Our February 3rd meeting featured a total of 23
members and guests and a fun filled meeting.
Tony Centorino served as the Toastmaster.
Danette Fitzgerald opened up the meeting with a funny
story about how she parlayed a raise by telling her boss that she was in high
demand…..It’s what she didn’t tell her boss that earned her the raise!
Ian Brooks provided several quotes of the day with
words of wisdom for those of us that are in sales. The key lesson was that “if
you don’t think you are in sales, then think again”.
Sanda Centorino provided a Pathways Moment that
lasted precisely 1 minute and 7 seconds. She shared her experience of being
stuck in Pathways as a Sideliner and how she learned a couple of keys that will
turn her into a Pedestrian. We are holding a couple of Pathways Seminars aimed
at helping make Pathways easier for you. Details are below.
Speaker #1, Tony Centorino, gave a speech on how to
create the best club climate. Tony shared how each one of us can, and in many
cases do, contribute to a positive climate at our club. I’d like to
emphasize one point……Eagle is committed to providing speaking slots to anybody
that wants to speak. If you are 90% sure you will speak, please sign up! If you
want to sign up and the slots are full, then please reach out to our President
(Christine) or VP Education (Ute). They will do what they can to ensure you get
a slot.
Ryhon Soheim was Speaker #2. Ryhon gave his Ice
Breaker speech on the Persuasive Influence Path. Speaking without notes, Ryhon
gave us the condensed version of his life story that led him to IBM. Well done,
Ryhon! On to speech #2!
Omar Ghannam was Speaker #3. He shared a captivating
story about moving into his new home and losing his wallet (again). He taught
us that our brains have a tremendous capacity to store information….It appears
Omar’s brain is so full that he has no room to store the information on where
is wallet actually is. The one thing that I learned is that it wasn’t in the
fruit bowl!
Sandra Centorino was our Topic Master for the
evening. Sandra took full advantage of her expanded time slot by inviting a
total of nine “Newbies” and members that had non-speaking roles to take a card
off of the Love Wheel and tell us what they love…..It was groovy!
A special thanks to the functionaries that were not
mentioned above….Brad Leete (Timer) who did good…Grammarian, Ian
Brooks, who told Brad he actually did well. General Evaluator, Kate
Kelly, and her band of merry evaluators, Ian Brooks and Eric
Krausz….and our Ah Counter, Ann McGuire.
See you
all on February 17th!
