What is the structure of the Members Forum?
The Forum takes place at Members Only events and is an opportunity for all members to engage in the conversation. Its a completely confidential open forum which is facilitated by a trained coach or facilitator.
Any topic is open for discussion, whether that be external factors influencing local business or business issues/challenges being faced by a member. Forum topics might include marketing ideas – perhaps something that is really working for you in your business which you want to share with the group. You may have read a great business book and want to discuss it, or you may have been to a conference and been inspired by a guest speaker and want to share that with members.
What should I do if I can’t make a meeting?
Please tell us as soon as you know that you cannot make a meeting. There are no refunds for missed meetings, but you are at liberty to send a member of staff in your place. Whether you are coming as a member or a guest, you musto register for each monthly event on the EventBrite invitation that you receive. This allows us to properly organise the catering for the evening.
Do I have to prepare an ‘elevator pitch’?
No. At Guest Events your table captain will ask you about yourself and your business, then introduce you to the rest of the room.
In Members Only meetings we do go around the table giving brief introductions, summarising who we are, what our company does, and why should someone use us as opposed to our competitors, but we do not ask you to prepare a presentation or pitch.
