Hello Everyone,
The agenda for this Friday's Hopkinton Networkers Group (HNG) meeting will be featured by workshop activities. The facilitator for this week will be Steve Sherlock. We will devote the first hour, from 10 to 11 AM to the following agenda: Welcome, Landings, Announcements, New Member Intros, and Needs and Leads. Please arrive early, so we can make every effort to start on time. In the second hour, we will conduct a workshop with various activities. Here is how it will be done:
Workshop Activities:
1 - Discovery...Re-Discovery...and FUN:
The handout provided has a 7 x 4 matrix of boxes, i.e., 28 in all, where each box contains an open-ended statement that when completed will yield a more composite picture of the person.
2 - Transferrable Skills:
Bring your resume. We will break out into small groups and use the classrooms. After the resume is reviewed, a discussion will take place to determine what transferrable skills your résumé displays.
3 - Name Associations (if time permits):
Think of a relationship of your name with something else that others could relate with and could remember your name. For example, the association I use (Gil Krispien) is the breakfast serial Rice Krispies whereby removing the last letter "s" and replacing it with a "n" spells my last name. You will be quite surprised how easily it will be to remember names afterwards.
