We are looking for speakers and locations for MCC meetings
I just sent this blast:

Can you believe how close we are to August? Umm, Summer…where are you going? Starting next Monday, things will be back to normal in MCC Land. Did I just hear a 3742 person sigh of relief? Believe me, I understand. I too am looking forward to getting “back to business”. This community development thing is needed, but can be tiresome. I will tell you it hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, I got to watch Renee Howarth receive an award today. It was a very special moment in time. She received the “President’s Volunteer Service Award” for her efforts with Blood, Sweat and Gear. She got herself a fancy hand signed letter from the President himself. Please take a moment to congratulate her. That is really, really COOL. Kudos to Lisa Diggs, founder of Buy Michigan Now for receiving one as well. Thanks to Menachem Kniespeck of Operation Kid Equip for bestowing this wonderful honor on us. Speakers and Locations- I know I have made this request before, but it seems as though it has gotten lost in the shuffle. Starting in September (and hopefully sooner) we want to begin hosting the majority of our meetings in the a.m. or late afternoon at member’s offices. On the off chance you don’t have an office and still want to host a meeting, pick a place and let us know. We would like to stay in the same geographies we are in currently, but move away from the restaurant thing (for the most part). When we do this, we will lower the cost per meeting significantly. We are also looking for speakers. So far Kimberly Kassner and I have shared some of our expertise at meetings. Both have been well received. If you are a speaker and have significant expertise that others should know about, let us know. We would love to have you on the bill. Simply reply to this discussion and let us know if you want to host (include the location) or speak. We would love to hear from you. The Blood The first day of Blood, Sweat & Gear is in the books! We had a pretty good showing in Northville and gathered over 25 pints of blood…that saves 75 lives. WAY TO GO MCC!!! Thanks to all of those who bled and those who came out and tried. You are all appreciated! Just because you didn’t make it to Northville, please go to a Red Cross location near you (www.givelife.org to find one) and use the code MotorCC The Sweat So you know, we will be working rain or shine on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of this week. As a special bonus, this Saturday, Daniel Ottney will be doing his Teleprospecting class again. Click HERE to read what people are saying about the last one. Way to go Daniel!! The Gear We are off to a great start on raising GEAR for Operation Kid Equip too. I am looking forward to the results. The After Party Next Monday, August 3rd, we are hosting a happy hour at Meriweathers in Southfield to celebrate our efforts in Blood, Sweat & Gear. If you gave BLOOD, SWEATed, ponied up some GEAR or volunteered at the booth at Buy Michigan Week, you are invited as our guest. If you didn’t do any of the above, but would like to come we ask for a simple donation of $20 that will go to the causes we are supporting. This will be a great time to connect and celebrate! Twitter Class- All the cool kids are doing it, but the ones who are doing it right are seeing significant results. If you don’t know what RT, DM or the @ symbol means, you NEED to be there. If you know those things but want to know how to follow the right people and more importantly have the right people follow you, it would be wise to join us today at 2:30 at Automation Alley. Details HERE As always, do let us know what we can do for you. Be Connected- Terry Bean

Thanks for the entertaining and very educational presentation on Twitter today. I am excited about the possibilities of using it to grow our business. We delighted to be new members of Motor City Connect.
Dr. Lorna and Jim Minewiser,
Advantage Business Consultants
I can recommend strongly a few places around downtown Detroit that would be wonderful meeting spots. They would extend the presentation of arts and culture with the business community.
Terry, I would love to speak at one of your meetings. I'm experienced & can provide some testimonials, references, if you'd like. Let's talk further, especially about your needs.
Also - I've some colleagues who certainly could benefit from MCC as well as benefit you in their speaking - one of whom is a professional humorist and motivational speaker, who has also hosted a show on the Discovery channel. And another who is a life coach and a member of the National Speakers Bureau.
Thoughts?

I'm ready to host a meeting at our Clinton Township office..16 mile and Utica. I sent you all the informtion. Great idea to change up locations!

Hello
I would like to raise my hand to speak at one or more of the meetings. I have many workshops that I have done in the community. They are health and health challenge related.
So if the group is interested in hearing about such topics, I would be open to a conversation
Dr Pam Tomaszycki
I can get access to rooms in Southfield, the largest room might hold 70 people set up without tables.
Brian
I would like to be a speaker. I can speak about Emotional Intelligence. I am also preparing a presentation on SOAR which I would be able to give after September. SOAR is a Strengths based, whole systems approach to developing strategy.

Enhancing the positive.
It appears there is no shortage of speakers for MCC events. I have had the pleasure of speaking in 43 states, Puerto Rico (with a linguist), and Ontario. My topics include the variety of people skills such as "Setting Achievable Goals", "Objections Are Your Friend", "Life's Leadership Lessons", "Establishing Trust", "Crossing the Generation Gap", "Preventing Employee Wipeouts", "You're Not Running a Vineyard So Stop Your Whining", and "Overcoming Life's Disappointments".
Thanks all for the responses. We are gathering them and will get back to you soon regarding new locations and a new meeting format.
Have a great weekend.
Terry
Terry -
You know I'd love to speak at any MCC meeting. I could do my talk about staying positive, I could talk about Purpose Hunting, or we could come up with another topic.
And as you know, I don't have a location to offer for a meeting.

We have a nice office in Troy, MI which can seat about 12-15 for a smaller type venues. If the timing is right, we could make it work for several, occasional, smaller group venues. 2 Flat screens (1 in 12 person conf. room, 1 in group space).
