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.

This week's Mindful Monday will be lead by Dr. Aimee Holdwick!

Join us to practice a simple meditation for self-care! We will learn about the Dantian and the Microcosmic Orbit, which are foundational to Traditional Chinese Medicine. The microcosmic orbit is an energy cultivation technique, involving deep breathing exercises, meditation, and concentration techniques that develop the flow of qi along certain pathways of energy in the human body.

Dr. Aimee C. Holdwick, DAOM, L.Ac. is a
licensed acupuncturist and enjoys teaching this technique to her
patients to provide them some simple self-care that can be used whenever
needed!

Hera Hub's Global Sales Support Sub-Hub meets every first and third Monday at 10am. Welcome to all Hera Hub members who could use support in bringing in business!

We will start with introductions for any new members joining us, then engage in a hybrid mastermind/accountability roundtable discussion. Each member will have an opportunity to share her current business challenges and goals, and receive feedback and suggestions from the group. If common issues arise, embers may choose to focus the meetings on these "hot topics." The goal is to be flexible and support each other as we strive to make those sales and close those deals!

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.

Kathryn Evans will lead a discussion on best practices for leveraging LinkedIn for content marketing. Come with questions!

Kinsey O’Leary, owner of The Sound Space, is a sound therapist, Reiki master, mentor, teacher and host.

After completing her B.S. Biochemistry and Cell Biology at UC San Diego, Kinsey specialized in biomarker and bioactive molecule analysis. Always feeling a call towards a greater understanding of the natural world and human experience, she transitioned to teaching meditation classes and a variety of alternative healing modalities. Today, through The Sound Space, Kinsey helps to bridge the gap between art, science, and spirituality.

Kinsey and The Sound Space host sound bath experiences that are used to tune the brain into alpha and theta brainwave states. In these states, listeners are able to let go of stress, enter states of deep meditation, and create an internal state for healing and regeneration throughout the body.

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.

Let's regroup! The Coaches Sub-Hub has been meeting monthly for over 1.5 years now. With the addition of so many new members, we'd love to hear how our current coaches are doing and what you'd like to see from this Sub-Hub. Come to share about your business challenges. Please consider the topics you'd like to discuss and what you might be able to contribute to the group!

*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!

Demystifying the Hybrid Presentation: Essentials for presenting both virtually & in-person

As the world continues to re-open, hybrid presentations are likely going to be the norm for a while. Going forward, many conferences, events and organizations will likely use some combination of in-person and virtual presentations at their gatherings.

Sarah Flocken and Melissa Lee have nearly two decades of combined experience in presenting and preparing others for public speaking engagements. They will be simultaneously sharing hybrid presentation tips based on their backgrounds, and testing out Hera Hub’s brand-new hybrid Business Booster model. 

Come learn, share your experience, and start eliminating your anxiety around hybrid presentations as we move into the “new new normal.”
