We wanted to give the girls a chance to get to know us better, so we decided to start spotlighting one leader at each meeting. Paula was the first leader to share something personal/unexpected... She is an incredible singer and musician.
Joan and I have done a lot of traveling together: Uganda, Mexico, Ecuador...
Every time I'm with her she starts and ends my day with a motivational saying. I simple treat that I absolutely cherish! Joan shared one of her special reflections with the 2009 team.
Ashley Hunt and Adrian Brown working on decorating their journals.
The focus of the meeting was on Image and Self-Reflection. Sheryl Bryan, one of our leaders, has spent almost her entire career in the field of Image/Style Consulting and Personal Shopping. She was the perfect person to lead a team exercise on non-verbal communication... Sheryl talked with the girls about how they want to be perceived by others and reminded them that we are all constantly being judged based on what we wear and how we carry ourselves.
The rest of the leaders acted as Sheryl's show-and-tell. We paired-up and modeled two contradictory styles that could fit one persona... Mallory and I were students. Sara and Joan were teachers. Paula and Vanessa were business owners. Vanessa took the cake in terms of costume. There was not a girl in the room that wanted to work for her or buy the product she sold... V, thanks for playing such a trashy CEO!
