Cindy Tsai is a board-certified physician, author, keynote speaker, and life coach who loves helping unfulfilled high-achievers become inspiring success stories. As a physician, she saw the detrimental impacts of chronic stress on the body and wanted to do more than prescribe medications as a bandaid. Through her own healing journey, she has explored and trained in a wide range of therapeutic modalities and emphasizes wellness and caring for the person as a whole. Using mindfulness practices and her Inspiring Success Story MethodTM, she has developed a powerful blueprint to help professionals step beyond their comfort zones and dare to achieve their dreams. 

Every Monday, we tap our member base for coaches, instructors, and counselors to lead a 20-minute mindfulness exercise to center ourselves and mentally prepare for the coming week. Through meditation, breathwork, and even sound healing, we gather together to begin the week as a community with our intentions firmly in place.

Here's how the group will run — Brief introductions around the circle - 2-3 sentences of who you are and what you do (10 min total)

Divided up time so each person gets 5 minutes (depending on group size) to lay out:
* What they accomplished from their list of tasks and goals last week
* What they are putting on their list for this week
* Any requests for resources or connections
(approx 30-45 min depending on group size for this section)

Last section of the meeting is open for anyone to ask for help with a business challenge.�(15-30 min as needed)

Meeting should be contained within 1.5 hours. If we complete early, we end early so we can get to work!

Helpful Group Interaction Guidelines —

1. Respect confidentiality — what other people share about their lives belongs to them and should stay with them.

2. Be present in the moment — keep devices to a minimum and stay attentive to whoever has the floor.

3. Hold yourself accountable to your own journey — only you can create the change you want.

4. Ask for what you want clearly and specifically — especially when it comes to how you’d like the group to support you.

5. Speak respectfully, without blaming, shaming, or fixing.

6. Ask permission before offering feedback or advice — if someone hasn’t specified, it’s best to start with “what kind of support would you like right now?”

7. Be willing to allow for mistakes — yours and other people’s.

8. Make space for humor and the unexpected — keeping an open mind allows for the flow of miracles.

9. Be on time and stay until the end — this helps everyone feel valued and respected.

10. Please mute all electronics — use vibrate if you have to be on call for anything critical.
