+ Zoom Check-In & Thank Yous
These unique times called for taking our monthly meeting virtual, as so many others have done. When Sherre' put a call for support, it was met with many offering their Zoom, Go-To Meeting, Google Hang Outs, WebEx, and SageLeaf as options WOW!
Therefore a special SHOUT OUT of thanks to Timothy Boggs, Dan Black, Amy Hawke, Lena Lumelsky, John Natoli, Jon Vordermark and David Vacchi all offered their platforms. Thank YOU! As we continue to navigate these unprecedented time, we will rotate among these offers as long as we need to go virtual.
Thanks to Dan Black, we gathered via Zoom on Friday, the 10th. Great sharing occurred in how people are adjusting as well as how things have stayed the same, while different. Our meeting in May will be another connector for purposes of checking in and sharing great practices, resources and insights gained amidst all of us adjusting in some way to this new normal. Jon
Vordermark will host allowing us to experience Google Hang Outs.
There was a lot of connecting shared at this past meeting with one-on-ones among many of you. Those who are not on the Goals & Support Spreadsheet may have qualified to add your name to the list.
How do you get added?
- To get your goal and support/resource added, simply check out the PDF and take the initiative to help at least four people with their goal or support request. Report back to Sherre', Karen Bentley, or Jeff Moder, and you will be able to add your goal and support to the list upon verification.
- Clarification: One-on-one meetings are a great start, and will get you recognized for having these meetings in the Shout Out sections. Actually making connections, referrals, or providing resource ideas per the Goals & Support PDF is how you get added.
- Already added: Let us know how you are helping others! This is what this communication is all about!

Mindfulness in Relationship Building
Why are ACAC and IMC a great strategic combination for your consulting business? Here is what Karen Bentley shared about why she joined IMC and values ACAC.
"Since starting my consulting business in early 2018, I have attended dozens of networking and business development meetings; ACAC being one of those. ACAC is the only professional organization I have committed to attending consistently because I have found it to be of high value - a group of professionals committed not only to the growth of their business, but also authentically committed to seeing their colleagues succeed. As a result of my participation in ACAC, I
had an opportunity to attend a Carolinas Chapter IMC meeting which piqued my interest in learning more about the national organization. Additionally, through the trusting relationships built at ACAC I was asked to present a workshop at the September quarterly meeting of the IMC Carolinas Chapter. Having had an opportunity to interact with the professionals engaged with IMC here in North Carolina, I was motivated to join the national organization. As with ACAC,
the IMC is an organization committed to providing quality content and a strong network of professionals committed to each other's success." - Karen Bentley, Bentley Consulting Group
