W.A.N.T. Meeting Minutes

November 20, 2007

 

Present:          Gina, Barb, Seanne, Doug H., Karen H., Troy, Jim

 

Miscellaneous comments: 

 

WANT members apparently have not been checking the website for minutes and information on the dates and times of future meetings.  In the future, I will be posting the minutes on the blog as well as directly emailing members advising of the next meeting date. 

 

We seem to be experiencing intermittent problems with the conference bridge so Gina has volunteered to research other options.

 

I.                WANT Group Hello

 

The best thing that happened to each of us since last we met: 

 

Barb held a successful meeting with her team at work identifying her specific needs and expectations from them.  

 

Doug and Karen spent some quality time with Doug's mom and are happy to report that she (mom-in-law) is much improved.  She has regained her "magic legs."  Yeah!! 

 

On the wonderful topic of moms, Seanne's mom is doing well with her treatments.  Her recent biopsy showed completely clean!  Another yeah!!

 

Troy now has two more employees to assist at work, allowing him more time.  He can now "focus part-time on my job and full-time on my future."

 

Jim was provided with a rough date of openings for two promotions to captain positions.  He will test for the opportunity in mid-January.  We will all visualize "Captain Jim."

 

Gina spent some intense time brainstorming with Troy and in the process discovered some new approaches for her business Fit For Good.  She has a definite direction and will be working on a draft business plan during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

 

II.              Discussion of the upcoming Retreat/ Initial Agenda

 

Gina and Troy have generously donated their time and effort to put together a great itinerary for the upcoming retreat.  In recognition of this, the rest of us have volunteered to plan and obtain the food & drink for the weekend.  We will all pitch in equally on the cost. 

 

A.    Friday Night (member arrivals at various times)

Planned dinner – take out from PF Changs.  Friday night dinner will provide an opportunity for an open forum where WANT members are encouraged to chat about themselves and their struggles and successes in a relaxed environment.

Discussion of four objectives:

1.               Fun

2.               Getting specific in what we want and why (motivation)

W.A.N.T. Meeting Minutes

November 7, 2007

 

Present:          Gina, Barb, Seanne, Doug H., Troy, Jim

 

Miscellaneous Business:

1.               Troy had some trouble dialing into the Conference Bridge.  Gina has a recommendation from a friend and will look into other options, including one that may audio record our phone calls.

2.               We tested Skype on Seanne's computer and found that it worked well in a group environment.  We will use this for some processes at the upcoming Retreat.

 

I.                WANT Group Hello

 

The best thing that happened to each of us since last we met: 

Doug H finished his largest project to date under his own lead.  The project went extremely well and will mean lots of revenue for the company.  He is now a member of the "$600k club."

 

Barb tapped into resources from Rapport's Power Communications class and successfully returned home from "pity city."

 

Seanne has been struggling with a problem at work and found that after disengaging for a short period of time and allowing herself to address her anger and frustration she could come back and be happy and productive.

 

Gina is living "in the moment" and listening to the little voice that speaks to her.  She was on a flight home from LAS that was delayed.  Her little voice said "get off the plane and try again tomorrow," which she did.  Soon after, the flight was cancelled and she was already settled for the night while the rest of the passengers were still battling for new itineraries.

 

Troy has become focused and is living in the moment.  He is on track with his Life Mastery goals and the answers and opportunities are coming fast.  He is feeling an energy shift.  And for all of us . . . he has learned of some new wines from New Zealand that he will share with us if we choose J

 

Jim just returned from a 10-day cruise with his mother and two brothers.  It was a great opportunity for them all to reconnect and share with one another.  Jim and his older brother found a mutual respect for each other.

 

II.              Discussion of the upcoming Retreat

 

A.    Agenda

Troy placed 10 items on the WANT webpage and asked for our input in ranking the level of importance of these items.  This was to be submitted by Friday 11/9 so I hope you all participated!

           

B.    What outcomes are we looking for?

Gina – Excitement and recharging.  To further define what I want and how to get it and to help others with the same.

Troy – To get back that experience that we had in Lake Arrowhead (Troy, Barb & Gina) where we were passionate about what we wanted and we helped each other to refine our Wants.

Barb – To recharge and refocus in person.  Some of my goals are changing and I would like to redefine and seek feedback.

Jim – To refocus on Wants and seed guidance and direction.

Seanne – Seek manifestation of what we do on our phone calls.

Doug H – To refocus and "rededicate myself to who I always was."

 

C.    Logistics

Kitty will not be able to join the Retreat in LAS.  She supports us all and we will miss her!

 

Seanne has confirmed that Tony Roma's delivers.  Yeah!  We will have a great dinner on Saturday night at our COME AS YOU WILL BE event. 

 

Please submit your special requests for groceries to Barb, Seanne, Karen or Doug H.  We will pick up supplies upon our arrival early Friday evening.

Tuesday, November 20 at 7:00 p.m. PST
