San Fernando Valley Breakfast Meeting, July 22
"Networking: How to Create a Powerful & Memorable Elevator Speech"
with
Patrick Henry, The Fishing Coach- Locate and Land New Clients-Networking for Professionals
Have you ever explained what you do to someone and their eyes glaze over as we talk in jargon and process speak? Learn how to engage your peers in a dialogue rather than the monologue that we afflict on people. I teach you to the six-steps to craft a Discovery Speech - where people actually discover what you do in a manner that it is memorable and compelling. The secret is how to get them to ask you a series of questions about your practice and give them answers they will understand and can repeat to others.

Welcome New Members (June, 2005)! |
|
Henry is a new member to IMC. We are delighted to have you join us and hope that you will become a vital and participating member of our Southern California Chapter!
IMC Southern California's mentoring program
If you are one of our new IMC SoCal members (or an old one) and would like to arrange for a mentor, please send an e-mail to Edith Bodnar, Mentoring Chair for IMC SoCal.
Similarly, if you are a senior consultant, especially if you're a CMC, we need you to help bring less experienced members up to speed in the profession. If you'd be willing to contribute some time to help another IMC member (and incidentally refresh your skills, advertise your capabilities within the organization and strengthen IMC SoCal itself)
Please contact Edith Bodnar, at e_m@att.net or 866-527-7172

I especially want to mention Raymond Urgo - outgoing Secretary, Azita Arvani - outgoing Program Chair, and Michele Dortch - Pasadena area Breakfast Chair. These folks have each done an outstanding job, but are moving on to other adventures with the completeion of their terms. Paul Glen, CMC - outgoing Board Chair (Past President) deserves a special thank you for several years of large contribution to our chapter. We apreciate each and every one of you and you have made a big difference for us. Thanks! We have accomplished many good things for IMC members and guests. |

IMC's website is growing! A Feature of the site is a Members' Link page where we post member logos and links to the member's site. As many of you know this type of linking can improve your positioning on search engines and better make you visible on the Internet. Please contact us at news@imcsocal.org to have your information added to this members-only page.
Another feature of the site is a carpooling info sheet for those people wishing to set up a carpool to the monthly IMC events (breakfast and chapter meetings). Members can simply provide information on their preferences and this information will be added to the site, allowing other members to match up their needs.
