Happy summer, coaches!
Sorry for a bit of radio silence!
I started a pair of side gigs, so I’m entering “vacation mode” with the newsletter for the next month or two. What this means: You can still expect event round-up emails as-needed, but I’m taking a pause on development of detailed event previews and reflections.
This is so I can learn my new roles, adjust to the new schedule, maneuver my coaching/ghostwriting practice into a new season, and – most important of all – spend some of my summer readin’ books by the river. (I popped an AIM-style away message onto my website to this effect.)
Buuuut I’d love for this to be an opportunity for a creative / expressive member of this community… perhaps you!… to pick up the mic and guest-MJ guest-DJ the newsletter for one or more emails.
If you’d like to try your hand at penning an upcoming installment of the Coaching Corner newsletter, reply back to me (findthewordswithmj@gmail.com) with your “pitch”. For guest-DJ purposes, I recommend we stick with one of these formats:
A preview of an upcoming event – Q&A with the host.
A reflection from a CC happening/conversation/event.
I can provide some light editing / polishing, and Substack logistics.
This request dovetails nicely into a similarly-natured request from our CC leadership.
Kelly and Connie are actively looking for your participation in:
Facilitating beloved rituals like Real Talk and Speed Friending. DM Kelly Liu on Slack to throw your hat in the ring.
Participating in the “What we’re thinking about” survey to help determine the themes and initiatives we focus on next.
In Kelly’s words:
For BTS talks this summer, we’re trying a new process: one where we as a community get to build the lineup together by co-creating the lineup through a brainstorm + vote.
Share your special sauce with us. It’s really fun to lead things within Coaching Corner, so if you haven’t stepped up (or if you haven’t stepped up lately), consider pitching in!
Great batch of events incoming! Check ‘em out, check ‘em out!
Catch ya later, Coaches!
