The more they stay the same

Dear subscriber
Our Premium Members have decided that they would like our programme of support and learning for the next few months to stay much the same as it is now.
There will be a few tweaks but the basic pattern of weekly activities will be unchanged until we see how the world changes.
Thanks to everyone for your ideas and suggestions.

Are you ready to hobnob?
We can’t get together as we used to, so join us for a very special Zoom call as we wind down for Christmas. Everyone is welcome, old friends, new friends, and friends we haven’t met yet - so invite someone new to join us and have some fun!
Bring your own refreshments, your favourite cracker joke, share your Christmas traditions and have some fun with the people who’ve shared so much with us this year.
Check the attendance list, and if you're not on it - sign up quick!
Join a different event every day of the week!
MONDAY
Join the discussion in our LinkedIn Group every Monday to share your plans for the week. Its THE most effective, quick, fun way to build relationships and get to know other members.
TUESDAY
New option - join at 9.45 for 15 minutes of guided meditation followed by the informal catch-up at 10.00. No agenda, just chat, listen and smile.
WEDNESDAY
Our members share their expertise in a series of workshops. Practical, inspiring, uplifting, fun with lots of ideas for making the most of opportunities.
THURSDAY
An hour of business networking, Drive style. No elevator pitches, check who you'll meet before we start and have great conversations about your business.
FRIDAY
End the week by sharing what you did, good, bad or ugly, back in our LinkedIn Group. Give others a cheer, a hug, do a happy dance and get your share right back!
WEEKEND
Enjoy whatever socially distanced activity you can! (Thanks Anne-Marie Miller for this brilliant doodle!) Come back next week and do it all again!
As well as our regular events we often feature events run by our members so keep an eye on the events list for announcements!
Are you on the coronacoaster?
Every week seems to bring a new set of challenges. You can feel fine one minute and wrecked the next. What's consistent is the care our members give each other. Every week they blow me away with their support and encouragement. You may not feel like getting involved but there are lots of ways to stay in touch.
Exceptional Times - Exceptional Circumstances - Exceptional Help
We've gathered a lot of helpful resources in one place here.
Exceptional Support
If you have any queries or concerns about your business and how you deal with the coronovirus situation, please get in touch. We have many skilled people in our network who are happy to provide support and advice free of charge so please don't feel isolated or alone.
