Join WISE members in community to "pay it forward," where we practice giving and receiving.
About this Event

You're invited to join the WISE Virtual: Resilience and Reciprocity Circle.

It can be challenging to ask for what we need, resulting in burnout. With the approach of Valentine's Day, we invite WISE members to come together in community to practice self-care in the form of asking for and giving help.

What to Expect:

Welcome and icebreaker
We will break into small groups. In each reciprocity circle, everyone is required to make a request (it helps to know that everyone will make a request!). Then we will tap the collective knowledge and networks of the group to try to meet each person's request.
We will come together as a group to share reflections. Participants will also be invited to share practices that have brought them greater resilience during challenging times.

Why Should I Attend?

Identifying and articulating what we need is the first step to achieving it. Also, it feels good to connect with others, and give back :)

What Can I Ask For?

It's up to you! It's helpful to be specific. For example:

"I'm looking for a marketing expert who could help me create a social media strategy for my business. My budget is $X."
"I'm trying to start my own business as a financial advisor and would appreciate 30 minutes to chat with an established finacial advisor to hear their 'lessons learned'."
"I'm looking to improve my public speaking skills. Does anyone have experience with Toastmasters, or are there any online classes you'd recommend?"
"I'm looking for an accountability buddy for a weekly walk-and-chat to encourage each other to stay on track with our fitness goals."
"Does anyone have experience with grant writing and could review a 10-page draft for me within the next week?"
