We all go through times in our lives when things don’t quite go as planned. I had plans for my business this year that could not come to fruition but am proud that I was able to ensure these last four months of my mother’s life were comfortable and dignified. She passed away last Wednesday and my family will come together this Friday to celebrate her remarkable life.
I know that the plans I have for my business will come into effect over the next 12 months.
When the opportunity arose to apply to be a founding Council member, I applied – as Sarah challenged us to do – move beyond your comfort zone. Because I am soon to retire from a 35 year teaching career, and have plans to build my business, I felt this was an amazing opportunity for me to contribute to the Stampin’ Up! community.
I completed my application and learned how to use Zoom to be interviewed by Em Jane Wilson for the QLD/NZ Demonstrator Council.
I am incredibly proud and excited to have been selected to join the QLD/NZ Council and look forward to achieving the goals outlined below.
FROM THE WEEKLY UPDATES 2018 OCTOBER 30
These 2018–2019 Demonstrator Council members will partner with the Demonstrator Development Managers (DDMs) as ambassadors for and champions of Stampin’ Up! to motivate and inspire demonstrators. They will serve in this role for at least a year.
The councils will work with their DDM to focus on issues such as:
- Finding ways to keep demonstrators connected and engaged with Stampin’ Up!
- Helping demonstrators get new customers.
- Helping demonstrators increase their sales.
- Finding ways to make recruiting easier.
You may see them leading projects or giving challenges which could mean you see them posting related information on social media, for example. Since this is a new programme, the roles of Demonstrator Council members may change over time. Congratulations to our first-ever Demonstrator Council members!
I hope to connect with as many Demonstrators as I can during my time on this Council.
