Successful Thinkers - May 13 {Meetings}

Another week went by and another great meeting with the Stockton Successful Thinkers group.

Since December I have gotten to some of these women and men and the group and grown to truly like them. They not only come to share their own knowledge, but to help advance each other in our personal and business lives.

I feel like the group has gotten pretty lively since Malia Cash-Taylor and Annie Lee have taken over and I can't wait for the group to grow and to get to know more of the members of this "Successful" group.

Above: Malia opens the meeting as always with open arms, welcoming new members, current members and the speaker of the day. She is one of the two lead ambassadors for the Stockton Successful Thinkers group, but after her Wednesday hours and the meeting she works on flowers, money lays, and some tasty food as the owner of Hawaiian Legacy Catering & Design.

Fellow member Sandie Gilbert part owner of G & G Blooms & independent consultant for Mary Kay took notes during Roberts speech:

Can you hear? Make sure back row can hear you.

Effective Communication

My philosophy regarding communication whether you agree or not which is after all, communication.

All living creatures experience communication but not to the extent that humans do.

Human accomplishments speak to the effectiveness of communication.

Communication may also be non spoken. Appreciation of nature, art, music, geology, etc.

Cave paintings dated 25,000 years ago which communicated events before written language.

Communication with very young - poems, music, actions, things overheard.
Be careful what you say because it may be hurtful. Think of a way to change a possibly bad habit in a constructive manner.

Vocabulary usage is important to expand your mind and those to whom speak.

Reading is an essential part of communication including audio books.
"Just Listen" by Goulston.

Be concise and to the point so you will be effective in writing and presenting. Don't waste your client's time. Ask for the order!

Don't be harsh on yourself. You are of great worth. Forgive yourself for mistakes. Treat yourself in miraculous ways!

Below: Karen McGough Messersmith, an independent Wellness Consultant at NIKKEN talked to the group about how important one-on-ones can be to get to know, like and trust a person before going straight into business with them.

Ella Holman, a Stockton Ambassador talked about two of the nine steps to success.

Grace Capon Aquino, a fairly new member to Successful Thinkers and Vice President of Operations at Mobility Express Home Care and Transportation Services brought a book to share for the book club which Annie Lee created.

She brought the book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T Harv Eker.

You might be wondering why my logo isn't on the photographs on list post. Since Successful Thinkers/Mastery for Women isn't about promoting your own business, but in helping build others.

As any other photographer would I still placed a watermark so the photos can't be reproduced without consent from the artist.

Therefore in the future all other Successful Thinkers or Mastery for Women meeting with only have the watermark so it isn't insinuated that I am posting these blogs to only promote myself, but the people who attend the meetings.
