Contribution Networking: Give so you may Receive

This is a wonderful concept that opens up amazing possibilities for people. Each of us are connected to a wealth of resources and when we get together magic happens. I can't wait for this event! :)

This sounds awesome, Sierra! The typical networking event goes by so fast (you get your minute then the next person is UP!) that I usually feel like so much more help could be given each person if we could take a chance to really listen, focus, search our own resources and connections to see how to help them.

Thursday eves... I'm usually home with daughter, I'll have to see what that week looks like when it approaches. (Then again, she's 15, maybe I'll just abandon her for the night!)

Sierra, this sounds great, but I'll be out of town. I hope you'll do this again.

I feel so drawn to this event, but have the same problem with Thursdays as Kate does. If you choose another day/time, please keep me in the loop!

You know what, I'm signing up. This is just really pulling me. Hopefully I can keep the RSVP.

I have attending these events before and I am happy to help with this event.

It is easy to recieve form others, if for a moment you forget about yourself. Just to be in the spirit of giving frees you up for others to give to you.

Oh Yeah...

I think most of these Networking Events people go in thinking "I need, what can I get", How about we try for awhile, "How can I give, Helping you IS helping me." If we all agreed to do this, things would flow so much quicker.

To achieve the Balance of Give and Take. 50%-50%.

I love these events.. they always produce what i'm looking for ;-)

What a great idea, Sierra! I so wish that I could attend, but I'll be out of town! Until the next one!

Wow. What a spectacular idea for an event. Sierra, as always, you amaze me. If my thursdays evenings were open, I would so be there!

Listening has produced some really amazing results for me in my business and in my personal life. Look forward to being Present for everyone!

Hi Sierra,

Thanks for letting me know it's okay to show up late - I'll get there as fast as I can after my client.

Sorry to cancel but I forgot about my Tower 39 Board meeting.

Now this is really the kind of networking I am hoping for! I will attend with thoughts of hosting or helping to host similar events in the north end as well as with eagerness to meet and contribute and graciously accept help from other great attendees!

THis sounds SO great, but I'm pretty positive I'm in charge of a ride from Drill team practice and dinner for my daughter this Thursday eve, and I won't be able to make it! I hope it goes great and you have this again!

This sounds wonderful- connection and connecting others, two of favorite things. I'm going to make it.

Thanks for creating a wonderful opportunity, anne

I want to go just to see how you fit 51 people in Arcania. Maybe next time. Art T.

Well, I am going to have to cancel. I have a Board meeting to attend for Family Promise of Seattle, a non-profit in W. Seattle.

I am sure there will be more of these. It is a great idea.

My first event. Very exciting!

My first event, too! Excited, but a little nervous about meeting so many great people all at once. Fun! Penny

I'm good everyother Thursday, this one does not look good. Hope you have this again!

I can sense that tonight will be a historic networking event. Contribution networking is a win-win situation for everyone. As the saying goes, "Give first and you shall receive".

Looking forward to tonight!

Regards,

John Trivedi

Sierra Faye Kennedy, What a wonderful fresh approach! Thank you for taking the lead on this on! I look forward to helping how ever I can and to be able to meet others with the same goals in mind.

I'm so sorry I need to cancel. Please let me know when this is offered again. I have to meet up with someone tonight who is going to be out of town next week so this was the best opportunity for me to do so. Have fun and I'll be there next time. Thanks Sierra!

I'm so excited for this event, Sierra!

This is my ENTIRE strategy for life/business coaching.

Simply ask: What do you need?

Many people really don't know what they need until they declare it! AND it's a great experience to be on the receiving end of their answer.

See you soon!!

I am so sorry I missed this opportunity. After an adventurous evening driving and walking around Capital Hill I learned I don't know the neighborhood as well as I thought. Please let me know when another event like this is scheduled and stay warm.

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for the No-Show, right before I came in I got a call from a client who is involved in a massive negotiation tomorrow and by the time the call was done the event was 3/4 over. Hoping to catch next time.

Cheers, Liam

So I have to know, how did it work out? Did everyone have fun? Was their good communication? Art T.

Thank you Sierra for a great event.

And, to reassure Art, the space was very comfortable for the 40 or so folks gathered there. I think you accomplished the intention and many people were helped. I was.

The effort to slog through the rain was worth it. ...Howard

Sounds good Howard. Art T.

There was amazing communication once everyone got the hang of it. I was helped and also enjoyed helping. The space was inviting and helped to put everyone in a relaxed atmosphere. It was a helpful event and I hope it continues. Thanks for hosting Sierra.

Sierra,

This event had a successful first-time go around! Thank you again for putting this together. It was a pleasure meeting everyone and learning more about their businesses and identifying how I could help them out.

This events success calls for another! Who's with me?

John
