iAM Meeting: Blogging for Building Brand & Community
The iAM Meeting is a non judgmental forum of exchange for people with a purpose to find innovative, authentic, and mindful marketing solutions. Meetings include multi-media presentations, group exercises, and discussions to create a dynamic environment for entrepreneurs to share their passions and find innovative solutions to their challenges while also focusing on inner balance and self awareness. The group also provides opportunities to get feedback and connect with potential clients.
December’s Topic: Blogging
Do you think Blogging is a waste of time?
Do you feel like you don’t have time and therefore don’t blog?
Do you feel like you have to blog regularly?
Do you feel like you are not clear how or what to blog about?
Do you understand all the different ways Blogs can provide value?
What are the different blogging platforms?
To discuss above questions and more, come for the next iAM Meeting. We will discuss why and how to blog effectively.

January’s Topic: Blogging Alliances
In January we will continue our work in Blogging with a focus on working in small groups and creating ongoing sub alliances to give and get support. This meeting will be co-facilitated with Talitha Abramsen who has trained with Peter Block, the founder of the “Six Conversations That Matter.” We will use processes based on Six Conversations That Matter and Open Space Technology to facilitate collaborations among people with common blogging vision and interests.
Within smaller groups we will discuss our challenges and creative solutions related to blogging. Each group will come up with goals for that group that the members feel comfortable committing to give and get support in our blogging endeavors.
Some benefits of attending:
1) Find your tribe - people with common vision and values
2) Learn from other experienced bloggers in non-judgmental place
3) Share your expertise
4) Be energized
5) Build community to give and get support on an ongoing basis
6) Healthy dose of refreshments, humor, and conversations
