Events Calendar

Please join us for Mindful Mondays - 30 minute morning sessions that are member-hosted and focused on mindfulness to prepare for the week ahead.

This week's Mindful Monday will be hosted by Elaine Bryan, of www.bodyandsoulnourishment.com. Elaine is a registered yoga teacher, reiki master, and holistic nutritionist.

What we'll be doing:
A 20 minute chakra balancing meditation to assist you in feeling more grounded, centered, and safe as we work with the 7 energetic centers in which our energy flows through. This can bring more balance within body and mind to facilitate your ability to heal mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally to bring in more awareness, joy, and gratitude.

Join us for two hours a week to work on your business development! We can all do anything for a couple of hours and with regular business development activities you may find yourself with some great new biz!

Business development can be following up on leads, doing that proposal that's been hanging on too long, working on your email or social media campaigns, anything that drives new business!

Hera Hub GURUs are subject matter experts who donate their time to meet one-on-one with local entrepreneurs (members and non-members welcome) to answer questions they may have on a variety of topics related to their field. Think of it like “office hours” with your professor. It’s a great way to get free mentoring and advice from business experts. Just drop by during GURU hours, no appointment necessary!

Natalia Tafur has over 15 years of experience using research results and activating them on the client side. In addition, I have over 10 years experience moderating several types of qualitative research from focus groups to one-on-one interviews.

Natalia founded Keyhole Research and Consulting out of a passion to apply a tangible human element to research and convert research findings into easily-digestible and actionable insights. Her areas of expertise include product design, concept testing, quality, luxury and customer journey. She has a deep understanding of generational cohorts, as well as societal and cultural macrotrends. Her methodologies include focus groups, one-on-one interviews, ethnographies and online diaries and surveys.

Areas that Natalia Tafur can provide expertise and clarity in:

1. Here are some of my business objectives, how can research help me achieve these objectives?
2. Can you review some questions I would like to include in a DIY online survey?
3. How can I find the right research respondents to answer my survey?

Just because we can't meet in person does not mean that we can't network with each other! Let's seize this opportunity to get to know other Hera Hub members and their businesses, and see how we can help each other survive and thrive in this uncertain time. The connections we make now can serve us long after coronavirus is gone. 
This weekly meeting is open to any Hera Hub member who is interested in connecting with, learning from, and supporting other members.

Each meeting will have a group leader who will host the meeting in a round-table format with a mix of icebreaker/getting-to-know-you questions (e.g. "Would you rather...?" or "What's your fave...?") and business-related questions (e.g. "What is your ask from the group?" or "What are you looking forward to in your business?"). The meeting will last for one hour. You are welcome to attend weekly or just attend whenever you can!

Hera Hub Tuesday Accountability Group
(Get those goals, gals!)

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.

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!

For Parents of Teens: Empower your kids to be independent so you can get work done! with Carmen Proctor, PMP

Fall is upon us and the new school year is starting - from our homes. Parents are scrambling to figure out how they will be able to get any work done once "virtual school" in full swing. Carmen Proctor, PMP and Founder of the Teen SMART Goals app, is hosting this Business Booster for working parents of teens (middle schoolers and high schoolers), where she will discuss:
- preparing for the day
- productivity/focus hacks for teens
- checking in for accountability
... so parents can get work done!

Carmen will provide a worksheet/guide that parents can use with their teens to work on together so they are ready for distance learning in the fall.

Carmen have been working for over 20 years in Project and Program Management, and I am now bringing my goal-setting, planning, and implementation skills to others by teaching the SMART goal methodology through her Teen SMART Goals app: www.teensmartgoals.com. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cproctor/
