Greetings from Panama! — and Upcoming Events
Hi, Everyone!
As many of you know, Linda and I are currently traveling to Boquete, Panama in part to check it out as a potential retirement area but mostly to test the practicalities of running our business remotely — and let me tell you … you don’t get much more remote than the mountain highlands of Panama’s Chiriqui Province! We will fill you in on more details as our trip unfolds, but for now, here’s a photo of Volcán Barú, the 2+ mile tall dormant stratovolcano (like Vesuvius and Mt. St. Helens) that towers over the town of Boquete:
Other than the fact that we’re in a cloud forest, it’s business as usual for us. The only difference you should notice (if the Internet gods look kindly upon us) is that our coaching calls will be held via GoToMeeting. If you would like to make an appointment to chat, just send me an email and we will set things up. (Please note that our cellphones don’t work in Panama.)
We have some wonderful events planned for you next week! In fact, PLEASE NOTE that there are THREE EVENTS covered in this post — so be sure to scroll down and read the whole thing. We would hate for you to miss a call that you would benefit from attending. If you would like to see the full list of webinars and workshops for the next several MONTHS, just visit the Calendar of Events.
We do hope you will make time to attend:

“A Lifetime of Leads: Image Marketing” — Webinar Series for Members of the ChangeWorks® Community
Monday, September 22, 2014 from 11AM to 12PM ET. During this time block, Linda and I will be flying from Panama City to David (on a plane with a cargo net at the back of the passenger compartment — yikes!!) and then making the trek up the slopes of the volcano to the town of Boquete — a journey of over 500 miles at an elevation of almost a mile.
We will resume our exploration of Image Marketing next Monday.

“The ChangeWorks® Forum” — FREE Drop-In Support for the entire ChangeWorks® Community
Monday, September 22, 2014 from 1PM to 2PM ET. We invite all members of the ChangeWorks® Community to participate in the ChangeWorks® Forum. During these 60-minute “drop-in” webinars, members are invited to bring any questions they would like us to answer, any activity lists they would like us to critique and any ChangeGrids® they would like our guidance in reading. There is never a set agenda on the ChangeWorks® Forum, so take full advantage of this opportunity to make the webinar what YOU need it to be.

This call is for content delivery, best practices and question/answer sessions based around recruiter needs. The objective of this series of calls is to share resources with our team of Recruiters and Recruiter Partners, get feedback about what has been provided and talk about what might be required and desired for the future, and explore progress and best practices among our team members.
