This year for <strong>nafe</strong> we are going to work on helping you do something you have been wanting to do but it's<br />
out of your comfort zone. So start thinking on what that thing might be,<br />
I was totally out of my comfort zone when I spoke for SUE TALK in December in Orange County at the<br />
Hilton Hotel. I have spoken for years all over the country and to groups as large as 10,000 in the audience<br />
and never once had to memorize a talk. For SUE TALK you could have no notes and no props, it was one<br />
of the hardest things I ever had to do. I wanted to quit many times but I knew I was always pushing each of<br />
you to do your best and never give up so I had to keep going and I am honored to say I mastered the talk<br />
and now I think it is something each of you also should consider doing.<br />
SUE TALK is done in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and in 2020 Inland Empire, contact Michele<br />
Bergquest if you are interested in knowing more about it. Her number is 760-3785 and email is<br />
michelle@connectedwomenofinfluence.com , they are the ones that do SUE TALK. Lauryn Hunter one of<br />
our <strong>nafe</strong> sisters and former director of West Hollywood <strong>nafe</strong> also was on the stage doing a SUE TALK the<br />
same time I did mine and she also said it was the hardest thing she did, and she too is a speaker and has<br />
spoken all over. We both speak from our heart so memorizing and sequencing a talk was new to us. But we<br />
both want to thank Michelle for selecting us and pushing us out of our comfort zones.<br />
Below is a photo of the both of us on the stage after it was over and we both nailed it, and both were happy<br />
we took on the task of doing this.<br />
So come prepared to the January <strong>nafe</strong><br />
meetings to tell us what one thing you<br />
always wanted to do and its totally out of<br />
your comfort zone and we are going to<br />
help you in 2020 accomplish that.<br />
Also I am doing Vision Boards again this<br />
year who wants to come and join me and<br />
create your board for 2020 see flyer below.<br />
RSVP as soon as possible, this is<br />
something I do every year for members<br />
that want to do a board. Looking forward<br />
to an exciting year of 2020 to serve each<br />
and everyone of you.
