[Women] Oct. 13th Thriving Service

[Chris Hoke]

Annie:

I had offered to do # 5 - Expanding your experience. Talk about my hospice experience which really challenged me. However, I would need to talk with you to see what “angle” to use. But if you do not get other women to participate and just do it yourself, that is fine with me.

I cannot do the conference call on the 8th at 7. Later, but not at 7.
Chris

I am happy to take on the bulk of the 12 topics by interspersing what I would say with what some of you would say.  For example, I speak about #1, Suzyn talk about about #2 and then I do #3, and then someone else does #4, etc.   So we need five more minimum to sign up.  I am including the "thriving" ideas at the end of this email.

There's nothing wrong with asking if you did a good job, or what people think of your work, or decisions or goals. It's all in how you ask, and who you ask.
