Semi-Annual Better Together Gathering

Description

We’re thrilled to see the fellowship developing in our wellness communities. It’s a clear reflection of what we envisioned when we launched the first group in 2014. Today, we have seven groups - plus one virtual group - who have linked arms to help people in their neighborhoods discover a whole-person lifestyle and provide the convenience and support to sustain it.

It’s time for our community to come together for our July 2024 Semi-Annual Better Together Gathering - to meet new faces, see familiar ones, and experience an uplifting evening with like-minded thinkers in the wellness industry. If you have the heart to make this world a better place by helping people embrace their spirit-mind-body connection, this is the place that will fill your cup so you can continue sharing your gifts with the world.

This year, Coffee Lunch Coffee founder and Master Networker, Alana Muller, will join the Wellness Consortium to share a brief overview of her accessible, relevant, immediately actionable approach to professional networking for anybody interested in connecting with others, getting involved in their communities, seeking to advance their careers, or looking to build social relationships.  Participants will gain a better understanding of the importance of building meaningful connections and how to engage in the process. Following the presentation, participants will have a hands-on opportunity to establish or renew connections with their colleagues during a fun, highly interactive, facilitated speed networking exercise.
